This Site Will Soon Have 7 Million Members !!!

6,957,989

Thanks for the new posts.

Owlmoon: Thanks for the new update.

6,974,815

I'm guessing less than a week left.

As a nice gesture, Chess.com could grant this person Premium status, even for just one week. I prophesy this person will be a happy member ever since and never look for another Chess site again.

Owlmoon: Thanks for the updates, getting very close now to be sure.

TheBigDecline: Thanks for the suggestion, sounds good to me.

I dont know if its because of the winter, but I do see the number of people in Live Chess being > 13.000 regularly!

ElKitch: That is a very good point. I've noticed that number going up as well and it makes sense. If we use 4 million member accounts as a base line then when 6 million was reached there had been a 50 % increase ( over the base line total ) and one could also expect that more people would have the time to play Live Chess ( based on the percentage of increase ).

ATTENTION --------------------- ATTENTION !!!

Within 24 to 48 hours the 7 million member account threshold will be crossed ! ( & the naysayers shall gnash their teeth again  lol   ).

Indeed the countdown is on: ( naysayers put your hands over your ears ) ten --- nine --- eight --- seven, etc.

do we get free tacos when the 7 million mark is reached?

Thanks for the post TetsuoShima. Early on this thread several people did make guesses as to the time of the 7 million mark being reached. Someone will have the pleasure of having the nearest guess but alas the prize cupboard is bare.  

PS: judging by the size of my tummy I must have eaten all of the tacos by myself.

7 million subscripers, they really should think about a stock listing.

Yes they are doing quite good with the total of the numbers, should bode well for the future of this site.

Thanks for the update Owlmoon, tomorrow could well be the day of getting to the big number. 

Will a ball drop?

Or just droop?

Well I was trying to hire a Brass-band but the shortage of funds might limit things to just one midget playing a kazoo.

7 million!!!
