Please Vote! I notice a lot more views than votes...

Shall we play a (guessing) game? Which Will Happen First: 221,000 discussions, 2,000,000 messages, or 100,000 members?

The current numbers are (increases rounded):
Discussions: 215,445 (5.5K increase needed)
Messages: 1,958,623 (41.4K increase needed)
Members: 90,243 (9.7K increase needed)

Put in terms of growth percentage (numbers rounded):
Discussions: ~2.58% growth
Messages: ~2.11% growth
Members: ~10.81% growth

I've been somewhat intrigued by the uptick in members (especially after the migration to XenForo). I'm eagerly awaiting TUG hitting the magical 6-figure number in membership. I thought I'd try to keep it interesting by conducting this poll.
Contrary to what I presume will be the conventional wisdom, I will cast my vote for reaching 100K members first. I like the underdog, and I'm counting on the migration to XenForo to make up the ground. If only I had the time to do the statistical analysis...or TUGCOIN (inspired by DaveNW, WalnutBaron, and TUGBrian) to bet on it.

Poll rules:
- 1 vote
- Vote can't be changed
- You must vote to see the (current) results

Friendly banter allowed and encouraged :)

there has definately been a surge in membership since the xenforo migration, i expect its due to the vast improvement in how xenforo is coded and how pages get far better native search engine optimization than vbulletin used to.

you can easily see that same large jump in traffic, as well as search results/clicks on the forums ever since the upgrade!

We're only 292 messages shy of 2M (291 with this message) and are well short of the numbers for threads and members.

Looks like those who voted for 2M messages picked the correct choice.
