i'm too lazy to see what member i am, but i joined yesterday... so i'd say i'm probably member 9920 or something. *shrugs*

Andrew Mcveigh · 08-03-2002, 12:58 AM

K, I CHECKED. 9963 is my number, man i'm new.

Wow.. from the days of the Blue Board till now I never thought we'd grow this big. I remember celebrating 4k, 5k, 6k.. and every time there'd always be someone saying "wait till you get to 10k, then you'll know what unmanagable means"
Its the big one indeed! Most boards with this many members end up in anarchy. Its a testament to our tireless Ziroc and his Mods that we're still functioning!

Oh yeah.. member #176
just for bragging rights [img]smile.gif[/img] Okay, now Saz is gonna bust a cap in my ass for bringing up the whole member number thing again..

I don't want to put a dampner on things, but I think it does matter how many members are active and how many are not.

Congratulations are in order, yes certainly, but what's the use of celebrating 10,000 members if a percentage of them are non-active cadavers?

Nothing personal guys, just my opinion, that's all.

Even if the vast majority of them are inactive, we can still use their dead accounts as pinatas to celebrate the coming of the 10,000th member. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Here's hoping for a nice guy/gal.

Melusine · 08-03-2002, 10:56 AM

Well Grimslade, I absolutely agree that a lot of the accounts are probably inactive. I think it's a symbolic celebration more than anything else, maybe you should look at it that way. [img]smile.gif[/img]
