[FREE STUFF] Three-quarters of a million served...

[The Sigil]

Hi, all... as you may (or may not) know, ENWorld is rapidly approaching three-quarters of a million posts on the new boards.

"What does this mean for me? " you might ask.

Glad you did.

Just because I can, I am going to send a free copy of both of my PDF works, the Enchiridion of Mystic Music and the Enchiridion of Treasures and Objects d'Art, to whomever makes the 750,000th post here on ENWorld.

I expect it will happen within the next hour or two (EDIT: This is post 749,037) so better get your posts in soon... maybe on the Hivemind thread or something. (There, see, I'm not totally antagonistic towards the Hivemind).

Consider it my little expression of joy in line with Mardi Gras. Just don't throw me any beads.

You get beads for any reasons.

But that's a lot of posts and lots of ideas and help given.

According to the main page we aren't that far ahead!

Members: 10,193, Threads: 42,454, Posts: 683,986

I realise its different for Post IDs, though...

 

[The Sigil]

True. I am going by post ID - I imagine the discrepency comes from deleted threads (e.g., some of the older and larger Hivemind threads).

That said, even if they're no longer around, I'll "count them" for purposes of the Free Stuff promotion.

So yes, I'm basing this on post ID.

Does it have to be a useful post, or can I wait until I see post 749,999 and then post something like 'hi'? Because I reckon I could stay up all night loading up the page with post 749,999 until it says it exists...

Dumb question of the minute: Where is this post ID total shown?

 

[Sixchan]

It's there when you post. It says 'postid=######' in the URL.

Ah, gotcha. Looks like it's there when you post with a quote; if you just hit "Post Reply", it doesn't show up.

Thanks.

Well, you run the risk that someone else hits "post" between the time you hit "refresh" and "post new message - hi - submit".

If you really want free stuff with an MSRP of just over $20 badly enough to do that, though, that's your business - and you're welcome to go for it. I didn't say in my first post that it had to be USEFUL, no fair changing the rules mid-stream.

Or "edit" your post. Shows up there, too.
