We're almost at 35,000 posts already!

What will the winner receive? A library? An action hero? (I'm running out of prizes). http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Good luck!

How about a small house on Orcas so the winner can be the first person to get any new products or updates that come out. I think around 3500 ft.sq. ought to do the trick. :D

WOW - it seems just like yesterday 27,000 was around the corner. These milestones are happening with a lot more frequency, no? That is good. It means more people are coming here and are finding it a nice place to visit and get help and share wonderful music.

I'm trying to remember which milestone was around when I first came here.... Either way, I'm loving all these new people that are coming around.

[tgfoo]

[SeanHannifin]

I made a post in another thread carefully timed to be post 35,000 . . . I've mastered the art!

[ixm]

A bunch of people all posted at around 10:13 PST, myself included in another thread. How is the winner determined. Good luck ;)

[Joseph Burrell]

I'm thinking Sean but Gary can tell for sure.

[Garritan]

Sean won again!!!http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gifhttp://www.northernsounds.com/forum/images/smilies/redface.gifhttp://www.northernsounds.com/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif Congrats!

[SeanHannifin]

Good deal, I don't really need stuff and he's a student!!

It's just fun to play :D

[Elfen]

who was 34 999 and 35 001?

[ixm]

Garry just wondering which one was I. Was I 34999?

[Joseph Burrell]

Fred you were 35,001 I think. ixm was very close as well.

[SeanHannifin]

Sean must have bots that automatically post.
No, I wouldn't be that mean!

[tgfoo]

Wow... twice in a row. Going for the threepeat at 36,000? :p :D

[SeanHannifin]

Whenever I see it's close to a thousandth post, I really can't resist. A lot of luck, for sure.

[SeanHannifin]

Actually, last time I didn't even realize I won until I came back from a class I ended up being late for because I was trying to win . . . :D

[tgfoo]

You should write a book (or maybe just start a thread) about how to become the xx,0000th poster. You've got it down pretty good. :D ;)

[SeanHannifin]

Here are some tips . . . :D

1) Spamming is always an option, but if there are several people spamming along with you, it's all up to luck. I tried to win a few times and failed before my first win came, which was 24,000, which was over the summer I believe. This time it looked like a couple of people were spamming in various threads. Also, you've got to wait 60 seconds between each post, so look at a watch or a clock for maximum effeciency.

2) Open several windows, of course. Have one window show the main Northern Sounds forum page, which will show how many posts are in the 'Garritan Orchestral Libraries' sub-forum. The refresh button is your friend, hit it often to see when and if new posts have come up.

3) In another window, prepare your winning post. You can only really prepare one or two, because you do have that 60 second time restriction.

4) Wait for the post count to get close to the thousandth, and post away at about xx,997 or xx,998 or xx,999! It also depends on how many people are online trying to win at the same time, so you may even have to post away sooner. Again, hit that refresh button quickly to see if you won! Sometimes you might not be able to tell. Waiting can be hard, because there are most likely others waiting with you. You very well could be trapped in a stalemate, and one of you will have to be brave enough to start posting spam but sacrafice the chance of winning. It's all up to you . . .

5) Pray! After all, it's all about luck!

Happy posting and good luck! :D Now please listen to my symphony and tell me what you think! :D

Boy, I could use a copy of that one that you copied from that guy on the developing commitee that gave everyone a copy of the copy you made last month of the udateted copy of the software you got stuck in the hardware of your jeep's left fender on the way to see your version of the uploaded copy of the library of hair samples from the extracted vile of culenary delight which Emralde copied for a version of 5.0 then to copy some software and called it gigawiga Ia noa havea thata onea givea toa mea nowa! :D


I won't even bother to spell check this one. You're on your own. :D

[CString]

CString,

would this cabin on Orcas do?

http://www.celebratebig.com/roadsideattractions/studio420building.jpg LOL. Looks more like 35ft.sq. than 3500 but it does have a cathedral ceiling!
