​

After more than 10 wonderful years, with more than 300,000 members posting and asking questions and answering questions, making new friends and more than 1 million threads, it's hard to imagine just how many posts there are….

NEARLY 19,000,000!!!!



In an effort to celebrate with everyone we are starting a new contest to guess when we will reach the amazing milestone of 19 million posts!​

Be the closest to guess the DATE & HOUR (Eastern Standard Time) when we'll hit 19,000,000 posts and win one of three prizes:

1. The closest guess will receive a $50 Gift certificate to the BYC Store
2. The next two closest guesses will each receive a $20 Gift certificate to the BYC store

We'll be accepting guesses until the end of day Tuesday, the 20th of February (02/20/2018). ​

How To Enter:

Simply reply to this thread with your guess. Your reply MUST be in this format:Month/Day/Year Hour... kinda like this:

11/2/2018 18:00:00
or
1/2/2018 6:00 pm


Rules:

1. The closest guess to the actual date/hour (either before or after) wins.
2. You can only enter the contest with ONE GUESS ENTRY!
3. If you want to lock in a specific day/hour, post it before anybody else.
4. You can change your guess to a different day/hour IF IT IS NOT TAKEN but if you choose another day you allow someone else to take your previous guess.
5. You can change your guess as many times as you want until the end of the contest time above!
6. To change your guess: Edit your guess post before the end of the contest
7. All guesses must be on the HOUR (i.e., NO MINUTES). If you entered minutes into your guess your guess will be rounded up or down to the closest hour.
8. Most important: HAVE LOTS OF FUN!

You can find the current number of posts on the BYC Homepage (look in the right side of the homepage).​

I thought in the interim (it is Sunday and people are spending time with their families, hopefully)...

I want to congratulate BYC on reaching 19,000,000 posts!!! Pretty amazing!

O.K. you guys, we finally have our winners! For the first time ever I believe we have a tie for first place, so we decided to have two winners and one second place this time.

Congratulations to @17 chickens and @oldhenlikesdogs for both getting first place!

Um, kin we start over? I wasn't ready......

I narrowed down the closest guesses yesterday and more so this morning. Just waiting for Rob to let me know the exact time we hit the target, so I can be 100% sure I got them right. We had 4 members very close to the exact hour and one nearly spot on, if I got the time right

Oh, just peachy! I told TOLD him! I said, “Nifty, put the undercooked chicken leg and the gas station sushi down!!!” Poor Nifty!

 

[17 chickens]

Thanks for the $50 store gift, I got me some books and a travel mug!
congrats to the other winners!

If anyone is having difficulty editing their posts to change their guess, please report the post and make a note with the report that you want to change your guess. The next staff member that handles the reports will take care of it for you

I didn't forget about you, promise. I'm waiting for Nifty to check the exact time and let me know. Unfortunately he got sick over the weekend and haven't been online or able to check for me yet. So sorry we're keeping you all in suspense here! I will get this done for you ASAP. Just bear with us, please.
