*watches fireworks and cheers*
go MG, go! I hope to be lucky enough to see the same thread again, only with the word "five" replaced with "twenty".

 

sweet post Bazza
Jaza

 

Thanks, Jazagod.

I wished I could have posted the Excel spreadsheet that I did on members, their membership number, no of posts, when they joined and where they lived.

Cutting and pasting stuffed up entirely, converted it to html, but MG doesn't accept html as an attachment.

I have emailled the spreadsheet to Tim, to see if he can do anything with it. Bazza

Mind emailing it to me for a looksy, sounds interesting

Jaza

 

hey, Jaza, better take that link outta here. Spammers wander around the web like hungry dogs.

 

Too late!! ack, wasnt thinkin! maybe thats why we have PM's
lol
maybe a mod will notice and lose it for me
Unfortunate we need to worry about that.

Yepper...Happy Birthday MG...I spend more time here then any other single site. You guys have pulled my out of some dark places.....Thanks

Happy McBurf day

 

In case new members don't know, and others might have forgotten, place your mouse pointer on your nickname, in any opened thread, and your membership number will appear at the bottom left of your screen.

For example, Major Attitude (co-founder of Major Geeks) is member number 2.

Halo is #8, Phantom is #16, Corporal Punishment is #54, Kodo #76, and Adrynalyne is #96.

These members were among the early joiners in Dec 2001 to Jan 2002.

Woa! I'm 77560!! I'm super new, just arrived last weekend.

I believe I will still be impressed for a long while with what goes on here, which is.... simply so very NICE. A Geekish world where people are authentically suportive and make funny jokes... Never thought it could be so appalling (does that word fit in this context?).

Congrats to MG and actually to all of us, who have been lucky enough to have bumped into it one way or another!

 

Mine doesn't work...

 

Yes it does, you're 5522

 

Never mind I forgot to click, and hold the mouse over the nickname...

 

Welcome Cauca.
Hope you mean appealling. LOL.
Still your English is a hell of a lot better than my (non-existent) Spanish. Bazza

===

 

Hahahahha...... That's so funny!! Man at least I suspected there was something strange there
I guess before you get to know it Geeks could stand for Gappalling!!
Hahahahaha.....!!!!

Thank you very much for the correction and the comment!

 

You're very welcome. Spread the Major Geeks word in Spain. Adios. Bazza

Re: Post over 10,0000 MG (2001-2006)

99 percent of my posting was while I was working.

 

Mine used to work, but not any more. Maybe since IE7 ?

 

Make sure the Status bar is showing/checked ... something like "View/Status". Not using IE 7 but taking a stab at this.

 

Member # 10692 when I position my mouse pointer on your nickname. Bazza

Woo!...Congratulations, M.G. on the first five years of one of the best places on the i-net. Thanks to all those that have, and continue to make it so.

 

Was it you, sibeer, or just a "feature" in IE7? lol. Bazza

===

 

My status bar wasn't turned on. I got around to finding it again. I guess it was just me, Bazza. I truly am #10692.

 

Beat ya. I'm 9614
I thought it must be you.
or IE 7 getting more bad press? Bazza

WOW - impressive numbers - well done MG.

 

Fortunately, I wont join till tomorrow... at least!! Nobody seems to be serious!
Then back to my own era where I belong.
Totally a wannabe Jaza!

Phantom at #16, must have been our first non-USA resident member.
All the way from WA, in Australia (or maybe he moved to OZ?). Bazza

You are correct, Baz. We moved to Oz.

 

Saw the light, huh. Married an Aussie girl? How long in OZ? Bazza
