Registered members is up to to 66,678. I don't know where to set the target for the next contest. 67.000, 68,000, 70,000. Boring.
Total posts when I logged on at 10:30 pm ET 1/17 was listed as 2,447,217.
Let's guess for the date and time of 2,500,000.
The winner gets:
1) A quiet dinner with Craven, but you have to pay for it because he doesn't have any money (which I would consider an honor) or
2)
3)
2,447,548 posts @ 7:30am ET.
so let's see...
carry the one, divide by the square root of pi... plus eleventeen......
AHA!
we will hit 2,500,000 on 3/17/07 @ 3:17pm ET...
Midnight on the 3/21/07--the First Day of Spring.

Oh, no reason.
The number 27 keeps bouncing around the inside of my head, also. I can't think why that is.
I am thinking 11:27 PM ET on Valentine's day with a post from some state like Montana expressing unconditional love for Gus.
I am going to have to re-check my math before I make that my pick, though.
I am not going to do your homework for you but:

Due to the A2K problems, a lot of posts didn't get posted. I am going for 3/29/07 as being the 2,500.000th post and it will be by an Aussie.

Check out where we are now.
'sgunna be today (prolly).
But that'd be 1 March, as it is here - or 28 February - as it is there. Although it might be 1 March there before the number turns over.
2499580
the numbers (as of 8:52am ET) --
2,500,074 posts
68,022 peeps
As I remarked elsewhere, we need to find those New Members.
Are the bets placed for 70,000?
If not, I back High Noon on May Day.
we will reach 70k on 4/21/07, at 4:21:07pm EDT...
I would think tomorrow, April 19, 2007, at around 8:00 am PST.
As of this moment: 69,918 members.
