Thank you for returning to our wiki (again) and your thoughtful comment. I think they key that you are misunderstanding is a logical point. It is illogical to think that we are going to become a thousand members overnight. I would encourage you to check back in a year and then respond to this thread about whether my prediction was correct or not. But that requires patience.

The reasons I say to anticipate an "influx of new users" are two-fold:

1) The rate at which our name is spreading.

Two new uers since the program was created about a week ago (though we are not yet sure that they will be "regular" users). [Rate: two per week or one every 3.5 days]

Somewhere between four to six regular new users over the year preceding that. [Rate: six per year or one every 60 or so days]

By my calculations the increase in rate is around 1714.29%. If you need some assistance with percentage or other math topics, please let me know. I love to teach! There are also playlists on KA that may assist.

2) The program has only been up for about a week and already has many comments and upvotes. I don't know if this will continue or die out (I think Virus did this once in the past also), but it is still better to be prepared rather than sitting on our hands. In particular, it might be important to discuss promoting some new officers if we need them to help manage things.

Glad to see you again, take care!
