When I am writing this forum member #8900 has not registered. At the same time the number of threads now stands at 9064. So what will reach 10000 first?
As a side line, since just over two months ago the rep system disappeared the number of forum members stood at about 6000. This may be an indication that having a rep system provides something as a threshold preventing new members to enter. Therefore the discontinuing of rep seems to have worked well.
