I think it will be sometime on Saturday.  Annie could still win, as she may be the nearest.

I'll be offline for a week from tomorrow AM so I'll miss the grand welcoming.  Lets hope its someone who is really interested in participating and doesn't become one of the ghost members! :)

cheers

Using Crighton's Law of Rootschat Extrapolation   (1883)...

Since 1 August we have been recruiting at the rate of one member every 33 minutes.

If all carries on in a similar vein (and my guerilla tactics on another board this AM doesn't inflate the count!), then I reckon we would expect to welcome our 20,000th member at around 5pm on 6 August (BST).

cheers

Nearly right Paul,

You didn't read Appendix 2 of the paper where it clearly states that the number of Rootschat members (Rt) at any point in time (tR) is defined by:

Rt = R0 Kx (tR - t0)

unless a Friday night is involved in which case the formula becomes:

Rt = R0 Kx (tR - t0) + Ns PR1

Where Ns is the number of people who will sit in front of their computer on Friday night because they don't feel like going down the pub and PR1 is the probability that they will join Rootschat.

Al ;)

Plus my attempt to seduce members from other boards (which shall remain nameless) may edge it much nearer!

Nice one Al!

Think we may need to build in the BBq factor, as it is a wonderful sunny evening here. ;D
