... currently at 9,351,545. Whether or not the Professor's available, we'll be watching that counter to 10,000,000.

So, along with any other relating or tangential subtopics you may have... when do you think we'll get there?

---

What I'm worried is that the site may close. Didn't the Prof say that he was going to keep the site open for ten years and then close it? Well, hey, the cafe opened in 1994 and now its 2004. Boy has time flown by.

Which reminds me of the early days of the net when things were so much... simpler? I think I got on the net around 96 or 97. Back in the 2400k modems or whatever. I guess the one thing we can be more thankful for is that nowadays we have a lot more resources of information.

okay I'm drifting again... I kinda miss the old days when it was cutting edge and exciting to hear about new Capcom and SNK arcade games through the cafe. Nowadays... well, at least we still have each other.

I think it may take longer then expected to get to 10,000,000. I think the majority of the hits on the site now comes from us regulars using the message board. Most people who just checked the news probably stopped coming ages ago.
But yeah, I miss the old days, too.

His soul has been permanent captured by doujin. His only comeback would be to turn the site into Misato Mitsumi cafe.

Yeah,the good old days were great. All the fresh Capcom and SNK news when I came here was excellent and fresh. I'd always look forward to seeing some screenshots. I don't really visit the main page anymore,just the forum.

I remember also coming on here when there was just like 9 members posting. Wasn't busy back in those days. Ah,sweet bliss.

Yes, the black rainbow is not what it used to be.....

Be as it may be; I do expect -hope- that the cafe remains as it has been up until now; that's no update for 8 months and one good damn fine BBS XD

Cheers.

"Half-week results, simple 10M date estimation" , posted Fri 16 Apr 12:25

When I came back to check the front page, the counter read 9,356,545 -- exactly 5000 after the original. (I'm serious -- no counter pushing involved.) So, 5000-hits for this half week, and an average of a little over 25000 hits/week so far.

Now, just a simple calculation -- if we assume 10,000 hits/week for right now, disregarding whether or not updates occur -- then for the Madman's Cafe to reach the 10M mark...

... it'll take a little over 64 weeks -- by about August 2005.

But that's appling a "bio-spread" model, you fail to take in notice real factors like the upcomming of the E3 or Iggy's senseless talks (I thank you or that, I must add XD). For example and at least for me this has been a slow week. In busy weeks even I can make 1000 entries a week (that's because my PC crashes a lot XD).

yes, there's also the fact that I (and others) may link the site from time to time.

That's why I was calling it a simple estimation. Also -- I don't think the counter ticks up from links directly to the BBS (heh -- so that means the site may have already hit 10,000,000 long before).

Ah well... it's just some trivial fun with numbers. The 10,000,000 hit mark may be more akin to our recognizing the year 2000 -- except, of course, without the steady rate of counting.
