Have tests been done to ensure the forum doesn’t explode if it hots 1000000 posts?

Millenium bug style

It’d be outstanding if it was..

I dunno. Many sleepless nights let me tell you

wouldn’t it be weird if the post was in this thread..

I don’t know why I’d be surprised.. there’ll probably be a flurry from a few posers to see who will get it and the post will be something like ‘mine’ or something equally benign (as history dictates)

Yes there was.
I was going to donate a Pert/London return flight on the Dreamliner however CB88 pointed me to the very first line in the Forum Mission Statement and I quote “The Holiday Forum is not about going on holidays” so I’ve had to withdraw the offer.
However the winner will be placed in a drawer.

If there are two winners will they be placed in a pair of drawers?

I’ve never actually looked at post counts despite all the BS that’s been suggested.

In other words, I don’t give a shit.

999,999 ———> 1,000,000 change hands, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc

Unfortunately for places far from my current location, one problem would be the actual move. I can’t afford a removalist so presumably the plan will be that my bro-in-law will drive one of those little hire trucks. That was enough to get me here from Hobart in the last move, with everything crammed very tightly into the truck and excess taken by the sister in the car etc.

But it will need two trips this time because I’ve bought quite a lot more furniture since moving here. Thus if I can find a reasonably local place it will make life much easier for the move.

oops
