Looks like the 4000th user just registered here - aptly named iSwitch. And I guess we'll see some more increase in the next days and weeks ... (hopefully not only from spammers ... Free T1g3r!!1)

We've been extremely pleased with the growth of this site over the past year. We've seen a steady increase every consecutive month. Not just an increase in new registrants, but the number of unique members that keep coming back continues to rise. So we're retaining visitors, which means we're doing something right.

Our one year anniversary is on the fifteenth of May

The third friday of every month at 11am.

Wow, has it been a year already? Nice.

4,000 members.

That's very cool, considering the rocky, unplanned start and the fact that some folks are still harboring grudges about it all.



It's been a year and everything/everyone has moved on...get over it or beat it. Pick one.

My little message of outreach and understanding to the disaffected and put-upon

[Luca]

That actually means that on average, new members join at a faster rate than the rate at which any one member posts. Even Brad. Quite impressive.

OK - make that hard work to keep 'Nova up & running

[scratt]

So if I joined 3999 times are all the rest of you a figment of my imagination!??!

And who is the other 1!?!?

[Brad]

Me.

And I'm not just one person; I'm 3,634 people posting as one. That's how I got such a high post count. No mortal could really post the much in less than a year.

[Wrao]

woot! 4012 users now!

Congrats to the AN team!

Great site - stylish design and well maintained/moderated.

Looks like you've been duly rewarded for following through with what was once an ideal. More power to those that took the chance.

[alcimedes]

LOL.

I think it had more to do with an unexpected boot in the ass, but it worked out just fine.

[Mac+]

Well, you know what I mean alc. Once the shit went down, you guys came through. More power to you.

[atomicbartbeans]

Wow. I joined in January and I've been nothing but impressed. Great forum.

[flail]

I also have to congratulate the admins and mods for establishing and keeping up a great forum.

On the topic of member numbers, the only thing I don't understand is the amount of members that join but don't post. I may be mistaken, but I didn't think there were any advantages to registering save from posting and replying to threads. If you click on the amount of posts in the member database there are a plethora of them that have zero posts.

[scratt]

Hey flail,

They are lurkers... Whooooooooooooooooooooo

[holbox]

This forum is done as close to right as possible.

I've learned a lot!

Thanks ............

[Franz Josef]

now 4040 - 1% grow in 2 days. What does that compound to over 6mths!!

Logging in also gives the user the advantage of knowing what forum/threads have been read and which have not been read since the last visit.

Though I only post about 10% of the time I visit, I sign in all the time I come here since I find disconcerting a bunch of lock icons on the forum's front page.

Congratulations to AppleNova on passing the 4000th member milestone in less than a year. It can be attributed to the staff and members.
