Horray! Way to go BBB! *raises glass* Here’s to 40,000 more! (I’ll say that when 50k rolls around, too ;))
Wasn’t it this member? Or someone else?
July 27, 2006 at 5:54 am #148907Jeff HesterKeymaster40,000 BigBlueBall fans… I love those milestones!
The 40,000th member was korren at 9:51 PM PDT.
As always, welcome to all our new members.
July 27, 2006 at 6:55 am #148922sarahtownyMemberWay to go! That was a nice surprise to have my morning coffee with! Excellent well done BBB :0) And a warm welcome to all those new members.

gah. i’m horribly off on my days, apparently. i thought wednesday was the 27th. my bad.
durrr…
July 27, 2006 at 1:09 pm #148940PolarBearNPRParticipantWell, my predictions for who would post how many by the time we got our 40,000th member were only so-so:
RabidKitten didn’t reach 1,800 posts (but she was gone and we missed her)
Tigerblade did reach 3,000 posts with no trouble
Oreo was oh-so-close to reaching 2,600 posts
MrEggSalad reached 1,000 posts quickly
hatedjealousy didn’t quite reach 900 posts
And I, of course did reach 100 posts through lots of posting to the introduction areaWhat fun, and what great milestones we are all striving for. Here’s to BBB for making a difference in the lives of 40,000 folks who come here for help, support and friendship.
July 27, 2006 at 2:22 pm #148947drainMemberCheers, my friend.

Heh…I coulda sworn my watch said “7-27″….but as I see now it is only the 27th. Well, YAY! 40,000 members, that’s great 🙂

Tigerblade: Yeah i figured that at first, but since Ryan mentioned 28th after you also, i was beginning to think i was the one on the wrong day here. 😛
As for BBB reaching 40,000, just goes to show how great it is!

this information was gathered from the Member List (which isn’t updated every time a new member signs up). it assumes that each page on the Member List is 30 members long and that the information provided is accurate. the Member List said that there were 32429 Members on the forum last night (now it says there are 32458). i calculated this last night but didn’t have enough time to paste it.1605 (5%) “Members” have “Last Visited” in the past 30 days (from June 26 2006 to July 26 2006)
1208 (4%) “Members” have 10 or more posts
18387 (57%) “Members” have 0 poststhis wasn’t really a scientific deal. i just sorted the member list by “Posts” and then by “Last Visited” date. after sorting i counted the number of members (number of pages * 30 members/page). it doens’t take into account members who have “Last Visited” in the past month AND have ten or more posts. that would probably be more intresting to see. it doesn’t matter how many members bigblueball has because there are always ~1000 people hovering around (according to the front page of the forum). that is a great feat.
July 27, 2006 at 8:45 pm #148908Jeff HesterKeymasterTruthfully, the number of active members is probably right where it should be. Statistically, a small number of of members will ever post, and a smaller group still will post regularly. That’s true of virtually any community on the web, but especially so with a community such as BigBlueBall. Because of our tech-oriented support focus, most people only come here when they’ve got a problem to solve. And that’s ok!
In fact, the biggest group of people who visit BigBlueBall are guests. They do a search, find a link to BigBlueBall that answers their question, and happily go on their way.
In any case, reaching the 40,000th member is a significant milestone, and it’s been my pleasure to interact with as many of those 40,000 as I can (well, most of them anyway). 🙂
July 28, 2006 at 1:19 am #148934BShink21MemberWell I was way off with my prediction. *Shocking*;) Way to go BBB! I can’t wait till we reach 50,000. That will be awesome.
When we hit 50,000 members BigBlueBall will be over the hill.:D (If you catch my drift.)July 28, 2006 at 8:46 am #148937Tea GrannyMemberWow! That 40,000 number was hit fast! It is a good thing I don’t gamble with real money… cause I was way off!
I think I’ll stay out of the 50,000 member guess!

March 26, 2007 at 4:10 pm #148941Leapy LeoMemberI predict we will reach 50,000 on August 9th, for no better reason than it is my birthday, but I suppose Sarah will need to start a new thread now!
