As of this post there are approximately 2397 members and 17957 posts in this forum. Try to answer these questions...

When will there be 3000 members? Give the date.
When will there by 20000 posts? Give the date.

To make it even harder, try to give the time of day, or even a specific hour it will happen.

to try and guess this answer, you'd have to find out the average number of new users per day, and also the average number of posts for each day. by time one figures that out, your goal would have already been reached. Unless, of course, Zing or one of the administrators can find these numbers out for us...

Just use the starting month of August as the first value. In amount of time that has elapsed since August, that many users and posts were created. It is a simple equation, but you can be a little wrong. To find out what time specifically the board started, check the first post in each section.

Aaaaahhhhh!! Math!!! Nooooo!!! Head...exploding!!! Yaaagh!!!

Very true, Dan. However, as my above seizure explains, that would be too much math. As an uneducated guess, i'd have to say about January 30, around 10:00

150 days... 2397 members... 17957 posts...

<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>Dan does some math, that obviously Nantuko Joe does not like.</span>

I estimate that in 37 days, 17 hours, 31 minutes, and 12 seconds there will be 3000 members.
I estimate that in 17 days, 1 hour, 33 minutes, and 36 seconds there will be 20000 posts.

Hope I wasn't too accurate with my estimations.

ur right: i hate math. also, if you got at least the day correct, you deserve a medal. if you got the whole frigging thing correct, i'd believe you were really a college professor, or a time traveler from the future

uh i think there will be 2000 posts tommorow(if you wanna take me on, anyone could spam so *sticks tongue out*) and i think there will be 3000 members by the next hour hehehe

oO_HoTSauCeOo 01-14-2002 10:05 AM

heh, I can't tell, but I guess in like 2 weeks or something.

Nferno666 01-14-2002 10:12 AM

i would say like an average of 60 posts a day and about 20 new members or so a day
