The Official Ric Olie 30,000 OT.com Posts Countdown Thread
Time

I plotted the data from the last two months and found a linear trendline. With May 26 being '0' and counting the days thereafter,

y = -10.866x + 2873.3

where x = # of days after May 26 and y = number of posts needed to hit 30k.

Therefore, setting y = 0 results in:

x = 264.4

Frink will hit 30,000 posts on February 14, 2014.

Star Wars: Episode VII to be directed by J.J. Abrams **NON SPOILER THREAD**
Time

Take this with a mountain of salt.

In a marginally related story, Star Wars: Episode VII may need a new director.  Badass Digest is hearing rumors from multiple sources that Abrams is close to dropping out of the highly anticipated sequel.  Abrams protested against shooting the movie in England (presumably because he didn’t want to be away from his family for so long), but was overruled by the studio.  Although this decision wasn’t recent, the rumors of his leaving the project continue to percolate.  Badass says these rumors will merit more serious consideration if there’s no announcement of any kind at Germany’s Star Wars celebration regarding Episode VII and Abrams isn’t present.  It’s worth noting that if Abrams chooses to leave Episode VII, that doesn’t mean he’s automatically going back to Trek.  He’s a highly in-demand director, and I’d expect he would have a wide variety of projects to choose from should he leave Star Wars.
