T minus 363 and counting...

[Winston]

I just noticed that Apolyton now has 9,637 registered members. It got me thinking, shouldn't there be some kind of prize or festivity for registered member number 10,000?

Of course, we've been through this time and time again: Yes, I know those aren't 9,637 individual people. Still, it seems to be a special occasion when Apolyton moves into 5 digits, so what do you propose?

On the other hand, this may be a dangerous path to tread, risking that some of the regulars will be likely to create 400 logins in an hour or so. But I think it would be worth the risk to arrange something.

Nice going BTW! Last July, Lancer had a prediction thread on the number of members a year from then, and being the cautious person that I am, I predicted a measly 8,236 members.

P.S.: Could you find it in your heart Markos or Dan, to change my handle to Winston with a capital W - at your convenience of course. Thanks.

That's 359 now.


People here are making DLs damn fast!

huh?

[connorkimbro]

I forget the number i guessed at lancers contest. I think the actual number MAY fall short though. we'll see on apolytons birthday.

[Winston]

Ahem...

Down to 294 now.

So how about it?

[TNapoleon]

Down to 288! And counting...

[Winston]

249 to go now.

Do I really have to bump this every time 50 new addicts decide to register in order to get some of the big guys to pay attention to this most important matter?!

This is in many ways more important than all that Millennium hoopla.

[Winston]

It's now down to a mere 163!

The situation is now totally out of control and a major crisis is imminent, unless we think of something to celebrate registered member # 10,000.

I'm sure Nostradamus would have had something to say about this, had he only known that the Internet would come around.

[MichaeltheGreat]

Why celebrate when something like 7,000 of them are DLs?

10,000 real members would be something spectacular, though.

[Rasputin]

perhaps the mods need to get smarter and remove the DL's , you know use clairavoyance or something !!!!!

[Winston]

Only 106 to go now.

If we remove them (as opposed to just deactivating them) we open the user name and mail account to being reused.

I swear there's going to be at least a hundred people making DLs to get the 10,000th one.....

Why... like anybody actually cares
And even if somebody is stupid enough to care, if a hundred people try, it just proves that about 99 of them can't count too well. Only one person can get it, and just by looking at the membership count, it should be easy enough for somebody to figure out when to register to get it
