OK, when do you think we'll hit 500,000 posts? I'll throw out an educated guess and say May 24.

Depends on how long Alyrium and I are at each others throats. Its only a few hundred posts long now, but given time...

ESTIMATION TO 500K: On the boards anniversary, July 2. Wouldn't that be so fitting?

Helping the Board along to 500K!

I'm bad...

I'd say early June... Seem to be less threads floating around now...

Okay, a lot of our board members will be out of school in a couple of weeks... I'll hazard a guess of... May 28th.

Eh? I thought the board's anniversary was the 3rd--what time zone are you?

I'll be gone for 9 days during spring break, so put that into your calculations.

Well, after 283 days, we have 417,104 posts. That equals about 1,474 posts per day. Subtracting the total from 500,000, we still have 82,896 posts to go. Dividing that by 1,474, we get 56 days until 500K posts. This may not be accurate, as activity may change. Since I cannot tell whether we've gotten slowly more active or slowly less active since the boards started, I cannot say if it will happen sooner or later than that date.

Spring Break is after Good Friday for me. However, I'll be spending all time possible outside with friends or at the movies

But you forgot exponential growth!

East. Does it say under Kanos' avatar that he joined the 3rd to you?

Kanos joined before the board was open to users. Thus, July 3d was the first day when users were allowed to join, so the anniversary is Jul 3d, not 2d.

Have a very nice day.

Why haven't you got "Official SD.Net Lawn Ornament" title yet? You should have it, as it wouldn't suit me really...i'm more of a "Official SD.Net Head Sized Inquisitive Citrus Fruit"

I contribute to reach that day.

With the opening of the gaming forum and the commencement of TGODing I expect it to be sooner rather than later than your prediction.

I would saya by may First, but Bean is still overseas, if Iggy maintains his pace and the Testing thread isn't cleared too often I'll say One month from this date.

Spring Break started for me today, and it's only a 9-day weekend.

DGG, aside from the admin account, everyone joined on or after the 3rd. Which means that the 3rd was when the board opened. Ergo, the aniversary is on the third.

neoolong · Post by **neoolong** » 2003-04-12 08:55pm

I would say about a month. With the new forum and all.

Yeah, yeah, I get it.

Fine 500K on July 3rd, becausethatwould be fitting.

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-04-12 08:56pm

Hmmm given the growth but the fact that a good majority of the new growth isn't as talkative.

I'd say around...2~3 monthes

Captain Cyran · Post by **Captain Cyran** » 2003-04-12 09:03pm

Spring break is coming up, so I'd give it a month, MAYBE two.

kojikun · Post by **kojikun** » 2003-04-12 09:05pm

since the creation of the board, the average daily post rate is 1,506ppd. to finish the 90,000 to 500k we need 60 more days of posting. In two months, about mid June, we'll hit 500k.
