 11 days have past when I first posted about when we will have 5000 members. Then, we almost had 4000, but now we have over 4500. Although I will not change my original guess, it does not seem like I will be the closest. Based on this information, does anyone else want to guess a date? -------------------- We are all curious like a cat. We wonder, we ask, we learn.

As I was welcoming a new member last night, I was urging him to join the contest. Then I happened to notice this next to his post, and edited it to say essentially " sorry you missed it" What's up?

Dont go by that number. Remember people who do not validate, are banned, deleted, etc dont count as a true member but still raise the number.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums at the bottom is the right member count -------------------- Lawrence

With less then 70 to go, it would be nice if it happened today (Nov 28). It would definately make my birthday extra special.
If you will excuse me, I have something to take care of (looking through E-mail address book to flood people to join today)! -------------------- We are all curious like a cat. We wonder, we ask, we learn.

Looks like we only need 35 members or so. You may hit 5,000 today Grinler.

Grinler could always arbitrarily extend the length of time it takes to get to 5000. Just drop from the member roles those who haven't posted in 6 months, or 90 days, or whatever.
