They're probably busy seeing which 10m poster is closest to being the10m by 100ths of a fraction of a second. I'm sure there were quite a few
I heard that Mrs. Crabtree (6th grade English teacher) is checking the posts for errors. I understand that she is a stickler for using upper case and lower case at the appropriate times, and she hates slang.
One thing I appreciate about the mods and senior members is their sense of humors!! Ya'll KNOW that saying something like this will most likely send the noobs (innocent lambs) for their 2nd box of Kleenex in a split second, don't ya???!!!
I'll believe 'who won' or 'when it'll be posted/shared' when I see it in a highlighted post at the top of the ECF screen - so, for you jokers, shape up, be nice, and TRY and control the fingers, k? HAHAHA what a day yesterday was!! just too dang much fun to watch and read the posts...... a most entertaining evening for us 'left coasters' - I figure it posted sometime between 7:50pm and 7:55pm west coast time (here in Arizona).
It's also quite remarkable that the whole system didn't crash with the last minute traffic!! Good planning by someone, there!
What a FANTASTIC FORUM, made up with a whole gamut of folks, all quite fun to sit and chat with and learn from!!!!
Yep..... as of about 5 minutes ago the post count was 10,005,734
sounds like the ol' saying - you snooze, you loose!! sorry 'bout that!! I'll share with you if I win (grin)... [that's 'share my excitement, not my goodies!']
Did anyone keep a count as to how many times 'Where do you find the current count' type post showed up ?? That would most likely be in the four digits figure!.... haha
in this thread alone!

I don't know HOW they're going to figure out which of the hundreds of posts that came in at the exact same fraction of a second is THE 10 millionth.... it may be that they have to just kind pick one, once they've narrowed it down to a few that were at the same .00000001 of a second. lol The posts are numbered on each thread, but there are soooo many different threads that it seems virtually impossible to figure out.

Good ol' Google Search result: Acts 20:35 (New King James Version) - Bible Gateway
Acts20:35 - In everything I did, I showed you that - Bible Gateway... NKJV
Acts 20:35 (New King James Version) .... And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'”
For me, this quote says it all - definitely 'more better' to give - sure love them blessings when they're flowin' !!! (grin) "He" can do that mighty special like!!!
Do people actually debate this?

The title says, "ECF - Heading towards 10 million! Prizes......" We know some lucky dog has won $600 of vaping stuff (how cool is that? I still hope it goes to a worthy soul) but that seems like false advertizing, it's only one prize, not prizes. What else do these folks have up their sleeves, eh? I gotta tell you though; trying to keep up on a dial up connection wasn't possible. You'd try to log in and suddenly find yourself drifting in the void, the really black one, though I swear I could hear muffled screams of frustration not far away. Suddenly you're snapped back into reality but the last page you were on is now 12 pages back from the leader. So you hit the last page button, screen goes to white for 50 seconds and then boom, youre ahead of where you were but 16 pages behind the current leader. Somewhere I slipped in sideways "dial up really sucks" and pfffft, back to the (really black) void double-time. Nothing happened for a while so hit "post quick reply" again. Get a message telling me something like I can't post the same thing within three minutes and they're face planting me on the very spot I committed the first offence.
Yeah, right. I scroll up and down the page and nary a word from me there, but 7 pages back from the lead again and no derogatory remarks about dial up. (Seriously unfair, dial up does suck). If I hadn't found myself adrift in subspace so often it would have been a riot. As it was, it was annoyingly extreme hilarity.
The real winners here are us. All of us. 10,000,000+ posts by folks from all over the world just trying to help each other off cancer sticks. This is a truly amazing place. From Big Wigs to Noobs, I salute you all. I've seen cultural, language and political barriers overcome here to help one another in a common goal; break free of enhanced tobacco products and live a longer, healthier, happier life. Many gain a new hobby as an added bonus and thats always good for an extended, fulfilled life.
I'm sorry but it just blows my tiny mind that so many cross-sections of the world can willingly come together independently, under no duress, and make such a huge impact on other individuals with nothing more than a desire to learn, teach and share.
Not one of us asked for 7,000+ chemicals in our cigarettes. I dont think I could name five of them and your local politician (left or right) probably couldnt name three. ECF has done what many in the world wished they could do, and spent millions trying to accomplish, and failed.
I could not have quit smoking without ecigs. I tried everything. Everything. I was strong enough to be a firefighter, I was strong enough to save your loved ones, strong enough to save your livelihoods, strong enough to face death, but not strong enough to save myself alone.
So, long story short here at the end, this is a heartfelt love letter to all of you that have taken the time and effort to make enough of a difference in somebodys life to encourage them to quit doing something that will eventually not only kill them, but send their survivors into financial ruin. The initial noob question may seem trivial and stupid, but somebody always makes an effort. Good on all of you with your selfless advice and knowledge, youre saving more lives with words than I care to try to compare to in other, well, current events. I congratulate the winner whole-heartedly and honor all of you with deepest gratitude. This place rocks because of all of you.
Off my soapbox now. Have a great day!
bumping an awesome post
My sediments exactly
a Query of the database will tell them... they can even write the query to exclude posts in the sections that don't count for post count... It would be pretty simple.

I believe that some wise sole/soul was also trying in some way to bless our registered vendors in the way the 'prize' is offered. (I concure/agree!!) nuf said...

I would love to hear that ^^^^^^^this ^^^^^^^^ is the 10 millionth post.
If'n you really want to get technical about it, the 10 millionth post was over 191,205 posts ago.
So does that mean we have a winner some where? If so lucky person, if not fingers crossed
