Forum Game The Road To 1M Members

[SamanthaSamantha's icon]

Given that the forum's booming in both registrations and activity, I think it'd be fun to "bet" on when the biggest milestone of them all will be hit.

To play, just tell us the exact day when you think RGT will join the - exclusive - 1MMC — The One Million Member Club.

The user with the closest guess will be picked as the winner after the counter rolls up to those glorious seven digits.

My guess is... July 21st.

September 17th

Question, why is there half as many messages as there is posts? Do most people just lurk, or have accounts for the repo?

I don't think many people are aware of the forums or are just not interested in using them.

Still, that's true for any site — most people join without ever doing anything, and that's fine.

Yeah, figured as much. Because as of right now, there are nearly 1 million people and about 500k messages, meaning that at the bare minimum, only about 500k people have posted. But, you quickly start to recognize the same few people around here, and many people have thousands of messages. I wonder how many people on here have actually made a post.

Damn, now I need a "Joined in the past 24 hours" statistic. Looks like my September guess is going to be pretty far off, lol.

 

[JustLooking123]

Well, actually, my calculated guess is 16th July!
But i gave it two extra days as margin error!

There's a pretty encouraging graph I'm not allowed to share that shows an uptick in both registrations and activity.

If there are 300 new users join everyday, probably in around 10 days, assuming there's upward trends I pick 24 July

Wait it's not 300 in a day but 2 hours! So probably in few days, I pick 17 July then

 

[ArchienineZXAdventArchienineZXAdvent's icon]

Maybe in the end of the month, so i guess 30th july

Right? It's beautiful!

The Samyte Army should rise gloriously!

Sorry.

They heard that the site features me and couldn't resist >:D

 

[Mahopon]

The increase in number is slower than I expect, then I realize it's 30k until 1m not 3k, so my calculation is off by 1 digit

My first guess is right for the wrong reason

5th September

20K to go!

 

[SamanthaSamantha's icon]

20K to go!

Scary xD

 

[Mahopon]

998k, only 2k to go! We probably reach it today!
