We crossed the 3000 members!

Post by Jorg »

Everybody,

I am very happy to announce that we 'officially' crossed the 3000+ members! I say officially, because lately we have been battling spammers that seem to auto register themselves with homepages that range from smut to ringtones and more. Since I have to delete 3 or more of those every day, I will put this board on "admin registering" .. This means members can only join when they are approved. Unfortunately there will be a waiting period when I am not behind the PC (my sleeping hours and other social stuff), so I am sorry about that.

But not to spoil the fun, it's great to see so many users in a relatively young board. We started in august 2004, so that makes us about 1,5 years old.

Keep up the posting!

So did I... :)

I don't want to sound arrogant, but I always knew we'd make it far!
Let's cross fingers that by the 5000th member I'm filthy rich and can invite the mods and top posters for a celebration party :)

Anyway: Thanks for such a great community!

Great art!

Well maybe someday we should organize a get-together, at 5000 members. Considering the speed of growth that would be by next year! And by that time upCASE will be rich and can invite us on his castle...

(and share the secret of how he got so rich ;-)
