I saw 6808 at lunch, though I think the system is flawed, it should calculate registered loggedin users only, not wusses who wont register an account

At the current rate, we should set a new forum record within a minute or two.

Yeah! Do I get to play Plinko now? I'll land it right down the middle.

Underguessed the number of poeple by about 4,000 though. I didn't think a phone release would have that much interest. Shows what I know.


This was fun, let's play again soon!
