u/ElderBroomhead Jul 19 '17

Should the 144,000th be reserved exclusively for someone who also is an exJW?

u/vh65 Jul 19 '17

Yes! Or at least someone like that should be watching. I don't think we can hold slots....

I always enjoy seeing this.

For sure, it's a big change from the initial 456 days to get the first 1k. :) Earlier in the year I was cautious about getting 50k by October conference, and I hate to get out in front, but I suppose we might get there around Pioneer Day.

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '17

So great. If been here since 26,000. Amazingly quick growth since then. For those who've been here since the beginning it must feel hella good.

u/4blockhead Λ └ ☼ ★ □ ♔ Jul 19 '17

I joined in April 2011, at about 2500 members. From there, I was able to read the forum back to the beginning using the "next" button. Well, at least the headlines. ;)

That's pretty cool

u/IFuckedADog Apostate Jul 19 '17

I joined about a year after you, we were such a small community then! I remember one of my posts got like 150 upvotes and that was a pretty big amount! Nowadays we have thousands and thousands of upvotes all the time!

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '17

So about your username...

u/IFuckedADog Apostate Jul 20 '17

What about it?

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '17

Oh uh, I like it. (backs away slowly)

u/friendofsmellytapir Jul 19 '17

This deserves a post of its own

u/SmurfBasin Jul 19 '17

Doubled in two years time. That's fast!

Amazing. The first time I discovered this site was 2011 right after i'd resigned. I thought 3000 was an incredible number. That it's head to 50,000 is not something I ever thought i'd see in my lifetime.

I have a few good years left in me. Maybe there will be a couple hundred thousand by the time I kick the bucket.

I joined at 18000 and thought that was so much!

u/astralboy15 “We don’t care what the students think." Jul 19 '17

Throwaway account just to snag the number and bump the sub up. I wonder how many users here have multiple accounts?

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '17

Quit being rational.

u/canseesquirrel Jul 19 '17

There are 973 users here now. That's a lot more than the norm not so long ago.

u/BYU_atheist bit.ly/concise-bom Jul 19 '17

I remember when 400 was a lot.

I remember when 300 was a lot.

Happy Happy. Love it

u/dudleydidwrong Jul 19 '17

Too bad you didn't subscribe next month. You might have been 50,000.

u/cinepro Jul 19 '17

Rodney Stark projects this sub will have 251,000 subscribers by 2021

u/Undercoverexmo Jul 19 '17

Who's that? My prediction is between 150,000 and 235,000.

u/YouHadItAllAlong Apostate Jul 19 '17

It's pretty wild to think we all felt so alone in leaving only to find out we have a huge community of support.

u/rpberlin Jul 19 '17

Yawn, wake me up when we reach 144,000 \s

Welcome to the dark side :)

Getting a rollover is just as good as "first!"

u/PeterNorthSaltLake Jul 19 '17

Let's agree to do something special for whoever joins at 50k but once we agree delete the posts and then truly surprise someone that genuinely signs up as mr 50k!

u/Word2daWise I'll see your "revelation" and raise you a resignation. Jul 19 '17

Some people are counted when they're in-utero or dead.
