We all know the forums will be very busy after Civ5 releases tomorrow. In fact, a new record for "Currently Active Users" (CAU) was already set today of 2,146 users at 1:53 PM PST.

That said, what is your prediction for the peek users we'll see in the next few days? Assuming a new record is set between now and, say, Sept. 27, what will it be?

Get your prediction in. As time allows I'll edit your prediction into this OP.

What is the CAU record going to be?

Rules:
*Closest to the record is the winner.
*You cannot pick a # that has already been picked
*If there's a tie where one person is over and the other is under, the under will win. So, if its 10 and Gunther guesses 8, and Wolfgang guess 12, we'll both be off by 2. Since Gunther is under, he wins.
*Once I've recorded your # in the OP you cannot change it.
*You can vote until 11:59 PM PST, today (Sept. 20)

The prize will be the smug satisfaction that you were right. That and a massage from Downtown, while VRWC reads to your from the selected works of Jefferson Davis.

I don't think it'll break 3,000.

Lesse... 2948. OH, and I'd rather regale the winner with the strategic cavalry writings of Little Joe Wheeler, if that's okay :)

lol, and if you win, since you can't read to yourself, I'll read selected works from Alexander Hamilton on broad construction and the primacy of federal rights. ;)

Also, I'm with Aimee; I wouldn't be surprised to see some downtime logged.
