The 4M contest was kinda odd in that there were only 3 days to guess a time. And the cutoff for the time to guess, was a mere 45 hours prior to the 4 millionth post happening.
I kinda liked the 3M contest better. Kept us in suspense.
2M contest announced on 6/10/2010 @ 12:27pm and cutoff for guessing was 6/14/2010 midnight. 2M post happened 12 days later on 6/26/2010 @ 7:29 AM
3M contest announced on 8/2/2012 @ 7:18PM and open through 8/20/2012. 3M post happened 38 days later on 9/27/2012 @ 9:24 PM
4M contest announced 1/26/15 @ 6:37PM and open through 1/29/2015. 4M happened two days later on 1/31/2015 @ 8:54 PM
So the 4M happened all so fast.
Posting has slowed down a bit since 3M and 4M, cause IIRC we were averaging 1000-1200 posts a day during those times. So with 116000 posts to go, I though we were a little closer when I posted this thread. Thinking we were ~100 days out.
Turns out we are down to ~800 a day. So still ~145 days out.
I just dont want time to fly by and I miss all the excitement
