Hey Chefchris...

5 more posts!

(you probably didn't think anyone would notice)

**chefchris** · 10-11-2007, 10:41 AM

haha, i didn't know what you were talking about. I thought maybe I was 5 posts away from 2,000.

What can I say? I'm a talker.

**Shelby07** · 10-11-2007, 10:42 AM

Well, only 4 more now. You better make it special!

**chefchris** · 10-11-2007, 10:46 AM

I remember when I reached 666, i tried to go as long as I could without talking.

And that was back in January!

OK - The first person who can tell me what we're talking about who joined the board AFTER 5/24/07 (i.e.5/25/07 or later) will get a 5'er from me.

And if you can tell me the significance of the date I'll send you another 5'er.

...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.

I think I'll open up the second part of the contest to everyone!

**CgarDan** · 10-11-2007, 11:16 AM

Somehow I feel I know the answer to that second part

**derivation** · 10-11-2007, 11:17 AM

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 11-14-2006

Sooo... We will roll the entire prize over to the person who can give me the significance of the date - 8/24/07. This one will take a little research. And it's open to everyone.

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

True... all true... especially the part about Shelby rocks!

but not the answer I'm looking for. The answer I'm looking for can be found on the board... and it isn't obvious.

**Shelby07** · 10-11-2007, 11:52 AM

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.

**Shelby07** · 10-11-2007, 12:19 PM

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

It is definitely relevant.

**Shelby07** · 10-11-2007, 12:50 PM

OK - This may give it away...

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
