JohnK's 3000 post - with a mystery prize!

[serfty]

I think a johnK 3000th thread beckons!

And I don't think that milestone is far away either

Ok, yes!

let's go; I'll get the ball rolling and guess Tuesday 1st August 2006 1am!

Edited to add: Entries close at 2,950 JohnK posts; he is currently at 2865.

Hmm. Mystery prize.

Hmm. Mystery prize.

Yep! a mystery... As thread promoter, I will provide once won ....

145 posts left.

Hmm. At JohnK's current posting speed, that could be done in a week

Seeing he is heading overseas soon for a 2 week sojourn, I'm hesitant to guess soon. But I think he'll have plenty of spare time in QP lounges to post as well.

Choices. Choices!

29 July. 9am Sydney time.

I love mystery prizes. Am I allowed to make a prediction?

The 2 weeks holiday took the gloss off this contest.

Yes, you certainly were very quiet!

Congratulations to oz_mark for having the closest prediction, got the date right, after I finally managed to reach 3,000 posts.

I think serfty has offered a mystery prize so oz_mark could you get in touch with serfty to arrange collection.

Thank you to all who participated.

 

[oz_mark]

Congratulations JohnK on reaching the 3000 milestone.

I wonder what prize (or non-prize ) serfty has organised!

Thanks oz_mark.

I am sure you will enjoy mystery prize and the spoils of victory.

Thanks oz_mark.

I want to lodge a protest:!:...by the time oz_mark lodged his guess, eveyone bar ngariman had been eliminated

I demand that JohnK's post be reset to zero, and we will have to make new guesses as to when he will reach his 3000th post..
