Now that the contest is over, some data and hints:

The forum is currently growing by 22.4 members per day. Simply using that figure we'll hit 7,000 members by 3/10/2008

But things change: When the contest started we were growing by about 19 members per day.

So, will we increase at a constant rate (22.4) or at a decreasing rate (19) or at an increasing rate (25)? I guess we'll see!!!

Ok, now that the contest is over I'll post my guess:

BYC will hit 7,000 members on 3/8/2008

Pretty exciting that we'll probably have a winner in just 20-25 days!!!

Ok, I'm such a geek. I ran some numbers (Royicus will at least be impressed at my Excel pivot table skills):

Number of new members per month:

:

1/1/2007 304
2/1/2007 295
3/1/2007 590
4/1/2007 680
5/1/2007 545
6/1/2007 454
7/1/2007 506
8/1/2007 427
9/1/2007 423
10/1/2007 459
11/1/2007 419
12/1/2007 394
1/1/2008 632
2/1/2008 412 (as of 2/18)

The biggest day for new members was on 1/11/07 (when the forum was opened to the public and an email was sent out to a ton of anxiously waiting people): 64 people registered on 1/11/07!

Second biggest day ever was... well, yesterday at 39 new members... in ONE DAY!

It's really exciting to see BYC growing so quickly. The only sad part is that my guess won't even be close!

We're at 6500! Only 400 more

We're at 23.5 new members per day (based on a 30 day average) which puts us at about 3/8, but I'm guesssing now it will be sooner than that.
