We are about to hit another milestone at iboats...50,000 registered members on these Forums. Give yourselves a hearty congratulations for all the terrific advice, help, friendship and support that so many of you have given to so many people! <br /><br />Who would like to guess at how long it will take to get the next 50,000 members? We should give the winner of that some kind of a prize when it happens! Maybe a prop or a custom boat cover or something. :D <br /><br />BV

Wow, 50k! If we had a convention and everyone showed up, we would need a football stadium!<br />Could you see the harbor, filling up with Iboat members?

That's great, bv. <br /><br />But I wonder how come mystery member number 50000 hasn't posted yet. I wonder if he or she even knows that s/he's even the 50000th member of the forum. Maybe they're waiting on you to announce prizes. ;)

Isn't Lambert field an airport? Only a complete idiot wouldn't know the name of the stadium where the packers play.

Re: 50,000 registered members on iboats!!!

April 6, 2006 is when you will reach 100K. That is my guess. Part of me wants to say sooner because good news travels fast, but part of me says later because there can't be that many more crazy people in this world, can there? So we will compromise. 4/6/06.<br /><br />EDIT: Okay, you want time also - make it 12:27 am.

Believe it or not, I will be here at iboats when I am 80 years old. At that time there will be over 1,000,000 members then. <br />When there is a good thing going, it only gets better.<br />Thanks iboats. :D

As of now (11pm) the count stands at 50037. 20 hrs ago it was 49982. Thats roughly 3 per hr.<br /><br />My prediction: 100,000 on 27th November, 2005, 4.30pm.<br /><br />Aldo

Re: 50,000 registered members on iboats!!!

I'm serious about the prize to the person who guesses the date and time that is closest to when we will actually hit 100,000 members in our Forums. So we'll keep track of your name and your estimated day and time.<br /><br />To make this more fun, let's get specific on the prize. I'll commit that the eventual winner, when we hit the 100,000 members number, can chose one or more items that we sell in our online Marine MegaMall...currently 102,000 marine accessories, parts and nautical gifts of all kinds (that's 374,000 SKUs at last count)...with a total retail value of the first place prize of $500.00 (US ;) ). So...first place is worth $500.00.<br /><br />And let's also have a runner-up second place winner with the prize value (at retail) of $250.00 worth of iboats-offered item(s).<br /><br />And let's also have a third place winner with a prize worth $100.00 (at retail) worth of item(s) he/she wants that are found on iboats.<br /><br />To keep this really fair, let's also say that there can only be just one entry per person...and once you have entered your date and time you can't then change it later on. Lastly, let's say that this contest will only run through the end of this year...2004...to keep it fair, since as we get closer to the 100,000 date it would get easier to guess when the date will happen. So...this contest ends at midnight on December 31, 2004 and we will then watch and see who the three winners are! To win you must tell all of us your estimated date and time of day on this post....no emails please! <br /><br />Now...how's that for some fun?! :D <br /><br />Let's face it...we love our iboats Forum Members!!!! <br /><br />BV ;) <br /><br />P.S. We'll also pay the shipping costs for the winners prizes, and as usual there is no sales tax on anything you buy at iboats! :cool:
