Ha, I can tell I've not been the only person watching it the stats roll up on it. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

We'll need a "100,000th post party" in here. Wonder who the lucky poster will be???

Aack, that's true, A.W....there's no longer a "number of posts" indicator when someone posts. I'd forgotten about that.

Ah, well, it doesn't matter, anyway! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Only slightly, dear. However, it's probably best not to encourage rampant posting. It'll come sooner than we think! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

We switched over to this new forum in March 2001 officially. That is when Gen Con was opened.. the Blue board didn't have a Gen Con.

Also, nearly 4000 members since then too.. We HAD 5000+ members on the blue board, but when we switched to this software, the member accounts could not be converted over -- all the messages WERE though.. so we started from 'zero' again. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

It might be. I think the one who gets 100,000th post should be Ziroc or one of the moderators. Agree?

We could celebrate it by sending me cheetos and beer.

I've got the fireworks on my domain that I always use for special occasions here at IW. It would be nice to get some more animations, more tailored to IW specifically, though.

Man, we have a lot of milestones coming up: Gen Con's 100,000th post, IW's 250,000th post, and our 4000th member. One can't say we're not thriving! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

And for the new members:
"JOIN"
