How long will it take to count down to zero from 50,000?
Each post counts as one number. So the number of replies plus the number last posted in a topic should be equal to 50,000.
Please limit posting sessionsto no more than 50 posts at a time as indicated below to give others a chance, but multiple daily posting sessions are welcome and encouraged.
Please end posting sessions with 3 dots (...) so others don't interrupt.
Please correct the count if it gets off, counting each post made as 1, regardless of content. Please be considerate.
Let's go!
Current posting limit: Up to 10 posts per session, limit total of 2 full sessions/day, but they can be done in 4 sets of 5 or any combo that doesn't exceed 20 total posts.
1.The maximum time any single posting session may last is 20 minutes. The overall 50 post/session limit also applies. Also, if the topic remains dormant for more than one minute between posts, the 3 dots may be "presumed" by another participant and, if another participant starts to post, the previous session is terminated. Just put a note in the post that "The previous session has terminated under the 1 minute rule." The exception will be when someone is legitimately searching for an error and puts up a note to that effect.
2.Yield to anyone who has posted fewer "full" sessions than you have during a day. Number of full sessions = posts for the day/session limit. Days begin and end at midnight eastern standard time. This is aimed at minimizing the impact of group posting that tends to freeze out others.
3. Post/Edit your total posts for the day so far after your last post in a posting session.
4. Personal attacks against other participants are not permitted in the topic. If you have something to say to another participant, be big enough to say it directly, in a civil manner.
Also, because of the high activity in the topic, additional special rules will be issued soon for the final 1,000 posts to get to the zero.

Under 100 posting limit:
From 99 down to 20, the limit will be 5 posts/day.
No more than one minute is permitted between posts or the session may be considered terminated without the ... being posted.
Under 20 posting limit:
The final 20 posts in the countdown are limited to 1 per day.
The following additional rules have been added to GBR's 50K Countdown{
1.

3. Post/Edit your total posts for the day so far after your last post in a posting session.
4. Personal attacks against other participants are not permitted in the topic. If you have something to say to another participant, be big enough to say it directly, in a civil manner.
I am prepared to reset the count if there is abuse of the topic or it's participants.
Polite, civil discussion of these rules or any suggestions is welcome below. If addition changes are needed or desired, this post will be edited and a copy of the old lead post will be posted in the topic.
