10,000 members!

Okay, I guess some one who has been a member at Mac Forums for a decent amount of should post this, but I'll do it for the mean time.

Mac Forums now has 10,000 members as of November 28, 20006.
I am happy that the forums have gotten this far, and has also helped so many new and experienced mac users/ people who are thinking about switching.


I understand if this gets locked/delted as I have only been part of the forums for 2 months and therefore may not be worthy of addressing this great event. Also this might be in the wrong forum (actually I know it it) but I cannot post in the community forum.

Also, this would be better off in community announcements if any one would move it there. (see above)

Yay! Thank you for helping us recognize this milestone. Very, very cool!

Wow, thanks for pointing this out Jay Ray!

I think this calls for a celebration! First one to the Bar & Grill!

Agreed. I am glad he pointed it out. Good Job Mac Forums!!!

This is indeed great news! Congrats to all that have shaped this community. Much better here than some of them out there. :girl:

Quite an accomplishment! Thanks for pointing that out.

And the best part is, that's 10,000 active members. We go through each month and delete any dormant user accounts so those that are left are truly contributers here.

While a few other boards may look like they have more members, in reality they don't, they just don't prune their accounts. We'd probably have about 30,000 if we didn't do that .

Thanks to everyone here for helping to make Mac-Forums such a great place and keep spreading the word to help us reach 20,000!

great news !

mac forums is very helpful and has helped me in many things. i also enjoy helping other people if they have problems.

cheers !

Is there any way to tell who the 10,000th member is?
They should get some kind of mention, surely?

Look at the member lists, and sort by "join date" I think that will work.

Congrats. M-F !

10,000 members, that is a good number to hit especially when the rolls are actively pruned.

hey schweb, how old is Mac Forums, BTW?

I believe mac-forums started Oct of 2002.

Im glad this forum countinues to grow! I truely love it!

thats great! I've almost been here three years, and I've always found this forum a very helpful place. Its great that we have so many helpful members and 10,000 active members. Congrats Mac-Forums!

Just for full disclosure....

A few days ago we did have 10,700 members. Then I pruned (hadn't done it for a few months) and we went back to 9,800. A few days later we were past 10,000 again.
