4444 members!

I just looked and CPF now has 4444 members. A lot! And a cool number! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

And I remember a while ago when we were waiting for 3000 members to come around... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif

Wasn't that just last December?

Seems like just yesterday we were still waiting for Member #1000 to show up. Guess I'd better flush the trophies and put away Photoshop. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

I'll bet the 4444 number won't last a day.

It's a shame though that it isn't a real representation of how many actual members CPF has. For instance... we've had members re-register because they've forgotten their password, because they don't like their username now and can't change it, because they screwed up their username and/or email addres, because they've been banned and try to come back under a different username... 5 times!, and so on and so forth. It would be cool if we could do something special for the 5000th member but seeing as how (s)he wouldn't really be the 5000th member, it just wouldn't seem right... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Can't you clear out at least some of the accounts that haven't been used in a while?

I won't delete any profiles. It's kinda neat for me to see an occasional post from someone who registered way back in 2000.

IlluminatingBikr was right, it is now at 4446 members.

I'm getting 4451 members about a day later. 7 members joined in 26 hours. At that amazing rate, which doesn't happen much, CPF will have 6809 members in a year. I suppose that could happen, but it's probably more likely we'll have closer to 6,000 members in a year. Wow. That's a bodacious amount of flashaholics! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I wonder what percentage will stick around and do a post every now and then. When I joined it was only because I wanted to buy a CPF special from a dealer. Then I asked a few questions, got a few answers, and was hooked.

I lurked for several months before I joined. But I had been hooked on flashlights since I was about 5. The only thing that has changed is that I am hooked on better, more expensive flashlights now.

Wow!!!

I was a lurker starting around the 300's and finally joined as member 700. I was trying for 666, but I was gone for a weekend and missed it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
