My One Thousand Post Contest

Too bad I missed the deadline for this one.

So, there are 4 members who still have valid guesses (I think). Judging by posts needed and post average, Dustin6 has a pretty good shot of nailing it exactly!

That would be incredible.

April 26, 1986: Chornobyl exploded
November 9, 1989: Fall of the Berlin Wall
August 18, 2017: UltraRant posts 1000th post at CCF.

30 people competing, very nice! Thank you very much for that!

As written, I had unexpected and large struggles from the end of last year with both my private and professional life which meant that I had no time for the hobby, nor for posting here. So some people will get a frown from me for foreseeing that. And a prize, of course.

Now, according to the rules: 3 contestants win a prize, those 3 closest to today. I will pick the winner based on the most creative 1st prize suggestion.

I do believe that YNumismetals Collector with 21 days off, Dustin6 with 35 days off and Parklane64 with 43 days off win.

Now, the most creative suggestion for a first prize by those 3 is without a doubt Parklane64. I think Norwegian surfing still has to be invented, actually... In fact, in 2011 some Brazilians became Norwegian champion. So then you know how bad it is...
Nah, that's not entirely true, we have quite a few good surf spots in Norway, most of them require a thick wetsuit, though. But we don't really have anything specific Norwegian about surfing though. We have one company that makes arctic wetsuits and that's it, I believe.

So that concludes the contest. I'll contact Parklane64, Dustin6 and YNumismetals Collector via PM (or they can contact me if they want!) and find out what I best can do to send a nice prize.

As soon as we agree, I will post a picture of what's to be sent.

once again, thanks a lot for competing!

Wow! I can't believe I won! PM sent, and thanks!

and thanks for the contest. It was fun.

Congrats on 1000. If I were born two months earlier I would have won. (as I chose my birthday to be your 1000th post day and was on the bubble for a prize.

Congrats also to the winners.
