    What is it? :D

    Impressive milestone...and you've probably pawned an equal amount of "wannabe" sites, too. ;)

    No, most of them registered their domain names before us and had the idea way before we did. Their genitals are also much larger and they are just simply better people, just ask them! ;)

    hahaha...nah, already enough hot air in Florida as it is. :D

    Actually, I meant to say "spawned", not "pawned" in my post above, but you got the idea. ;)

    My favorite is the one that claimed to have an unlimited amount of money to spend, but has a PayPal link in the lower right corner for donations...

    Incredible, amazing achievement!

    I was thinking the other day, what ever happened to that competition for the amazing PC?

    We lost the auction, price got too high, the orange one was at 6 or 7,000 at one point and we just couldnt swing that for a giveaway.

    You know, I really hope this 50,000th member isn't one of those *sign up once then leave* kind of people.....

    That'd be really sad....

    But 50,000 members is a great milestone!

    Congrats to MG for the 50,000+ members. It would be interesting to know the timeline progressing from 100 members, 1000, 5000, 10,000 , etc. Your fame is spreading and being spread by enthusiastic MG members. Congrats again. :) :cool: ;) :D Bazza

    You're welcome.

    And you don't have a choice, you're not allowed to go.

    Once you sign up here, you're trapped.

    Escape is futile, the security mods will get you. :)

    Major Attitude joined 12-11-01. I assume he was #1or #2. I joined 03-09-04 and I was just over 10,000(I can't find the exact number now). So just over 2 years to reach 10,000, and another 2 years for another 40,000 if my dates and math are correct.

    Numbers are weird, we cleaned out unregistered members a while back, plus people who ask to be, or get deleted, to track the actual 50k mark, so we have to go with the live number. In reality, we probably are closer to 60k.

    Same here. I want the Geek shirts, the KoL shirts and stickers, and a.....well, you get the point. Being married, or with someone, is like being a kid again. gotta ask for everything or catch hades.:)

    LOL, CP you've got a lot to answer for. :)

    Next rotation, I'll do a timeline of numbers, dates and famous contributors. For example, Halo is number 8 and has nnnnn posts, etc. We should see the the exponential (don't you love that word) expansion of MG. 10,000 took a couple of years, the next 40,000 took a couple more years. By 2010, there'll be ?????????????? Bazza

    I don't know what I am doing wrong, but "hovering" does not work for me to see mine or anyone elses.

    Hovering doesn't work for me either gal, but if you click on a name and then view the u=XXXXX number in the title bar of your browser, that is your "membership number" if you like :)

    Make sure you have the Status Bar enabled.

    It's under the View menu (at least in IE).

    By my reckoning by the year 2042 every person on the entire planet will be a member of the forums. After that, who knows...!

    Yep, and I look pretty aged for 16, LoL! ;) (Life has been hard!)

    I use Opera (also Mozilla based), and 'hovering' the cursor on the user pic. works for me.
