As a bear who has spent covid as if preparing for hibernation, I most certainly have his arse...  but it's quite stealthily hidden and hopefully will re-emerge one day 😉

Just as a bit of a teaser… some of the new swag has started coming in…. 

Below is one of the stainless steel vacuum water bottles with the logo etched by a laser. 

I have the water bottles as well as hard bound notebooks with pens.

Time to make my official guess! I'll go with May 26. 

[RadioRob]

Alrighty....  unlocked the topic so that people can talk about this more as we get closer.  All of the guesses above are the only ones that will be considered for purposes of determining the prize winner, but feel free to keep guessing and to talk about it!

Also the notebooks have come in as well and they turned out great.  I'll post some pictures later.  

In a little over a month, we've had around 11.5K posts made.  So it's possible we may actually come close to hitting our 2M post mark on the anniversary of our first 1M posts as well.  It's amazing that is even possible!

[RadioRob]

Below are a couple of the notebooks!

Posting has slowed down quite a bit all of a sudden. We were on pace to hit it around my guess of May 26 as lately as a week ago but it's gonna take until June now for sure. I wonder if posting typically slows down once the weather gets nicer and there are more things to do.

Naw, we're just tryin' to sabotage your guess.

A lot of that traffic was from the Legacy Gallery where each individual image was shared as an individual post.  When removing that traffic (which is shifting into the new gallery), traffic is down about 2-3% versus last quarter.  It’s still up versus where it was at this time last year…. But given that we were still salvaging the site from Daddy’s server and dealing with redirects it’s most likely not a good comparison to look at YoY data just yet.  

[keefer]

Though too late to submit a revised estimate, it's starting to look like @Rand or @JoeMendoza will be correct with 7th June estimate, though @JoeMendoza is likely to be a few hours off...

 

[BuffaloKyle]

I think @Lucky will get it with his June 1 guess. Because even if it's June 2 or 3 it's whoever is closest no matter if the date has passed @RadioRob?

[RadioRob]

The rules simply say who was closest.  (Apparently I was not thinking about "Price is Right" style of being closest without going over.)

The day is approaching. I’m so excited who’s going to win!
