Ravelry Countdown

I signed up on Ravelry's waiting list back on July 4th.

A month later, I discovered the waiting list checker thing.

Seemed like things were moving along fairly well, but I wasn't really sure how fast. So starting on 8/24/07 I started writing down my current spot every once in a while (and now daily) just to see how fast this list is moving.

It is frustrating to be referred back to Ravelry by other bloggers when I can't get in to see what they are talking about. At least by reading about other's experiences, I am already well warned that it will suck up quite a bit of my attention and time for a while after getting in. More because it's a learning experience and opportunity to explore a very large web site than because it has problems.

So here is my count down so far:

8/24/07 #3466
8/26/07 3167
8/27/07 2990
8/29/07 2860
9/3/07 2348
9/5/07 2225
9/6/07 2098
9/10/07 1774
9/11/07 1540
9/12/07 1299

It seems like there are bringing in about 200 people a day. If that's the case, I should get my invitation in about a week.

Yes, I'm excited.

Wow, I signed up on August 28th and there's still over 17,000 people in line ahead of me. I have a couple of friends who are already in and they love it, but it can be a huge time sink if you're not careful.

Good news, Frecklegirl stated today that now that Casey got in the new servers and they are perfect, they are inviting 500-600 a day.
