    Default Math- Thats right... MATH!

    Alright using math.... find out how many usernotes you should have if they continue the way they are going in exactly 1 year.

    I've been here for about 1 half of a year. In that time I got 267 usernotes. So if you multiply the time I've been here by 2 you get a year.
    6 months X 2= 1 year

    So if you multiply my usernotes by two you should get a year's usernotes
    267X2= 534
    Then if you add a year's usernotes by my current you get...
    534+267=801

    In 1 year I should have 801 usernotes total. What about everyone else?

    I'll have 70 user notes by next year!

    Was I supposed to show my work?

    I've had 102 usernotes in a little over 5 years, but usernotes didn't exist beyond 2.5 years ago, so I've had 102/2.5=40.8 usernotes per year, meaning I can expect to have somewhere in the vicinity of 102+40.8=142.8 usernotes in one year's time, provided I continue to post at a similar rate to what I manage now.

    Joy.

    by mr. face's theorem (that usernotes did not exist more than 2.5 years ago), i have received 839 usernotes/2.5 years = 335.6 usernotes/year. therefore, an extrapolation of this line would lead me to believe i should have 839+335.6 = 1174.6 usernotes by this time next year. However, I figure that I receive usernotes at a much slower rate than that. The rate cannot be described purely by a linear curve. a sinusoidal curve would be much more apt to describe my usernote rate.

    I have been here since 1998...so that is about 8 years.

    8 * 365 = 2920 days

    I have 61 usernotes.

    61/2920 = 0.02089041095 user notes per day.

    So if I multiply that by 365 in a year from now I will have 68-69 user notes.

    I smurfing rule.

    You should probably count that from the time user notes were enabled instead of when you joined. But I don't know when that was.

    I also should count from the time I really joined instead when the site said I joined. Last I checked EoFF didn't even exist in any form 1998 XD

    I've been here 1 year and 17 days = 382 days.

    I have 48 usernotes

    that gives 0.127 usernotes day<sup>-1</sup> (to 3 significant figures).

    Extrapolation for the end of my second year here next November, of course assuming that the rate of change of usernotes remains constant, implies I'll have 0.127 * 365 * 2 = 91.7 usernotes. Or 91 usernotes with the 92nd popping up a week or so later.

    1 year 10 months. 156 notes,
    156 divided by 22 equals about 7.
    7*12=84
    156+84=240 usernote in 1 year.

    This isnt really a good way to do this, because the usernote rate changes dramatically. before, when Crash was here, We had a usernote battle which actually got me some userntoes, then it died down. Then people gave me usernote sout of pity.

    Everyone knows Southern California was founded in 1999. Silly Yamaneko.
