[Spation]

We aren't going to stop you, but you'll be treated as such.

As if this forum could get any more annoying.

You're supposed to quote the person. Here's a hint, it's called "Quoted for truth."

[ShadowLink]

I believe it's implied that I quote the person above me sir.

The forums are growing at an increasing rate.  A perfect example of an exponential growth.

No it's not. It's not constant.

[General Omega]

So the rate of change is constantly non-constant? Isn't that the definition of exponential growth?

Doesn't count.

No:

Please excuse my crappy ten second MSpaint job.

Non constant is more like:


But I guess if you wanted to be a richard and say that exponetial works as it is never the same slope, you could. But the forums don't follow a perfect arc like that does though, so I would not call it exponential.

[General Omega]

 Constantly non constant is not a double negative. it is just redundant. Exponential means that the rate of change is non constant and thus, in a graph, not a strait line.

[Ladios]

The term you used was constantly non-constant, which covers but is not limited to exponential growth. Say a teacher asked you what 2+2 was and you said it was a number above 0. While that would be true, it is not exactly what was being said.

I would love to continue this debate but I have to go to work.

[General Omega]

I hate math. I prefer logic.

[DrMobius]

No it's not. It's not constant.

If you want to convince me, then plot a graph of the total members each week.
