My money's on Saturday 13th August at 4.05 pm, need we say GMT?  I bet weekends are busier than during the week.  I wonder if that Mr or Ms Unknown has any idea how many people are awaiting his/her arrival  :D

If I could change me bet I would.  But that's bad form.

As a scaredy cat at betting - I always hedge so as a secondary bet I think it will be 20th Aug now, based on the last week.

It appears that I'm going to be proved wrong this week on the timing of the 20,000th Rootschatter unless by some miracle the site gets more than 120 new members per day for the next few days.  With hindsight, I shouldn't have been surprised about losing my shirt since I was the only person more optimistic than Trystan and I failed to take into account the "Kids hogging the PC during the Summer Holidays" factor.

Even if it's for no other reason than to prove Annie right that the "boys" are falling over themselves on this one I attach a summary in chronological order of the bets placed so far, duly taking into account the effects of time zones.  After much handwaving, odds have now been assigned to the various bets and by my calculations, Dimps is odds on favourite to win, closely followed by Jo New, Kevwood, Jaycon & MaryA.

Let wait and see if the bookies are going to make a killling or lose their shirts ???.

ps  Dimps, I should definitely start dusting off that proper hat of yours :)

With all these new members does the ratio of gents to ladies always remain constant at 1:1.4?  Or is this statistic not updated?
