Maybe if you are using European dating conventions where the day is first you joined less than a year ago. But March 12, 2004 is a lot longer than a year ago...

he probally meant "less than two years ago" still thats about 4750 each year roughly (it would be more audratic than linear, but still) which is a freaking lot.

They make over hunderd thousand mustangs a year... so lets say 4-5million mustangs out there. I know thats going off of 100,000 even though they made 1 million in 1965-66.

But still lets say 4 million mustang owners...we got 10,000 members over 2 years....so at this rate tms will have 4 million members in about....800 years...

yes, but you fail to factor in the fact that the growth of membership isnt a linear function, its more of an exponential function, so each year there are more new members than the previous year, so the rate of change each year is higher than before so it wouldnt take the foull 800 years

:crazy: = arin after Calc

or it could be quadratic.after you reach the optimal value, attendance begins to decline as owners get freaked out by the other 3999999 people posting all at once.

that doesnt entirely work unless brad and scot with one T start deleting inactive members. because technically there will always be that many members

for ex: there are well over 10K members registered, but i guarantee you they will never all be on at once
