Re: phpBB 2.2 - Guess the Release Date Competition
Resubmitted the same date I'd originally guessed in the comments of this thread, oh so long ago.
Re: phpBB 2.2 - Guess the Release Date Competition
I guessed March 23rd 1 month after my birthday, because they said the beta would be in Late January/early february, so no way there will be a gold release 2 or 3 weeks after so I voted a month later

Re: The new phpBB version - Guess the Release Date Competit
Well heres my guess. Was doing abit of reading on Mars while ago and this is what I came up with.
Well
The name of the month March derives from Mars
Days of the Week
Mars ------------------------------ Tuesday
So there is my theory
Well
The name of the month March derives from Mars
Days of the Week
Celestial Body ------------------- Modern EnglishThe seven-day system we use is based on the ancient astrological notion that the seven known celestial bodies influence what happens on Earth and that each of these celestial bodies controls the first hour of the day named after it. This system was brought into Hellenistic Egypt from Mesopotamia, where astrology had been practiced for millennia and where seven had always been a propitious number. In A.D. 321 the Emperor Constantine the Great grafted this astrological system onto the Roman calendar, made the first day of this new week a day of rest and worship for all, and imposed the following sequence and names to the days of the week. This new Roman system was adopted with modifications throughout most of western Europe: in the Germanic languages, such as Old English, the names of four of the Roman gods were converted into those of the corresponding Germanic gods:
Mars ------------------------------ Tuesday
Release Date: Late March. The last Tuesday its on the 29th of march - But I did something stupid and put 22nd =/.Tuesday
This day was named after the Norse god Tyr. The Romans named this day after their war-god Mars: dies Martis.
So there is my theory
Re: The new phpBB version - Guess the Release Date Competit
Umm, i'm guessing the 11th of feb.
i know it's too soon, but it is the 42nd day of the year...

If I seem rude to you, you most likely deserved it, for I have no patience for dumb people and their pointless, stupid questions.

Re: The new phpBB version - Guess the Release Date Competit
It's water under the bridge now Nippoo, but maybe we'll see the beta by the Mons of March
I think you may be onto something there William, sort of like the Olympus Mons of March. I am hopeful but think we will be fortunate to get the first beta in March sometime, but lots of good progress and commits during the past few weeks; we shall see...William R wrote: The name of the month March derives from Mars

Just bumping this. If you've not enterd, do so!
Small note. Two users that enterd twice with the same IP and name, you've been disqualified; you know who you are. (as per what I said in the first post of this whole topic.)
Minus the disqualfied guesses, there's been 194 guesses covering nearly 180 unique days.
