just over 10K left to the goal as of 6:00 PM my time this afternoon . . .

Which prompts a question....

Would it be possible to gift the prize to another member here? The reason I ask is that a number of us on the board who post regularly are relatively close and can/will easily drive and would be going regardless of winning. However, there are a number of members here who have had very difficult years, health, job, home & family wise who would not likely go unless they were to win, or be gifted the award.

So, regardless of who wins, can the award be gifted to another member by the winner?

+1

Yes..... That would be good info.....

I would also donate to a deserving member...

I was thinking about this, I would gift it to another member. Its about a 40 minute ride for me. And whats the point in staying in a hotel when I can sleep in my own bed?

My favorite guys on this forum are all the ones that live close to PY;)

Great question, Chris!

Hows about it Chris (Casperson)?

I'm excited.

I think regifting to a member is a great idea. Im only 15 min from Py and i would gift it to someone if I won!

I would think gifting it to someone is the kindest thing I've read. There are some people here who are really struggling, unemployed, personal loss, medical fights, etc.

I only enjoy car shows if my car is there. Otherwise, I just spend too much time missing it. If I were to win, Id find another member who would enjoy it. As much as I would love to go, there are others that might NEED a trip like this.

I'm in NC.. Did I win?

I'd most likely donate mine if I were to win, as my health and business obligations will most likely prohibit me from making it anyway.

Still nothing from Steve (dm fan), nor CCass concerning this question . . .

We will not allow the winner to give away the prize because that could involve "selling" it to someone not even a member of the boards.

While I agree that it would be kind, we just have to cover ourselves.

If the winner does not want it, the prize will then go to the runner-up.

Good, cause if i win, keep'n it.
Dont have to feel quilty now :D

But I only travel first class!

Quilty.. Is that all soft and warm and grandmother smelling-like?

Ya, thats it lol.

A very nice gesture. If something like this were to happen, there would be two winners. You'd get the cash, free entry, royal treatment etc etc, and we'd also pick another winner.
We're hoping that anyone that wins and can't make it, will notify us immediately and allow us to pick someone else.

Yuk Yuk...

Very noble gesture,Chris
I think I know who you(should you have won) would donate too

The way the numbers are dwindling I think someone might get this for Christmas.

exactly as planned!!

Here's mine for the day.

This week, fo' sho'!

Would not qualify. :(

There are several who could really use it, I'm not sure I would want the responsibility of making that decision. ;)

Yup!

Only 3300 posts to go as of this post . . .

I would think the same thing. I hope it goes to somebody that needs it cause it can't be gifted!!

P-3000 - as of this post . . .

P-2900 . . .

I bet it goes sometime tomorrow evening.

It'll be in the Friday Post.

. . . and per the rules it won't count?

Im not sure how I feel about these rules of what posts count and what dont. If the winning post isnt something that can be as bennificial to the forum than it doesnt win. And it cant be in certain sections of the forum. Just seems to be too much of a matter of opinion. Just like weather or not blue looks good on a 66 GTO vs red.

Its not my website so I ll keep it to myself, but Im not participating in this. Im just here and thankful that I am. Ive gotten a lot of great stuff off this forum. I just dont agree with post contest. Congrats to who ever the winner is.

It will if you include a PY part number in it. ;)

Now, there's a plan . . .

It seems there is still some confusion about the forums sections and the 2 million posts.
The winning 2 millionth post can be in any section of the PY Forums. All posts in all of the sections add to the site's total posts (which is now approaching 2 million). It's the individual member post counts that only advance when you post in the tech sections.

So the 2 millionth post can possibly be in The Lobby and could possibly be in the Friday post. And we are only going to skip to the 2,000,001st post if the 2,000,000th post is something pointless.

I'm personally expecting it to be something like an online auction snipper fest. Everyone will be sitting there with 2 or more browsers open to the PY Forums. One browser on the main page with the counter that they will refresh as fast as their mouse will click. And the other browser(s) with a pretyped message that would be considered either informative, considerate, heartwarming or entertaining. Once the counter gets down to the last 10, everyone counts to 3 and submits their waiting post(s) and hope they snipped the 2 millionth spot.

I wonder if we can break the current Most Users Ever Online record at the same time we cross the 2 million milestone?

Good luck to everyone
Steve

988 in the last 24 hours - this ends on Friday.

I'm guessing it ends sometime tomorrow afternoon, Chris . . .

Thanks for the clarifications, Steve.

And I'll wager you're correct - most users ever record WILL be broken. Hope your systems can handle the load!

P-2200!

i for one wont be competing for the 2m post since i cant use it,and since i obviously cant be trusted to give it to a person that could use it.ive always thought i was a very honest person but apparently others know me better than i do myself
good luck to the member that does ''win'' it,,its a very generous gift at Christmas time.

Are we there yet?
This ride is take'n 4ever...

You and me both. :o

Countdown clock is below 2000 now, approaching P-1900!

This might just happen sometime today

Just my 02, but I think it would be neater to hide the number when you get real close, like 1000 posts or so. That way it doesn't become a "post eBay" with people posting away and tap-dancing on the "refresh" button to see if they hit the target.

I totally agree with that. Make it a mystery until the 2 millionth is hit.

Not a bad idea at all . . .
