Uh, no. Assuming that we use the binary equivalents of the metric prefixes, a gigamember would be the 2^30th member. That would be member 1,073,741,824. What you are thinking of is the kilomember, or the 2^10th member (1024). Even then, I would argue that using the binary equivalents of metric prefixes is inappropriate in this case.

Actually, there are currently only 16 accounts that haven't posted on the forums... so even if they were purged we'd still have greater than 1k members...

Well... IIRC, didn't ~tl put a better Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart in place? So therefore most, if not all, of the accounts now are created by humans, so the ones that don't post anything are probebly just lurkers. They probebly only created an account to get rid of that awful prosilver theme.

Incidentally that is the name of my T60. :)

Could it be a Kibimember? What's that? 1^10... Oops, Error that comes back as one.

It's not as bad as dividing by Zero

1 /0

Oh noes! *Zap!*
