10,000 member barrier broken!!! Tuesday Oct 9!

[Lex]

We need 92 members as of today to make 10K!!! I'm excited, I've waited for this a good while, a bit longer than planned when Kevin thinned out all the spam IDs, and set back my count, lol.

I guess by end of October for sure, we are at the target. It's a big milestone I think.

[Kevin P]

Maybe I'll wait until we hit 9,999 then I'll do another inactive user prune... :twisted: :lol:

[George Bellefontaine]

Awww, I knew we'd get there. It was just a matter of time. Maybe we'll hit 10K by the weekend. :T

[Lex]

Kevin! You better not do that, I'll kick you with my boot on where it hurts. Let you sing us a little soprano, lol.

[aud19]

Good stuff :T

:rofl: @ Kevin and Doug!

[Azeke]

This is wonderful news!

Peace and blessings,

Azeke

[Chris D]

Well, if I get a little "pink slip" in my E-mail, I'll know what's going on!

[Lex]

72 to go on Friday, 21st!

[Lex]

ok, 60 to go early Monday the 24th.

Edit- 54 to go on Monday night. Nice 6 new member day! I can do this math.

6 8's are 48, so if we can average 6, we got 9 days to 10K!!! WOW!!! :T

ok, new estimate, 8 days to 10K members! Might still take 9, or who knows, may take 7!

[Lex]

25 members to go, as of Thurs morning...

wow.

[aud19]

23 now :banana:

[Lex]

19 this AM, not long now!

[joetama]

[wkhanna]

I know Fred from over at the 'Stereophile' forum, and he is a great addition to our 'family' here, IMHO.

Welcome aboard, Fred!

[Lex]

cool.

11 is the count, 11, 11, 11.

Looks like approximate date of rollover is Monday, counting on pretty much 6 new members a day average.

[Russ L]

10, 9, 8 to go. :yesnod:

[Hdale85]

There are quite a bit of inactive members Maybe they should be cleared out.

[Chris D]

And do we have a special fruit basket or something for our 10,000 member?

[Burke Strickland]

And do we have a special ... something for our 10,000 member?

I've heard that the 10,000th person to join will be able to post on any public forum under a valid member name of their own choosing. (In other words, being a member here is something special in its own right, isn't it?) :>)

Burke

[Lex]

I can think of at least one to clear out Dougie... lol.

8 is the number. Will likely take til Tuesday to roll it.

[Chris D]

Down to 5!

[Lex]

haha Vincent, good short story. Great posts guys, I appreciate you all!!!

I guess the 10K mark means a lot to me because it has been a pretty long road to get here. The days of Mats and I running the board on his machine in Switzerland seem so long ago now. I do owe a lot to Mats helping it get started. Many of you don't know Mats, as he's went low profile now. I've not talked to him in a very long time.

Well, here's hoping the next 10K goes faster than the first maybe. But then again this forum was never about fast growth. In fact, I never really even wanted it to get that big. But 10K we'll take today, and be proud to now say, we're a 10K member club!!!

[George Bellefontaine]

10,000 eh ? Well, why am I not surprised. Hell, isn't this the best damn home theater site in the whole damned world, with some of the best damn members in the whole damned world, and some of the best damn mods in any home threater site in the whole damn world, and the best damned owner ( well, some may question that :P ) in the whole damn world and... oh, well, you get the picture. Now onto 11,000 +.

[John Holmes]

Congrats Lex! I'm glad it has finally happen for you. No doubt, it will only get better! :T

[Burke Strickland]

Unlike Rhett Butler, George B. DOES "give a damn". :>)

I'm looking forward to having 10,000 members who each post frequently so they can all enjoy the fun of sharing information about HT. (It would be great if that turns out to be the same 10,000 + who have already signed up!)
