GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Hope's on a post-(removed) tear and is soon to reach 10,000 posts here at GenVibe (joining silverawd26 and ragingfish in that elite group).To celebrate, I'm conducting a contest to see who can guess -- to the nearest minute -- when Hope makes that ten-thousandth post. The winner gets a pair of grafxworks "genvibe.com" decals.Here are the rules (edited 10:11AM CDT 8/7):Send me (ZubenElGenubi) an IM no later than Monday, August 7, 2006, 4:00PM CST.State in the IM the date and time you think trdvibe's 10,000th post will be recorded here at genvibe. Specify the timezone as well (Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific or Universal) so I can record it properly.Only one entry/guess per member.The winner will be the person whose guess is closest to trdvibe's 10,000th posts (before or after).In case of a tie, the winner will be the person who submitted their guess earliest to me.trdvibe, Mavrik, and ZubenElGenubi are excluded from the contest.Note that all times shown are currently in daylight savings time.GOOD LUCK!

hahaha good ithin i can get this one

No offense to anyone, but... Why give even more of an incentive to needlessly increment a number that doesn't mean jack anyway? 10,000 posts: who cares! 5,000 posts: who cares! 1,000 posts: who cares! 1 post: welcome to the site! Tis just a number, this whole post count thing! I just don't understand the need to obsess over it, I've seen good contributions brought forth by people with only a few posts, and I've seen good by people in the thousands - post count doesn't make the member.

true to some i wont mention any names *cough, cough* Mrizzle*cough cough* its just to reach a sertian point or it may mean something to be a god. and to some it nothing but a nussance or they just ignor it. but you are right they are just #'s and they really dont mean a d**n thing. anyways GL to all who participate in this fun little game. * editWOW! im way up there on that tear 100 posts in 7 days wow. i have nooo life

The number doesn't mean a thing, but I put in my guess anyway.

CP, everything you said is true and I'm sorry that you are offended.But this is for FUN. You don't have to play if you don't want to.

You don't want to get caught with high estrogen levels

hey!!! i resent that cause im part french ya know no but really i am part french.

Sad, really.

yea but its all in fun

Quote, originally posted by silverawd26 »Hope is milking it.... I even deleted over 5,000 of my own posts so people could catch up and I am barely on the site anymore and took 4 times as much time off as Hope has...Good luck... TRDVibe, you have to do this all natually, no doping to win! wow. some people are pretty lame. and remember folks, it's not like i spend my time on here ALL day or anything. i usually posting on other sites, not this one. besides, i'm going on vacation for 10 days, plus will still be working from out of state/country. don't be whiners just because i happen to be an active member.... if all the other active members were gone, this place would be boring and dead. sure, it's just a number. who honestly cares?? however, for some people that TAKE OFFENSE at it, well.... too bad cause i don't care either! LOL and Zuben, don't worry... i'm not offended by any means. just annoyed at the anti-posting members. if people don't care about the number, then why do they make such a big deal about it?? cause frankly, my darling, i don't give a damn!

Quote, originally posted by damronjr »Sad, really. and this is coming from someone who is averaging 4.21 posts per day?? right. i find it extremely ironic how the people who say it's only a number and we shouldn't encourage POSTING (participation) have quite a high posting number and average post count themselves. i'm close to 10K and i'm sure i'll hit it soon.... however, it's not a high priority for me, so..... it may be this month, this week, next week, next month, who knows? i'm going on vacation!

trd will get there a long time before i get to 200.. LOL

lol, this sounds fun. What the heck, I'm in! I've been wanting a few Genvibe.com stickers lately anyways.

Bump..remember, the deadline for submissions is Monday, August 7, 2006, 4:00PM CST

I remember when she first made genvibe goddessI submitted my entry, as a celebration of her upcoming post count milestone.

Why not, it is all for fun.

yes, it's all for fun. so, let's not make it anything less.

Bump...two hours left to enter!

SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED!Good Luck to the entrants. I will announce the winner in this thread after confirming trdvibe's 10,000th post.

cool can you tell us how many voted in this?? if not then its cool.

Quote, originally posted by NascarXprt »cool can you tell us how many voted in this?? if not then its cool.Sure. Ten members have submitted guesses.

HEY!you started the contest on a sunday and closed it on a holiday monday?!?!(removed)? what about those of us that mostly log on from work? we were never given a chance...which could explain why there are only 10 people on the list....none of them canadian.

The US didn't celebrate the Canadian Civic Holiday.

haha this should be for fun, no ripping on people needed. i give congrats to Hope and she has been so active on this site and has helped MANY members out with questions and such. I only dream of having that many posts

Quote, originally posted by Atomb »what about those of us that mostly log on from work? we were never given a chance...which could explain why there are only 10 people on the list....none of them canadian.I'm sorry about that; I'm farther from the US/Canadian border than about 90% of the members here. I didn't even know there was a holiday.

Dang I'm out. lol Way off!

Quote, originally posted by tcam »Dang I'm out. lol Way off!Yea, looks like I will be out also. I should have taken better care of noticing when she was taking trips, which she had mentioned on other posts.

Quote, originally posted by silverawd26 »Hope, I have never ripped on you for your posts, you know that.. I was only teasing you.... Just remember, I love you too babe! ya sorry.... feeling a little stressed with working and vacationing and still working from far away and dealing with customers, employees, and now the fun traveling issues with stupid freaking terrorists and AIRPLANES!! yep, and there was a civic holiday in Canada because i guess they voted they didn't get a long weekend in the month of August! LOL. i'd go nuts if i working in Canada..... too many holidays for this work addict!

I may need to move to Canada. I need more Holidays

It's like in quantum mechanics, observing the phenomenon affects it, It's likley that if there had been no "contest" the milestone would have already passed, but the mere existence of the contest has affected the result in unpredictable ways.

congrats SSW and Hope for reaching her 10000th post.

dont encourage her.... SHEEESH!congrats SSW... free genvibe stickers. you better REPRESENT... "VIBE in do haus" Yeah!

Congrats to SSW! Congrats to Hope for reaching a milestone!

DUDE THAT IS AWESOME!!! I wasnt expecting to win wow and only off by 20 minutes how awesome is that!!! Well sry i didnt log on yesterday i woke up all late then went to work then went to celebrate 2 of my buddys birthdays! by smoking Hookah its awesome lol Well congrats Hope on the 10000th post cause wow that is alot of posts and thanx everyone it was fun but i came out victorious lol j/p p.s. I think she should have her own thing man you know like how you have GenVibe God she should be like something more cooler lol think GenVibe MASTER or something like that lol

holy crap! you were only off by 20 mins?? nice guess! Seriously, i've been extremely busy since we've been back so it's only been a little here and there and finally got to sit down last night, upload some pics and post them. Sorry, Arcsvibe, still have to edit the vid of the drive back in Montreal, but hopefully i'll get that one done this week sometime. and no, i am NOT a genvibe MASTER. that would be silverawd as he is the ULTIMATE genvibe god. he's like zues! LOL and Raging is like.... Neptune? I dunno ... maybe i'm like Athena cause i'm goddess of smart (removed)... or something like that. j/kwe already have genvibe.com decals... actually, i don't think Mav does. may have to remedy that ourselves.

I vote for GenVibe Jedi...That would be: ragingfish, silverawd26, trdvibeall GenVibe Jedi...very elusive, tough to get. You can't "lack discipline"

anything "Star Wars" related i have my reasons. comparisons to Greek or Norse mythology, no problem, however.... Star Wars and Star Trek, etc... no thanks. LOL.

alright Hope! For a while there I was nervous it wasn't ever going to get passed. jkThat's pretty funny that SSW was only 20 minutes off. lol

LOL, I remember when all this was going on, I wasn't a part of it though I was just curious, what are the standards or numbers it takes to reach the different levels of Vibeness?

1000 post gets you genvibe god... after that i guess its a MOD but you have to take that up... well with the MODS haha!

Thanks, I wasn't sure, cause I thought I saw some people that had less than 1000, and were Gods, and a few that had over 1000 that were Members..... but I could be wrong (I usually am, lol)

after my 1000 my title automatically changed.. and i think you can change it in your settings, not sure though

nope you cant change it in you settings. and it should automatcily change after you post your 1000th post.
