The discussion revolves around the anticipation of reaching 30,000 members on a forum, with participants making predictions about the exact time and date it will happen. Various members speculate on the current membership count, which fluctuates due to the forum administrator, Greg, deleting inactive accounts to maintain an accurate representation of active users. There is a playful competition among members to guess when the milestone will be reached, with humorous exchanges about the potential for the 30,000th member to be a spammer. As the count approaches 30,000, excitement builds, culminating in the announcement of the new member, "nabla." However, some members express skepticism about the legitimacy of this new account, suspecting it may be linked to another member, Ivan, raising the possibility of a conspiracy. The thread captures a mix of camaraderie, humor, and light-hearted conspiracy theories as members engage in this milestone event.

I predict that we will never hit 30,000 because Greg will continue to delete members to prevent it. Once he's deleted all of the inactive accounts, he'll start deleting active accounts. I would suggest becoming a contributor as those will be the last members to be deleted. :-p
What happens if greg self-deletes?
Has he tried that out yet?

Greg cannot self delete, there is a fail safe. Rumor has it that the entire universe would vanish if that were to happen. :bugeye:

hmmm...I just realized something! the universe is not entirely PF! :eek: only cyberspace would collapse, causing problems all over the world! So we'd invent a time machine to fix the problem, mess up something back in time...and...oh, yeah. the universe would collapse, never mind... :redface:

Yeah Greg probably has the forum setup such that the second pf gets to 29,999 some members will be deleted.
