Predict the date: 200,000 members - Page 15

vivaldirules · 02-28-2013, 08:25 PM

105 to go. So maybe tomorrow about this time? How long have we been anticipating this moment? Seems like a long time acomin'. A loooong time.

pdurrant · 03-01-2013, 12:01 AM

199,915 now. It looks like we're going to hit 200,000 on the third of March.

Wow. We've been really bad at predicting this! (Well, except for shenye, who guessed 28th February. Well done Shenye!)

pdurrant · 03-01-2013, 03:16 AM

199,930

pdurrant · 03-01-2013, 03:20 AM

Over the past couple of days we've been adding 4.6 members per hour. That would mean that we should hit 200,000 around 11:30PM GMT tonight.

But perhaps the last couple of days has been a blip. We shall see!

Next one gets member number 200.000!

That's likely the problem. People joining half-heartedly. Or 0.6 heartedly.

199,960 Only 40 to go, that's about 8 to 10 hours.

I've update the chart. There's definitely been a slight increase in the number of new members since about the middle of February.

My son, in the back seat: Are we there yet?

pdurrant · 03-01-2013, 03:36 PM

199,990 at the moment. Ten to go!

Bilbo1967 · 03-01-2013, 03:41 PM

Looks like we need a DoS attack to prevent JSWolf winning.

It's almost worth it!

pdurrant · 03-01-2013, 03:54 PM

199,993

Seven to go.

I was very close. 4pm was my cutoff. Without having to read back, does anyone have anything closer?

Paul has summarised all the guesses in the first post of this thread. Yours is the earliest guess.

pdurrant · 03-01-2013, 06:23 PM

200,007. Augh... I missed spotting our 200,000th member.

However, angrymonkey is our 200,007th member, and has user number 200060, so our 200,000th member has user number 200053, and is glos

glos has posted an introductory post here. Go and say hi.

No-one guessed the right time, but JSWolf was closest, and is our winner of this section of the contest.

Congratulations, JSWolf!
