We had this question in november last year: will we get 100 members before Christmas? Well, we took that hurdle quite effortlessly, so the next question is: how many members will we get at the end of 2005? I know, that's very long term...
Every one is free to give 1 number, entries close 30th june (I don't want to make it too easy), and the one that is closest gets something Smurfy from me (I have no idea what yet, don't expect too much, just some small fun thing or so).
My guess (and wouldn't it be swell if I won myself ): 273 members. I promise not to create fake members to reach the goal, by the way

I'll try to update this first post regularly with a list of guesses, so you don't pick a number that's already chosen.

Fram: 273
Janne: 177
hfos: 250
Tor: 336
Bunno: 301
Karen: 340
Raelene: 325
TYK86: 290
Dyar: 311
Syd: 269
Tojo: 297
Xoiox: 267
Trish: 316
Rachel: 350
Sven: 223
Bookworm: 240
Honey: 341
Beer: 255
Locksmith: 249
Smurfwish: 272
Smurf1303: 313
Eggie: 312
Gina: 321
Lucie: 319
Davina: 307

[JT]

I´m not as optimistic as you Fram

Janne: 177

[hfos]

I vote 250.

[Tor]

I say 336.

[Bunno Smurf]

At the rate I'm recruiting them I'd say 126...nah seriously though ummmmmm

Ok I am the King of Wishful Thinking, I say 340!!

[SA Smurfette]

I say 325 members

Raelene

[TYK86]

I think
290 members:D

Teun(TYK86)

[Syd Smurf]

311 for Dyar.....and Syd wants 269 ....he probably will to

[Tojo]

I predict we'll have 297 members by the end of the year.

[Fram]

Time to bump the thread and to make the first scientifc (ahem) prediction. We have had 14 new members in january. If we assume that we will continue to grow at this rate, not taking in account longer and shorter months, school vacations, or chances of inflation and deflation, we will have another 154 new members at the end of the year (fiscal or otherwise), making the grand total approximately 287. This would mean that Tyk86 (Teun) would be the winner, although I'm not very far of myself as well. For the moment, everyone is still in the running, and there is room for many more contestants!

[XoioX2000]

267 is my guess.... based on the times it takes to grow carrots in Alaska and due to the very well known fact that with the use of radio antennas, they actually grow faster...

Cheers,

David

Bump! 18 new ones in Febuary, even though it is the shortest month. So we're growing faster and faster,

Everyone is still invited to make a prediction or change their previous prediction. The mystery prize is not an envelope

[Syd Smurf]

Is there a prize for the winner?.....if so, can I guess at the end of December as I have to work tomorrow?

Dyar

[Fram]

Dyar, youy already voted twice, and yes, there is a price (no idea what it is though), and no, you can only vote until the end of june.

I don't think you'll win the lotto if you keep up this behaviour

[Syd Smurf]

Ok I agree to guess before mid year....but can I have over 100 guesses? I think this will make it a little easier for me.

Dyar

PS - Syd wants 100 guesses too but I have said that he can only have 50 just to be fair.

[Fram]

You can guess as much as you want Dyar!!!
But only the last one will count

[aussiesmurfer]

I'll say 316.

[Rachel]

Well I am going to be very optimistc and say 350.

Why not.

[pekkelien]

i say 223
