Wow, 700???

Nate · 2005-09-28T01:48:33Z

It takes most sites at least a year and a half to reach 700 members, if they even last for that long. YWS has now done it in ten months, thanks to the excellent members of this site :D Not sure exactly what is going on, but the number of registered members has really grown since Saturday... it's been almost ten new members a day. I did start some minor advertising for the site, but I started that back in late August and it didn't have that much of an effect. Anyways, I'm hoping to have YWS reach 800 registered members by November 14th, or when the site turns a year old. Looks like we'll definitely hit that number now... Now I'm hoping to have 1,000 members by years end. Of course as the site gets larger, I'm going to have to figure out how to keep the community feel. I'll probably do that with regularly scheduled community events and a more active VIP area. But for now; wow... 700!

I'm #563

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by frost.

Go to the front page. It's on your left, under the heading 'general'.

I wrote the above just for you.

I was member number 52. And 700 members? Are you for real? Are you sure there isn't just a bunch of spam usernames like that one time when all those weird usernames came up

Haha, I'm 9. And *I* thought the site was enormous when I first came...wait, no I didnt.

And jennafina, at the YWS frontpage, go to the sidebar and look for the link that says memberlist to go to the memberlist.

Wow. Cool

Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength.

Whoo hoo!!! I'm the 30th member to join. And the 18th highest poster. Geez, I used to be like, the 3rd highest poster before RANDOMNESS appeared.

when there's nowhere to go, it's time to grow up.

I'm number 108... and I'm the 20th highest poster, but the 10th highest in terms of points! *grins*

It seems weird that I'm number 108... I thought there were a whole lot fewer members when I joined... *shrugs*

I'm #215, but that sounds about right since the site had been going for a good four months or so by then.

I am the seventh highest poster.

I have the eleventh most posts.

Coooooooooooool...
