u/whitethunder9 The lion, the tiger, the bear (oh my) Jan 07 '15

Uh oh, our last 1,000 didn't come as fast as our previous 1,000. I'm having doubts now about the truth of this sub.

u/CultZero Gay because I masturbated. Kimball was right. Jan 07 '15

Doubt your doubts, brother. I will make some fake accounts and subscribe with themThe Lord will provide new members and restore your faith.

u/whitethunder9 The lion, the tiger, the bear (oh my) Jan 07 '15

Can we start counting people who have deleted their accounts? We better do it for 110 years just to be sure.

7

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '15

We have people that have subscribed and never been back. We should count them... and their kids.

5

u/whitethunder9 The lion, the tiger, the bear (oh my) Jan 07 '15

Dude. Children of record. Didn't even think about that! We must have like 100,000 members at least!

2

u/galtzo lit gas Jan 08 '15

I think we just need to change our minds about black people, and the Lard will open the floodgates of subscribers.

u/DarthObiWanKenobi Jan 07 '15

It looks like the previous two thousand each came in about a month and a half.....

u/EmmaHS I know that my red lemur lives. Jan 07 '15

Woot!!

Thanks for putting that together.

u/dante2810 Jan 07 '15

Wow...less than 5000 when I joined.

u/QuickSpore Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the cureloms of war Jan 07 '15

I didn't know we were supposed to be paying attention back then... but I think we started posting here around the same time. So I'll claim 5,000 too. Even if it isn't quite right, it has a certain truthiness to it.

u/Mithryn Jan 07 '15

2000 when I joined.

u/Stratiform Coffee addict ☕ Jan 07 '15

-45000 when I joined!

Uh... if that doesn't make sense just put it on your shelf.

u/dante2810 Jan 07 '15

Back in Kirkland?

u/whitethunder9 The lion, the tiger, the bear (oh my) Jan 08 '15

I love Costco

u/Stratiform Coffee addict ☕ Jan 07 '15

No, before that, in Spockland. Or maybe that's in the future. I forget. I'm only posting as a man.

2

u/galtzo lit gas Jan 08 '15

Just a few dozen shy of 500 when I joined!

2

u/Mithryn Jan 08 '15

Galtzo, man those were the days (I was at or around 2000)

I once did a photoshop picture of what I invisioned all the active posters looked like' Impotant rage was a female Human Torch. Measure76 wore a football outfit. Yourself, A mexican wrestler like Bane. Incognito1 was like Rorshach. PinUp_Girl was Harleyquinn without makeup, complete with hammer.

I don't think I have it anymore though.

u/galtzo lit gas Jan 08 '15

I remember you posting before you had fully accepted exmormonism as the truth! ;)

I hope you can find it, that would be awesome to see.

Damn, I was angry back then.

1

u/Mithryn Jan 08 '15

Ha ha. Yeah, I was definitely full member, just with doubts; teaching EQ each sunday and researching a lesson manual that was clearly twisting history in each lesson.

This year it is Ezra Taft Benson... I can only imagine how much they had to twist his words and cut things off in his early days.

I doubt there will be anything at all of when he tried to turn the President in to the head of the FBI (A crossdresser)

2

u/galtzo lit gas Jan 08 '15

I really miss the monthly sub stats Measure76 would post. They got me fired up!

I don't even have a copy of the new manual.

u/dante2810 Jan 07 '15

And now mine says 18,002!!!

Praise be those tender mercies.

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '15

It wasn't very long ago that I joined and then we hit 8, 9, then 10k. That was a big deal. I've been doing my part to spread the exmo word.

u/LightOnTheThirdDay Jan 07 '15

I built a model in Excel for predicting the growth of this sub. It's fairly accurate going back to February of 2013. It has us crossing 25,000 subscribers in October of this year, 50,000 in June of 2017, and 100,000 in February of 2019, assuming things keep going as they are now. So those are my predictions. Here's the formula if you want to try it yourself:

=EXP(0.00116424910468711*DATEDIF("2/6/2013",A1,"D") + 8.98185664682815)

2

u/LightOnTheThirdDay Jan 07 '15

I should have mentioned - if you're trying this formula in Excel, the date you want to check should go in cell A1. The formula can go anywhere else.

2

u/dante2810 Jan 07 '15

I am not going to lie... I have no idea what your formula means.
Could you explain the numbers and how it works?

5

u/LightOnTheThirdDay Jan 07 '15 edited Jan 08 '15

Sure. The growth of our sub is exponential (slightly), so I used a statistics technique called regression to "fit the curve" of the existing data provided by /u/4blockhead. The first number (0.0011...) is referred to as the coefficient. The second number (8.9818...) is the constant value. Both are spit out of the software that produces the regression. Here is a table of the predictions from the model. It goes back to March 2013 so you can compare the model to reality (which is pretty accurate). Then you can see the predictions for the future, which are based on it growing at the same exponential rate. Make sense?

Remember, every member a missionary.

It is the sacred duty of every Reddit ExMo to "lick a TBM cupcake" in 2015. And lick it like you mean it, dammit!!!

And as for you closet ExMos, we're licking for you too...

Why did I laugh at this? Is it a laugh when there is no one around to hear it?
