Warning From Your Forum Watchdog - In 14 Days...

In 14 days I'll disclose an event, of which the world will likely never fully recover.

This "event" is like no other ever experienced by mankind.

I can't go into details now, but this time I'm serious.
I promise.

Mark the date now, so you'll know when the time has arrived.


14 days.
One question and one question only.

PM me with what you think the event is.

Your deadline is the 13th.

You realize the problem with this, don't you? You're going to have as many winners as people who give the most popular response.

Nothing wrong with large numbers of very stupid people. Not a real problem either, as there's no subsequent round to this special IWS.
