If you haven't noticed, the Cox Engine Forum has passed a milestone!
To celebrate this milestone, Jason Birnschein (Jason_WI) has put together a special labyrinth prize puzzle box for the member who made the 200,000th post! We watched closely for the moment the post count rolled over to 200,000, and that post occurred almost exactly two weeks ago on the 16th of August.
You're only hearing about this now thanks to by packed schedule over the past two weeks, and the desire to include some final details with the prize.
What was the 200,000th post and who made it? Well, have a look for yourself: https://www.coxengineforum.com/t15412-solvedmost-efficent-glowhead-clip-for-norvel-engine#200922
The winner has been contacted!
Once again, Jason has really outdone himself on another really cool forum prize!
What's in it?
That's up to the winner to find out and hopefully share about! 
Just for the record, this wasn't the first time we've celebrated a post count milestone:
100,000th post: https://www.coxengineforum.com/t7962-100000th-post
150,000th post: https://www.coxengineforum.com/t11824-150000-posts

Aaargh! I missed it by, what, one post? OK, enough self-pity. 
There was quite a bit of traffic here that day,.so 199,999 could have been one of the other threads too.
Good for you, Phil. Congrats!

Close but no cigar.
I actually thought it was you and PM’d Jacob but he corrected me.
So far no contact from the winner.
The labyrinth puzzle box isn’t too hard to open.

Nothing like a relative old-timer (2016-02-28) with only 15 posts to sweep in and clean our clocks. 
Congratulations fargophil

Congrats Fargophil.
While on the subject, that puzzle box does really have me intrigued! Looks very interesting for sure, not what is on the inside, but the puzzle as well. Ok, the inside too.

Not that I know of.
I hope he doesn't think it's a PM scam like we've got a couple times some weeks back.

With 15 posts in 5 yrs my guess is he logs in very infrequently.

My PM I sent him 2 days ago has gone unread. Give it a week then flip a coin for 199,999 or 200,001.

My message I sent him was read but no reply. Not sure if you want to flip that coin or wait some more.

Not that I want the gift/prize...just mildly curious based on how many posts were around 200,000. Was I 199,999, or 200,001? Or who was just on either side of the magic moment?
Coming here and sharing is all the prize I need. I am proud of how the members behave here. Give and take, chuckles galore, mild ribbing between the jesters. But never smear tactics, anti-grou/person attacks, or any other anti-social behavior. All of you guys are swell in my book!

Seems to me if he was interested, then he would have responded immediately or at least by now.
Your and Jacob’s call though.

If the winner doesn't step forward, I would love to see Jim get it, Jim's a worthy contributer here.
My vote would be for 200,001

I agree with Bob , i even sent him a PM letting him know with no return so far ! I think Jim was on both sides of the winning post from what i seen . Pulling from the winning post at the top i guess goes straight to the one .

My Vote for Jim Also.
Along with bracketing the 200,000 mark, his postings have been numerous and interesting.

It's too bad he hasn't responded.
This was the list I made when I traced the posts.
Marleysky 21:48 ----- 10
prostreet 21:23 ----- 09
rdw777 20:49 ----- 08
andrew 20:34 ----- 07
dckrsn 19:59 ----- 06
Ken Cook 19:37 ----- 05
NEW222 19:12 ----- 04
NEW222 19:04 ----- 03
NEW222 19:01 ----- 02
944_Jim 17:44 ----- 01
fargophil 17:33 ----- 00
FlipStart 17:30 ----- 99
944_Jim 17:29 ----- 98
944_Jim 17:19 ----- 97
rsv1cox 17:14 ----- 96
944_Jim 17:06 ------ 95
944_Jim 16:46 ----- 94
944_Jim 15:54 ----- 93
So it's between FlipStart at 199,999 and 944_Jim 200,001
This was the list I made when I traced the posts.
Marleysky 21:48 ----- 10
prostreet 21:23 ----- 09

Ken Cook 19:37 ----- 05
NEW222 19:12 ----- 04
NEW222 19:04 ----- 03
NEW222 19:01 ----- 02
944_Jim 17:44 ----- 01
fargophil 17:33 ----- 00
FlipStart 17:30 ----- 99
944_Jim 17:29 ----- 98

944_Jim 17:06 ------ 95
944_Jim 16:46 ----- 94
944_Jim 15:54 ----- 93
So it's between FlipStart at 199,999 and 944_Jim 200,001

Not sure if contribution or post count matters. It was originally set up for whomever made the 200K post regardless of how prolific of a poster. That may be why Fargo Phil hasn’t reached out. Whatever Jacob decides to do will be fair for everyone I am sure.
The real fun is watching and waiting for the recipient to open the puzzle to see what is inside.

I agree Ron.
I’d like to suggest either a coin toss between the two closest (Jim and FlipStart) or a draw where everyone who posted that day would be eligible. I don’t think I posted that day, so I have nothing in this, just my
worth
