You have arrived at the friendliest site on the Internet. I love your quote!

Gosh! Sorry about losing your fiver on me, Paul.
Congratulations,  Annie... many smiles for me while following the funnies on this thread.  ;)

This is getting so exciting ;D

Just to think that the unsuspecting person is out there right now 8)

How will we know who they are?



Hi Julie

Here's how ...

You probably already know there's a running total of membership numbers on the top of this page :

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php

Page down to the bottom and you'll see a section saying "Rootschatters Online"
At the end of the section is [Rootschat Stats]

Or you could click here:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=stats

(The top right box has 'Latest Rootschatter')

The top left box has the membership numbers which, if you click on it will give you the membership list...

Click on the the 'Date Registered' Column until its showing in order of latest member.

Pour yourself a nice drink and congratulate yourself.
 :)
cheers

Paul

Hi Annie

I'm happy to de-untechnicalise my explanation if you want! :)

NOW FOR THE TOUGH PART OF THIS THREAD....

We're pretty much on track with the time / date of the 20,000th member...  but

What will they be called?

cheers

Paul

I'm expecting a certain cheeky Rooter (is that a name of a Rootschatter or should we stick with "chatter"?) may sit online waiting waiting waiting and the 20,000th will possibly be a Bill Blunt??

Wouldn't it be brilliant (if a little unlikely) if at the moment that member 19,999 was recruited, about 200 folk all tried to join simultaneously??

We could of course start a CALLING ALL GUESTS thread on each of the main boards, alerting them to the welcome they will get if they are member 20,000!

cheers
