What would you expect? =) Quality products will attract people =) Considering that very little promotion is done and this 200,000 was virtually created by word of mouth says something I think =)
Thank you Bob for a very interesting thread. Congrats to the whole LFS community, as an old member I'm very glad to see that the word is still spreading .
We should track the 'I want an Update NOW!' threads too. We might see some interesting trends in there if we cross-reference against the content updates Maybe they coincide with full moons...
Not so sure about that... I bet using LFS in the Force Dynamics and in some other motion platforms, the whole Intel Racing Tour and using LFS in some of the BMW Pitlane Park things has had some influence. Plus some other things which I don't remember right now.
Can you Bob see the exact mount of S1 and S2 owners? That would be interesting.
Although the methods used the last time we estimated it (back on RSC I believe) should still be applicable now. That's where I got the 1/4 figure from.
Been keeping track of this still, seems word has REALLY started spreading of late, kicking off with patch Z.
Not only has lfs.net now reached one quarter of a million registrations (2 days ago infact), but the rate at which new registrations are appearing is consistently higher than ever before, including day-of-release spikes (S1A and S2Z excluded).
Thought this would be of interest.
Btw: current predictions for the million mark are currently lying somewhere in 2014.
