Wow! I'll be darned.... The forum is 50 members off 2000!!! :biggrin: At the rate this forum is growing, it wont be long until we're there!

It's great that some members who previously left, and were missed, have come back and that this forum is growing all the time. Salutations to people who don't post so much... but who read this thing on a regular basis. There are some truly funny moments here... look out for BadManner$, jewels, Nerdy and Facey & TempusFugit and many more...for the best giggles. I don't think that breaches the 'name and shame' rule. A rule, that thankfully, other than the odd doink who chooses to register and mistakes this place for a 'name an admin who banned you for good reason' site, we haven't needed recently.

Life isn't all flowers and butterflies, and this forum is a reflection on that because it has people with differing opinions who are all allowed a say. I'm proud to say that for the most part, we manage to do this without any trouble and the greenies do a great job of keeping order. One of them in particular sent me a pm in reply that was so hilarious I nearly fell off my seat laughing! He knows who he is. :razz:

Anyone can join here... it's also publicly viewable and you only have to look at the introductions threads to see that new people are made welcome. The iSketch admin who post here are to be commended, they always do their best to help. Again, they know who they are. BB *cough* BB. As we near our 2000th member, I'll be quite proud of this little online community.

I think we should celebrate this very illustrious occasion when it comes upon us! I have no idea how... hmmm... any ideas? :razz:

oh wow nearly 2000 members, perhaps the 2000th member could buy us all chocolate fudge cake:razz:

How about once we have reached 2000 members, see if the 2000th member will join us, and as many forum members as possible for a few games of isketch.

Would be nice to see if we could get a record for the most isketchers in one room, (although I believe cyber stands at around 80, but that was chat only).

I feel once we have reached 2000 we need a speech from Peter, oh, maybe Peter could put up some forum dec's like he did last halloween.:razz:

/me blushes lol . Just do my best to answer problems where possible

Congrats to the isketch forum nearing 2000 and thriving.

ps: couldn't go without a mention that msn isketch is nudging 4000 :razz: but so many innactive members *sigh*

Hmmmm, user ID 2000 will hit before there are 2000 members :twisted:

http://www.isketchforum.net/member.php?u=1964 <- latest UID as of this post

/me congratulates the forum for having so many members and such a great, friendly online community.

Oh, I have an idea. I demand pizza from everyone. Not for everyone! :D Deal? I might even share.

How would you know something like that, jewels? ;)
And it sounds like a great idea to get everyone together.
With Pizza. XD

/me whistles innocently..
Congrats to your group too, for reaching nearly 4000 members. :)

Oh yeah! Let's have a 2000th member party! I wonder who it will be? Hope it's someone fun :)

LOL just had a thought, what if the 2000th member is someone who joins the forum just to post that they have been banned from isketch:eek:

lol, jewels. That would be funny. Well, not funny.. err..

/me wants the 2000th member to join with the name '2000th member'.
And is anyone else having difficulties saying '2000th'? :embarrassed:

I think we ought to throw them back if they are not nice, and wait until we catch a better one :P

Nerdy, how strangely coincidental that you should say that! You are not the only one who has trouble in this area - the whole of Germany shares your problem as is represented here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StIP4EJB15I)

*cough*megamember*cough* :razz:

I think we ought to throw them back if they are not nice, and wait until we catch a better one :P


Oh yes, because members are like fish =P

Just wondering, was anything special done for the 1000th member? I do think there should be something for the 2000th member though. Just not sure what.

So which is it, member number 2000 or the actual 2000th member? According to my calculations, i believe member #2013 will be the actual 2000th member.

13 people have been banned, and they don't count towards the number of members. i was trying to figure out all the people who were banned... i think i'm still short one.

The figure is a bit misleading in the way that at least a hundred spambots signed up before the 'anti-spambot question' was put in place. Although they signed up most of them make it past the e-mail verification. That's how I know :biggrin:

The concept is still good though! Lol.

I'm sure most people will agree with me on this but I don't think it's really fair to give anything to anyone just because they signed up at a certain time. The same prize would be a lot more fitting in the hands of a large contributor to the forum. Maybe something for the debate forum...

who says we need a reward? i think it's reward enough, just being able to post here and talk to members that live across the world. pretty damn cool, in my opinion.

EDIT: 35? wowie. geez, i can only think of 12. xD

Well, when you go to 'Members List' the last page says there are 1584 members in total who show up in the members list.


I don't really think it matters though! The bot invasion has made the forum what it is today, so let's just have a big party at 2k!!

Yeh, that should be the truest figure to go by I'm afraid folks :(

I reffering to Deadpan's post in my previous post, my interpretation of it was kinda "give something to the 2000th member". Maybe that's not what s/he ment - I dunno...

Ohhh I didn't mean give something big or anything (like special perks or whatnot). I just thought maybe a nice thread or nifty title (2k member) for the person.

So what happened to the 380 that are missing? Who are the 380? Member's list does not reflect the banned and the deleted, but there can't be that many can it?

I feel once we have reached 2000 we need a speech from Peter, oh, maybe Peter could put up some forum dec's like he did last halloween.:razz:
as jewels said, some decorations or something.

Ok it was a bit of a rush job ( and i'm not the best artist in the world ) but how about something like this. We have some brillant artist's on the forum if Peter agrees why not turn it into a competiton, but remember we may not have much time left, members are joining every day now. :razz:

edit: omg, now looking at it, I feel embarrassed, my zero's are all wonky

LOL ty tasha, but my free hand art leaves alot to be desired.

Here are some aready made ones

I'm with the idea of having an iSketch party on the actual game site at 2000! Another marathon? :twisted:

and a competition sounds cool, like jewels said, I think. Design a banner?

How about we all think of 1 thing that we like about iSk and the forum, and we can have a list of 2000 things lol...

Wowee... I have been out ALL day (buying a new dress for a Summer Ball this Friday - poor Mr. TF :razz:)! I can't believe that we are celebrating almost 2000 members!

Buffers me darling.. I don't really contribute that much!! :embarrassed: Do I? :eek:

Jewels... your suggestion about a party room sound great... as does a competition.

Oh.. and if anyone is interested.... I am officially member No. 13 :twisted:

/me flies off and buys yet another ball gown (much to Mr. TF's dismay) to celebrate the upcoming 2000 celebrations!!

Edit: Ooo.. and don't forget that one little forumite was granted special permission to create another account for when he acted as Cupid!!! So really... that needs to be taken into consideration as well!!!

TF hun how do you find out what number member you are hun like you said your no 13 ???????????????????

TF hun how do you find out what number member you are hun like you said your no 13 ???????????????????

Go to your User profile, the link there will have digits at the end, and that's your golden number.

e.g. http://www.isketchforum.net/member.php?u=63 <---- me = 63

What the mighty light sabering greenie said :razz:

As a rough calculation.. I reckon we should have our 2000th member in about a months time. Out of interest, I wonder when we had our biggest influx of new members... was it at The Beginning or was it during The Great iSketch Meltdown?

:razz:

/me can think of a few other acronyms :twisted:

Buffers <<member 23 :biggrin:

I am 63. You are 23. That makes me 40 better than you! ;P

Member 1685! Aw, such a wee baby...

I like the idea of a world record attempt of numbers of players in one room. Marathons are SOOOOOO last week ; )

2000 members... wow seems like i didnt join that long ago...

Not sure what member number everyone is using for the 2000th member, is it how many members to date or how many have ever signed up ?

numbers are getting nearer
I think someone did say the overall total of members, if that's the case we are only 8 away

http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/1927/numbershd9.jpg


edit: now 7 away if using overall members

oh my


1998th member has just joined

Well it looks like THIS (http://www.isketchforum.net/member.php?u=2000) is our 2000th member.

Welcome and congrats on being our 2000th member - unless I got it wrong in which case I take back the congrats and just say welcome.

Oh great, brill, fantastic.
If BM is right howdy to our 2000th member, and also if hes wrong hello to you but without the balloons, and we take back the streamers ect.
No party, no cake, no pressie just plain old junior member lol, phewwww.

Apparently we'd have to work out how many members have left/been banned first and subtract that from the total members for a more accurate figure. So our 2000th member may not be our 2000th member... if that makes any sense. I think Peter would be able to work it out if he has the statistics.... but I'd hate to ask him to do the maths if he doesn't have to, lol.

AHHH yes that makes sense, i dident even think of it that way, cheers buffs babe:razz:

I don't think there is any math involved - just go to the member's list and see how many accounts there are :) Banned users don't show up there.

We currently have...

1610

members

Thanks Vik! :biggrin:

So yet another premature celebration? I remember the 1000th member - that turned out badly!

Glad the forum is so popular though, with about 100 members visiting every day.

So I only have set up 390 fake accounts and I win a prize? I'd better get started :twisted:

*lends a hand to rusty, we can split the prize :P

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y271/aurora_rose2005/2007members.jpg

/me jumps up and down!

Ooh! Can we have a party? Can we have a party?

in short, no :P

We haven't got 2000 registered members yet. Something about going into member list and counting.

Super huge bump ;P

Anyway, NOW we're actually nearing 2000 members! Heh I wonder who the 2000th member will be.

/me starts making multiple accounts to work his way to #2000

Heh joking of course.

omg, so we are! yay, party! party! 8 members to go. we're getting like a member a day, so we ought to be there in approx a week...

i nominate nerdy to organise it coz she's had experience with her wedding and all...:p

4 more members

2

what's the plan

2000th member: msxhawaii

welcome to the forum ms.2000!
