Members as of now, 10:05 on 28th December, 2011: 149,209

Only 791 to go!

So Nyssa has lost. The question is, how quickly wil the sign-up rate drop back to pre-Christmas levels?

I'm being really dense here, but I can't find where to change my time-zone settings. At the bottom of the Edit Your Details screen it is telling me that my time-zone is GMT+1, and that the time is an hour ahead of the correct time, but I can't see how to change that. Is it possible?

Orlok, hope this is what you are looking for:

User CP > Edit Options (under Settings and Options)
> Date & Time Options (4th big box down on page)
> Time Zone

There is also a DST correction option there, this may be relevant to your 1 hour variance.

Thanks - how did I miss that?

All better now

I am going to predict Feb 29, 2012.

WT Sharpe · 12-28-2011, 10:58 PM

That gap is closing fast. As of this writing, only 549 members to go.

pdurrant · 12-29-2011, 03:46 AM

Members as of now, 08:46 on 29th December, 2011: 149,495

Only 505 to go!

Hamlet43 has lost.

red_phoenix · 12-29-2011, 08:10 AM

Based on pdurrant’s updates on the total number of members there has been, on average, 202 new members per day.

At this rate MR will reach 150,000 members in approximately 2 days, or December 31, 2011. What a way to end this year or start a new year.

tilia · 12-29-2011, 12:04 PM

149,574 members, and seven hours left of 29th desember(GMT). I think I'm going to lose

WT Sharpe · 12-29-2011, 12:21 PM

I won't. When we get within 25 members of the goal, I'll just start banning everyone who joins between then and January 6th.

I'd say 80% or more of the users are no regulars!
Time for cleaning?

In which case, I'd say 12/2014 (the end of the world or something...) :-)

Agree. I personally count for two members because I lost the password and email access of my original account.

I suggest a more meaningful landmark of active members.

It's late in the day to revise the rules.

orlok · 12-29-2011, 12:34 PM

And I'm not sure how you would accurately indentify active users. And what constitutes "active"? Once a day, a week, a month, every 6 months...
