88,910 Members currently. What day will we become 90,000?

I am impressed with the growth of our family and thought it would be fun to see if anyone could determine the day we turn 90,000. I would not have clue as to how to predict with any accuracy, but I know some of this family could probably do it in their sleep.

So here is the callenge, guess the day and if you want to narrow it down, then put the time of day in. I will try to keep track of things and when 90,000 hits, I will let everyone know who chose correctly.

You also know, as I have so many times in comments and posts, if we decide to, we can make things happen. So the next part of the challenge would be to take a chance and invite more of your counterparts and have an impact on the outcome of when 90,000 occurs.

How many other companies, co-workers, friends, and others could we bring to this family if we put our collective mind to work?

So I will be the first with a WAG. June 14, 2008.

Wayne, I will say we will hit the 90,000 member mark on May 31st 8:07pm. The real mark is when we hit 100,000. I am going to say Labor Day Sept 8th 7:38am.

I'll WAG it as June 27th...

Also - does anyone "go away" after a while of not logging in or posting? Or, does someone out of the real estate business just stay on forever?

I would think we would hit 90,000 before the end of May. I am going to say May 28 at 5pm.

I know of some people who have passed. For some reason, AR keeps them as members. I know that they will never write another post but numbers are numbers . . .

AR hs seemed to grow very quickly even since I joined a few months ago. But that "go away" comment is a good one - there are many people in my area which are still at the beginning points count so they must not be "active" participants in the Rain. Are they afraid to get wet? What does constitue the population count? All those signed on less non-participators or is it just a total "peak" number which could never get lower? I agree 100,000 seems only a short time away.

A second thought, I just noticed the "online now" count at the top of the page. It is around 6k+ at the moment and that is the highest I ever remenber seeing it. That is exciting to me, a lot of people all on at the same time - that is the mark of a busy community!

I will go with June 1st 805pm. What do I get if I am right?

I say --- ummmm ----- 5-29-08 @ 5:30pm --- Hey it's just a guess!!! Great Post - food for thought!

Am I wrong or are the numbers going backward. I thought yesterday we had 89,107 first time I looked. Now it is down to 88,482. Come on, we are going the wrong way or the AR mullahs are playing games with us because of the challenge. You can always adjust your choices.

You beat me to the punch! Wayne, I just realized that as well. Did they clean out the garbage accounts or inactive ones? I know they did some upgrades while we were sleeping (spell check is working now) so I assume a little cleaning may have happened. Plus, I've never seen less that 1000 people logged in, and now there's only 186 logged in. Wierd. It's like a ghost town. I may need to adjust my prediction.

James and Duane

We may all have to adjust and did you notice the number has been 88,482 most of the day if not all of it.

Strange things going on all of a sudden. Maybe "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING".
