100 to go

[jjjnettie]

At this moment there are exactly 4,900 members of IIS.:eyepop:
I wonder how long it will take to reach 5,000?

[AlexN]

I doubt it will be too long Jeanette...

[Ric]

Hi Jeanette, I think it will be before the end of the year.

Cheers

[Matty P]

It is amazing how quickly 900 members have joined IIS. Only 6 months!

I'm with Ric, IIS will have 5,000 members before the end of the year. :)

:thumbsup:

[Kevnool]

5000 just in time for xmas.....cheers kev.

[Bassnut]

There are 4998 astro nerds in Australia, thats it. 5000?, no chance :D

[GTB_an_Owl]

trust me !

it will be before the end of the month

geoff

[xstream]

I'm with Geoff.
It will be by IISAC08!

[Starkler]

I wonder how many of the 4900 have disappeared, ie not posted anything this year :confuse3:

[h0ughy]

it will happen sometime- - maybe soon

[Ric]

Just noticed as I was logging in, only 96 to go.

Cheers

[Jen]

:2thumbs::2thumbs:

:wink2:


:clap::clap:

[jjjnettie]

Can you imagine how many threads you'd have to sift through if everyone posted?:eyepop:

[AlexN]

lol... I have trouble keeping up with however many do post :D

[GTB_an_Owl]

an average of 6 new sign ups a day we need

come on you lurkers - present yourselves

geoff

[AstralTraveller]

It will be touch and go. There have been 15 additions in 3 days.

[iceman]

We need a nice new celestial event like a comet or a total lunar eclipse! :)

[Ric]

I thought you might have had something planned for the Astro Camp Mike.:lol: :lol:

There's always a chance of Eta Carinae going SN, but that would wreck the dark skies. :doh:

[iceman]

I think most people would be happy to put up with that, Ric ;)

[AlexN]

Mike, If you offered the skygods you soul they might just give you the SN :D

[leon]

I have actually done that JJJ, ;) have to admit not every single one, but sadly out of the nearly 5000 members, that have joined up since it's beginning, there are well over 1300 :eyepop: that have never posted at all after they joined up, and just disappear. :shrug:

Gee's you can see I get bored sometimes when the clouds are about :lol: :lol:

Leon :thumbsup:

[iceman]

That's not surprising.. a lot of people come and go through different hobbies.

Interestingly though, i've seen some people with zero posts who are still active, regular readers and visitors to IceInSpace - they just don't post. And equally, there's people with hundreds of posts who we'll never see or hear from again.

The trend is heading in the right direction, that's the important thing. :)

[leon]

I'm not complaining Mike, even with what you have explained when it comes to members, this is still a top site, and the 4000 odd that regularly post will keep me happy for a long time.

[GTB_an_Owl]

so you reckon we have "Professional Lurkers" then Mike :lol:


or just a few people that don't have keyboards ? :D

geoff

[Jen]

:lol::lol::lol:

C"MON guys you know ya want to :D

[GTB_an_Owl]

15 days to go - we need just over 5 new members a day

keep em coming folks

geoff

[gmbfilter]

How many members have multiple personality disorder? :rofl:

How many have been tempted to create a new log in entity at some far distant computer, untraceable, mysterious, anonymous?

Confession is good for the virtual sole as well. :screwy:

[Jen]

:lol::lol::lol:

[Kevnool]

73 members in 12 days i,m watching with interest....cheers Kev.

[GTB_an_Owl]

5 a day we need

65 is the total we need

come on all you 40 odd guests out there at the moment - sign up

help us reach 5000 members by the end of the month (or earlier)

geoff

[Ric]

They are all waiting to be the 5000th member Geoff.:D

[GTB_an_Owl]

so thats the problem you reckon ?

well - they need to know that the best prize is - just being a member of this great community

sign up you lot - sign up

geoff

[GTB_an_Owl]

C'mon folks !

we seem to be STUCK on 62

we need a good influx

sign up!

geoff

[Whizgig]

Well I did and I'm very glad that I did, best info and resources anywhere on the net and the best friends as well. Thanks to all of you members I hope we make the 5000 so sign up everyone!

[oziemouse]

Of course, many of those guests (like me) may already be members - they just don't automatically sign in. It's pretty obvious by the date-joined how long I've been hanging around these fabulous pages :)

[GTB_an_Owl]

we're still stuck on 62

not much hope of reaching the target now methinks :(

geoff

[GTB_an_Owl]

yes, well that thought never crossed my mind Steve

thanks for bringing it up

geoff

[GTB_an_Owl]

thankyou Matt

[iceman]

Don't sweat it Geoff, we'll get there by the end of the year and it'll be just as great a milestone then.

[GTB_an_Owl]
