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

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!
