Holy. Sh!t.
OK FOLKS... GET READY FOR THIS.... I JUST GOT THE OFFICIAL RESULTS BACK FROM OUR TECH TEAM.......
AND....
WE'RE NOT AT 10 MILLION YET!!!!! You're still all in it to win!
Here's the deal. We already announced a FIRST winner in our CrackBerry passing 10 Million Posts contest.
That was this post:

This post is literally the 10 millionth post that was made through our forums content management system. It's the post that is assigned the number 10 million in the database. However, that post was made months ago, before we even started this thread.
As we realized only now while running this, the reason for this discrepancy is that the "post counter" on the homepage of the forums was excluding posts that were deleted in the past for spam, etc. So this 10 million posts "made to the database" was achieved a while back.
In reality, what we should be aiming for is TEN MILLION PUBLIC POSTS.
So here's the current status of the numbers as of a few minutes ago.
Number of posts in public forums: 9,449,233
Number of posts in all forums, including our private admin forums (excluding the Reports & Infractions, AE Detector, and Ban Tracker): 9,988,638
Number of post in all forums (all public and all private): 10,031,428
Now to me, the spirit of this content is about 10 million posts in our PUBLIC forums. Which means based on the numbers above, we're still probably a four or five months away from hitting it (we average just over 100k forum posts her month).
So.... here's what's going to happen:
1) I'm going to have our tech team hopefully hack the counter to reflect public posts (hoping they can do that - if not, the numbers will just keep counting and we'll do monthly updates to let everybody know where we're at)
2) We're going to keep this event running. We'll still honor the prize stated before for the 10 millionth post to the database, but we're going to run a BIGGER prize for the real 10 millionth public post (new BB10 phone of choice + cb swag pack and trophy)
Ok. I'll let you all digest that. CRAZINESS.
Good luck!
