Nairaland hit 20,000 today!

The 20,000th member (in a manner of speaking) is kaygee82

Guess the date for 30,0000!!

to-night

I remember when we had 2000 members. Daing! 20, 000? amazingly awesome!!!!

Only 2,000 members? Many forum administrators will gladly spend a lot of money to have "only 2000"! I'm glad that the forum is growing, and I am glad that members are glad that it's growing!

how many of these 20000 have more than 5 posts?

Good question!

It seems only about 5,000 of the 20,000 ever posted. That's 20 percent.

Funny, that's similar to Pareto's principle.
"The 80/20 Rule means that in anything a few (20 percent) are vital and many(80 percent) are trivial."

Hmm, interesting.

I wonder if we'd find that 20% of that 20% are responsible of 80% of all posts.

Seun! Analyze This!

Whoa!!! Nairaland sure got loads of members! It's now 20144. How Kool is that.

My prediction is May 27th for 30,000 members

Hanhan? well I think so too, cos this thread isn't 3 days old yet, and we now have 312 new members added to the 20,000.

Gahh lee!

we should have a welcoming committee for new members. z4m4eva was the one that made me really stay in nairaland. she welcomed she. @Z, lady where u been and how is mike?

Nairaland is surely growing

Lol countdown
today 10th April its 21 028

i bet it will be 30 000 before may 27

30,000? that'd be June 30th when students will be on break, what do you expect? Holiday brings traffic and Seun's gotta set the ball rolling, plus the World Cup Live soon. I can hardly wait for both!

Quantity not quality here is what i say, many are inactive , not any real substance to it

Very close. June 21st. Next, guess the date for 40,000!

Haba Skid, you know that that was just a fluke, i guessed of course and i'm not sure i can make a correct guess. My guess was based on Holiday and the World cup, i believe with this achievement, member's will double in a speedy rate and that means we can talk of 40,000 by the 4th of August . Let's see.

It has already reached 30,000. As at the time i'm making this post Nairaland is at 35065 so 40,000 is very close.
This forum might just grow to an extent where it'll have to be closed.

That can happen As in who will say it has to be closed? is there like an Internet rule?

I'm not sure this can be achieved today, let's see what happens through the weekend.

So let's guess the date for 50,000!

There are now 54680 members wecome michealnye

Now its 54683, welcome pppelf

Boy,

NL dey hit 60,000 members today o, watch out, it's 59912 already and that's barido!

I like this guessing game. It's currently 63,194. And I predict it'll hit 70,000 on November 30th. And 80,000 on January 15!

@bioye
ur november prediction was wrong

common @omogenaija.

that's because Seun stopped people from registering. Normally, we used to have multiple registrations in minutes. Now, it appears like 1 registration per week.

Seun says he needs time off for his movie projects. Remember the story writing threads? It's linked to that.

Meanwhile, why dont you make your prediction? Who knows? Maybe you are better at predicting

Well right now there are 65477 members, I say that there will be 65,480 within 1 hour!!!!!

I'm hoping I'm right,

yea, just one more to make it 65480

Darn, guess I was wrong. But I was off by a minute

Unless you go by the fact that miasat had the intention of making the account during the alotted time

It just hit 70,000 a few minutes ago. I missed it by 53 days. OK, It's gonna be 80,000 on the 8th of March.

It's already 80,000 today!  My prediction was 6 days later.  Instead of 45 days, it took 39 days.  Hence I was 86% accurate.  All things being equal,

I predict it will hit 90,000 on Thursday, 5th April, 2007.

I guess it's getting really saturated now, about 10,000 forumites per month
