(you probably didn't think anyone would notice)
haha, i didn't know what you were talking about. I thought maybe I was 5 posts away from 2,000. :smiley3: What can I say? I'm a talker.
Well, only 4 more now. You better make it special!
I remember when I reached 666, i tried to go as long as I could without talking.

...and all you old timers... NO HINTS!

Congratulations - You got a 5'er - but the date I was talking about was 8/24/07 - that's a little harder.Quote:

Somehow I feel I know the answer to that second part :smiley2:
Shelby, I misread the "joined the board AFTER 5/24/07" part...
I edit my response so someone else could get it if you wanted. Might be too late. Sorry about that.
Oops - Sorry - You gave it away, but you weren't elegible. I just checked your join date and it was BEFORE 8/25/07. You joined on 11-14-2006Quote:

No problem... start working on the second part and you might still win.Quote:

True... all true... especially the part about Shelby rocks! :smiley4:Quote:

ok - here's a hint... once you figure it out it should make perfect sense why I chose that date.
...now that may not seem like much of a hint, but if you work my logic backwards it will help.
Here's another one...
When you're trying to figure this out, don't try to directly come up with the date, instead try to figure out how I came up with it... i.e., how would you determine a specific cut-off date if you were running the contest?
I figured that part out already trying to see how that relates to 8/24/07 :smiley21:Quote:

It has something to do with a post that Chris made on 5/24/07.
...and beware... this hint is a bit more cryptic than you might realize
Is 8/24/07 an anniversary of your divorce date ?
...oops - I meant 8/23/07 - forgot that I gave myself a day's buffer.
Nope - it has nothing to do with anything I did...Quote:

OK - wait a minute -- somewhere along the way we jumped from May to August....
The cutoff date for the contest was May 24th - one day after May 23rd.
chris admitted his love for justin timberlake?

Now, here's where we are. The first part of this contest was open to folks who joined the board after 5/24/07. The question was inadvertantly answered by someone who was active BEFORE that, which disqualified them. So, we moved to the second part of the question, which was, why did I pick the cut-off date of May 24th. It had something to do with a post made by "Chris" on the day before that.
I'm gonna give it to someone here.
Anyone who was a member before the 24th of MAY had a better chance of knowing what the significance of "1817" was. Anybody who joined after that date may not have.
Why???
was it the first time chris mentioned it on here?
Ok I will be silly and try one more time. It was the last time Chris mentioned his band 1817 :smiley9:
that makes more sence.Quote:

OK Dan... I'm gonna send you a nice 10 pack. You deserve it! Congratulations.
ahhhh... makes sense now.
Grats Dan!
Thanks Mark.
Actually now to think about it we haven't heard much about Chris' band in a while. How about an update and maybe a link to some songs if possible :smiley20:
Chris - you need to make a music video for youtube.
As of right now we're replacing two members who recently left. We've got the replacements, just trying to get settled in.Quote:
