Congratulations AF!

Earlier today Automotive Forums .com reached the half a million mark in registered members. Congratulations on reaching this milestone.

I wonder how many of those half million are active members?

about 5

Do spammers count?

Where is TS with the exact number :icon16:

What a shame we've probably banned 100,000 already.

Goddammit,
I just got this, "site is under heavy traffic" page.

500-thousandth member is an asshole.

Haha! How many people were here though and now never post, people that posted once, or spammers. # main catergories. I almost fell into the first, but then for whatever reason...I missed you guys.

Damn, I think I joined with less than 70K. Surprisingly the same people that were the main members then are still around. Some have left and other replaced them.

Never thought I'd ever have stuck around any forum for this long, but now I'm an active member on a few others. Luckily that has dropped....easier to keep track.

:popcorn:

You guys crack me up

"500th member is an asshole"

Quite a milestone indeed. Congrats AF!

Congrats!

I dont suppose there is a way to check wich member number we are?

apparently holding the mouse over your username. but that doesn't work for me.

There is. View any user profile and it is accessed by the member number
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/member.php?u=<user number here> (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/member.php?u=<user number here>)

Your browser is screwed up. :p

That used to work for me but noticed lately it hasn't. Thought maybe through the changes and upgrades made to AF over the past year or so, that option was done away with.

huh? You can't see the URL for your own profile? :screwy:

I can see it. Any chance that you guys are using Firefox or something other than Internut Exploder?

Yes. I'm using Firefox.

When I go to my profile, the URL is http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/member.php

huh? You can't see the URL for your own profile? :screwy:Ok, so I am member number 470,799? Sweetness.

Okay, opened a Internet Explorer browser and placed the cursor over my username. This time it revealed what my member number is (232082). So apparently it works on the IE browser but not Firefox?

13950!!! Boo-ya!!! Back when Pure Honda was still around.

Member 6914
:icon16:

Who're the first 10 members? Off the radar or are they still around?

142,325 here

Where is TS with the exact number :icon16:If I were to really give you the numbers, it will fill up this page. :icon16:

What a shame we've probably banned 100,000 already.Close but no cigar. Actually not close at all. :p So far we only banned 3823, which is quite low considering the size of AF. Its just a testament that we do have very good members that don't get out of hand.

Who're the first 10 members? Off the radar or are they still around?The names have been omitted to protect the innocent :lol: , but let me say this, the first 10 members haven't been around for quite some time. But whats amazing is that the oldest member still active (# 14) joined back in Dec 2000 and only made one post but yet is constantly coming back to check and read up on AF. Must be shy with only 1 post. :iceslolan

member #19 also joined at the same time but has more posts. But hasn't been back since last June.

It isn't until we get to Member # 28 that we have a member that joined in Dec 2000 has over 400 posts and is still active to the present time.
(I should make him a mod) :grinyes:

Then we get to the oldest Moderator/Staff member Gripenfelter (# 52). Older than Igor. Then again everyone is older than Igor. :lol:

TS out (hiding from Igor)

Lol...yeah, i remember some of the older ones. Heck, i remember when i first joined there was someone that came back and I wa slike who the f$%^ is that!?!

I gotta be the only non mod that's still active in this part of the forum.

#577 here.

have you been back long or have I just over looked you? Cause i just came back like...yesterday. Maybe the day before.

I've always been around.

I'm so confused...Mr less than a 1000 number.

hes been here off and on, I have noticed him post every once in a while.

SHHHH! One more strike and he's gone for good.

sweet justice...

I'm member number...

30,017

So looking at 00accord44's profile, he joined in December of 2001, is member 8081. So in about 6/7 months 22,000 people joined. Not bad, right around 3400 people per month.

Now looking at 2.2's profile, he joined 2 years and one month later than me, and is member 203,785. So in that time around 174,000 people joined. That's approximately 7,000 people per month. HELL YEAH AF!

Oh, and since 2.2 joined there's been what, another 300,000 people almost. So in that 2.5 years we averaged 10,000 new people here, each month. Amazing.

I don't know about the rest of the newer members, but I joined solely because of 2.2's posts. They were so inspiring...
:)

I koined because if a problem with my buick...I think. I dont think I planned on staying, but I did. Like the title pic says...May Cause Dependancy...

This has got to be the best site on the web!!!

I suspect that by 2020 90% of the world population will have joined AF, and AF will rule the world. Igor I'd like control of Nigeria please.

Well you're just the opposite of a post whore.

Looks like I'm 72564, so I'm relatively O.G. compared to the numbers now.

I realized I have 2 referrals, is there anyway to see what they were about? I'm curious to see what I got ratted out for.
