Is anyone keeping all these guesses logged?

Avatar of RetGuvvie98

blackfirestorm, that would likely be the OP's task, to collate all the guesses.

Avatar of Puchiko

well, we'll definitely get the time when it happens, but it might not be such a great idea to make the name of the member public-like by giving him a trophy.

 

Newbie: Hmm, this site looks pretty interesting, looks like I'll join.

...minutes later

300 new messages: Congratulations on being the millionth member, welcome to chess.com!


Newbie: Aaaargh! This place is scary *hides*

Staff are not eligible for the competition because they have access to site statistics that make it easier for them to figure out. Also, everybody already knows that every chess.com staff member is a genius.


edit: thank you Erik.


Awwww... Why can't Erik have a guess too?  It's not like anyone's really going to win anything.  This is all just for fun.  Anyone who would try to cheat at this by editing his post to have the right answer (when there is nothing to gain from it) is worse than someone trying to cheat at online chess with a total stranger.  Wink

 

I'm more concerned at why the total number of members is still stuck at 952,099.  I KNOW we've had a lot of people join since then!!  If the counter doesn't start moving again, we'll never know when it happens.  Frown

Well, the figures in the home page are static at 952,099 since yesterday... I believe that:

1. This number is changed manually????

or

2. This number is refreshed with other parts of the site????

or

3. Nobody has joined the site since yesterday???? (According to new members list there are new players... around 400)

or

4. Erik wants to win the prize himself and is cheating... :)

Avatar of oinquarki

OK. I put Erik's guess in the list.

P.S.: We still gotta come up with a cutoff date.

Avatar of RetGuvvie98

I suggest you cutoff all 'guesses' when the total registered reaches 990,000  that keeps it a little bit uncertain.

1000000 cents


I'll take it! Wink

edit: Where do I pick up the check? Actually I prefer that in small unmarked bills.

Avatar of SlipperySims

Since my birth date is 11/17, I predict the millionth member will join Jan. 17th.

Avatar of Billium248

Hey!!  The number of members finally changed!!  It still doesn't look like it's moving tho.
