1000th Member

[mr drinky]

It looks as if the 1000th member is coming up in the next month or two. How are we going to celebrate?? Are you going to give the dude (or dudette) something special?

Yeah it's crazy how quick this has happened. I wonder when #1000 will hit....Any guesses?

Just based off of memory it seems like 700-800 took much longer than 800-900, which makes sense. I'm guessing last week of October.

 

[mr drinky]

I bet it is around Veterans' Day.

[ecchef]

I'm guessing...right after #999!

I was just wondering: Does anybody know what the usual ratio of lurkers:registered users on forums is?

We can't tell exactly but I can say that about 25% of "guests" viewing at any given time are found to be search engine bots.

 

[mr drinky]

30 to go.

[Mike Davis]

I say for the 1000 member mark, Dave should make us all knives for $20!!!! Ha!:razz::knife:

 

[Keith Neal]

Dave has provided us with such a valuable resource here, perhaps we should all send him $20.

 

[Dave Martell]

You guys are funny.

So when do you think that we'll hit #1000?

 

[mr drinky]

Before Christmas definitely. Possibly in the first week of Dec me thinks.

[Dave Martell]

Only 11 more to go!

 

[tk59]

Where did you see this number? I looked up the member list and it just went to 817...

At the very bottom of the forum index page here: http://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/forum.php

990 members, only 10 to go!

 

[mr drinky]

10 left if you count fake soulfly.

[Vertigo]

You have to count fake SoulFly and the other 287 people who have never posted. Many lurkers, sure, but the majority I'd wager are drive-by signups by crawlers and spammers who capitalize on our easy registration process. Even the bulk of our 1 post users are spammers who drop blog-related links into semi-relevant discussions. 1000 members is no challenge when signups are so easy a robot can do it.

Yeah, I know you are right, but I had to say it.

But now there are only 3 to go -- if you count polishavenger that is who may have added the redirect code

Did you see that? I did it again.

[Dave Martell]

Oh snap - only 1 to go!

[stevenStefano]

Do they get a fancy title under their name then?

 

[tk59]

Yeah, like, "Who am I really?" What woman goes online to a kitchen knife forum and calls herself "babe?"

We sure do have some characters here.

One with a lot of b***s! And :welcome2: Not enough female presence here.

 

[Eamon Burke]
