in celebration of this forum turning one week old; i went digging and found out the following:

the day before the forum opened there were 13 members then the fun starts...

the 20th adds 48 more for 61
the 21st adds an amazing 236, now its 297
the 22nd added 70 bringing it to 367
the 23rd brought in 38 more, 405
the 24th saw 25 new faces for 463
and so far the 25th has added 24 to bring us up to 487
thats an average of just under 70 people per day

there is a discrepency if 41 people because it says there are 528, oh well

with 228 thread thats an average of 33 new threads a day
and at 6,880 posts there have been a whopping average of 983 posts a day!

well i just found it interesting, and felt it would go well in the "Off Tpoic" aera, dont think its amazing let it sink to the bottom, but this is awesome for Icarus i would think, one week old and with an amazing start :D

Nicely done, Snorkel. :)

As word gets around -word of mouth being the best advertisement - more and more will come here. Icarus has a winner, that's for sure.

Peace, Tae

*tears up* You are not alone with your pointless math fixation! I love that kinda stuff. Interesting results, btw :) Especially the part about the members not adding up.. I wonder if Icarus has special hidden accounts, or if you've noticed a bug in the forum software?

I've been recording the weather off the front page since the site went up... just about have enough data to analyze it and see if there are any trends or if it's just random. I'll send you the raw data if you want so you can play with it.

Yup I've been looking into that, but haven't really done anything serious withit, it just prolly jumps up and down quite randomly, between about 50 celcius plus to around 10 celcius minus..

Could I see the data, Sinoth? I love seing odd facts and figures, but I suck at maths, so I prefer to leave the hard stuff to someone else. :D

I did some math to.
As of yesterday morning roughly 10% of all forum posts belonged to Mook.

Once I collected and arranged the commissioning and launching dates for 2,502 U-boats to determine the overall general efficiency and production rate of individual German shipyards as they scrambled to complete their respective work orders.

Long story short, the indecisiveness of totalitarian government in regard to resource management and distribution among shipbuilders and other industries caused more production delays then all allied bombing attempts.

Maths = hell for me.
I can come up with any fictional story in a moments notice, but ask me to do anything above pre-algebra....won't happen.

And MoOk has 11% now. ;)

I was calculating your future posts this month.

Taking into account there are roughly 540 active users. And considering the sheer number of posts Mook has made.
My pointless math tells me he needs a girlfriend...

I can also give you the ammount of free time he has in hours, minutes, or seconds... But the number is to large for the human mind to comprehend.

I'm qualified in that department, thanks!

I made the excuse I was ill with the flu, which gives me at least a week's time away. I'll have diahorrea next week, and be pregnant the third. Easy.

Hmm.. do I take it you will be hit by a bus at the release of beta.. That gives you at least a month form all real life obligations.. *Grin*

I think people need to chill out and respect each other a lot more then i've seen some people doing on these forums. Snidey snidey.

But I don't need maths to tell me that.

No look, a bus will only get him like a month off.
If he comes down with mono that gives him like what 4 or 5 months?
