AFF's 500,000th post thread....

[Nigelinoz]

As I understand it, there is supposed to be an update on the Qantasia/RedQ thing soon (basically a Yay or Nay to it). Maybe it's that.

Quite possible I reckon,one poster on PPRuNe seems to think it may be about the MH tie up,but another speculates that it may be about redundancies of 200 LAMES,I guess
we will find out on the 16th.

Apologies for starting thread drift.

I was actually going to post what your said Nigelinoz, however I think Reggie has the inside running...

I don't think I have a snowflakes chance at the current posting rate ,my money is on Reggie but Mr Wilson isn't out of the running.

Have to agree with you there markis10...with all of us now flying Virgin a little more, it couldn't have helped - but I think some Intl cities are looking likely for a cutback

Capacity cuts and accelerated retirement of fleet.

Seems that today's profit downgrade and announced route changes may have come a little too late for some, and a little too early for others.

About ~2000 posts to go in the next 4 days? I’ll just be out of the running again

Yeah but I think you will probably be closer to the mark than me,I reckon it will tick over sometime on Saturday so that means I will be out by about 7 days.

A boost today thanks to AJ

Think I'm out of the running

No. Not if AJ or/and the unions keeps yapping and folk here comment
At 649 or less posts per day Reggie wins
At 650 or more posts per day LW wins

I think Air Australia has boosted the figures.

And also a QF announcement has added some extra traffic as well.

And the the usual issues are still being added to.

Hmmm. My last post in this thread has disappeared which hopefully means that post padding at the time of these contests is not tolerated....

Don't be so suggestive....someone might just get a 'good' idea, even if it means munitalP will complain bitterly on Facebook... :mrgreen:

 

[QF WP]

So is this why it had been flakey today (as reported by others on FB)

 

[Reggie]

Reggie the winner unless the site is down for a few days

Woohoo! I would like to thank the Academy, my parents, my wife, my children ............ Alan Joyce and the post padders. I also thank the mods for combining posts from the padders, and admin not doing a weekend cleanup.

Seriously though, the fat sheila is clearing her throat, but has not started the song, so I'll be back to thank you all when the 500000 post comes up.

 

[QF WP]

We've all done our bit so you are now in the winners seat Reggie. Most haven't transgressed too much on the post padding count (including me). Don't forget to thank Virgin, Amex, Cellarmasters, etc

And me-knew I shouldn't have done it!
Congrats Reggie.Once again I am the bridesmaid.

 

[Major]

I concede, well picked Reggie

 

[Nigelinoz]

Congratulations Reggie,the 400,000th post came up on 14th of July last year so we have had another 100,000 posts in 7 months.
Well Done.

Does that mean Moores law is applicable to forum post counts, in other words, doubles every two years?

I'm sure as a moderator you could find the threads for 200,000 and 300,000 easier than me and tell us how long between each?
