10,000 Members!!!

[Dos_Box]

What can I say but WOOT!!!!! Or as Shaun just put it to me 'Ding'!

 

We went from 5000 members 12 months ago, and 2500 24 months ago. Gordon Brown would like to see these type of growth figures at the moment I'd bet!

[sparkeh]

Congrats!!

 

Now, who won the compo

[ZeroHour]

The sites a big beast now

It has been a lot of work but gaining 5000 members in a year is impressive.

 

FYI our 10,000th user is:

[ChrisH]

So 20,000 by next year?

Nice figures, but how many are ACTIVE ?

Nice figures, but how many are ACTIVE ?

 

Like has been said many times before, we dont care so let that be the end of it. I have explained why we dont care (like a LARGE amount of forums/sites) in other threads and the reasons against wiping users etc and I am not prepared to debate this again. We may do something in the future about REALLY REALLY old accounts but thats only a *maybe* for now.

 

To draw a line, no more of this "active" junk debating this point, enjoy the stats as they are and be happy at that

 

EDIT: You may have been referring to the "Active" stat at the bottom of the forums index. If it was I am sorry but I thought I would nip this debate in the bud before it starts again. That stat currently is 1,570 members.

Well done guys keep up the good work

Basically, it means that 15% of our member ship is permanently active on the forums. Many just register to sort out a single problem and then lurk, or register and use the rather spiffing search function to get answers without even taking to anyone.

Anyway, as Shaun said, that's quite enough of that. 10,000 people saw a reason for signing up to us!

I wonder how many are women?

[elsiegee40]

I wonder how many are women?

 

 

You know I've often wondered... that's the trouble with posting names... you can't tell someone's gender under they choose to admit to it.

 

Its's probably better that way... but I'm still curious!

What can I say? There's definitely a need for this place. I still remember googling a situation and came across this site in the top few sites on google that had an answer, I clicked the link, had a look at the article, and it described perfectly what I needed to do and someone else had already brought it up on here. I noticed "the educational IT professionals' life line" at the top, and thought I was in heaven, having just landed the Network Administrator position for one of the district high schools. To this day, this place provides the most helpful support I've EVER seen for educational related software, system setups, etc.

 

Thanks guys!
