moonwolf Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Should we do something just special to celebrate when we reach 5000 members like a story/poetry/haiku extravagenza or something? we are at 4908 at the last count what do you guys and girls think ?
Ieshwar Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 92 more to go. I was expecting a celebration thread congratulating everybody. But this is cool too. I'm ok with story, poetry and Haiku. Btw, I don't know if the public is aware but this year we're having GA's 5th anniversary and we're having a special 'anniversary' anthology for this. 5000 members and 5th year... Great, huh? Anyway, it's the admin who are going to decide (thank god ) Take care, Ieshwar

Anyway, it's the admin who are going to decide (thank god ) Take care, Ieshwar I also expected a thread,, The story is nice, but maybe it leaves us not enough time. Actually Ieshwar, I only know about the special 'anniversary' anthology because Tiger told me so. The announcement and the rules was a little to buried in the 200 anthology thread
AFriendlyFace Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 LOL, I rather thought that the "5,000" must be referring to CJ's post count, then I remembered that he was well beyond that I think some sort of celebration is certainly in order! -Kevin

BeaStKid Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 I think that we are doing the Special Anthology with the theme being Anniversaries. The word limit, I think, is above 5k....but there is still a debate going on whether to make it 10k or not. I'm up for a special thing for this feat...congrats to GA for hitting the 5k mark and that too on its 5th anniversary year... BeaStKid P.S There are still 40 more to go, but seeing as I would most probably miss the celebration of the big event, I congratulated in advance...

BeaStKid Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 we are 4940 members in my book that's 60 to go beastkid oops...my bad...
Tiger Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 4,949 is the latest count. That means there are 51 more to go. It will not be long before we reach 5000 members.
moonwolf Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 4,949 is the latest count. That means there are 51 more to go. It will not be long before we reach 5000 members. 4,969 you're right it won't be long now!! in about a 2 weeks top
FrenchCanadian Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 4,969 you're right it won't be long now!! in about a 2 weeks top I dunno, we're talking about new members,, we don't have that many new members per week.. Tho I agree, it won't be long,, I say between 3 weeks and a month
moonwolf Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 I dunno, we're talking about new members,, we don't have that many new members per week.. Tho I agree, it won't be long,, I say between 3 weeks and a month we went from 4908 on the 1st of february to 4969 as of today... so 2 weeks top wanna bet ?
Tiger Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 we went from 4908 on the 1st of february to 4969 as of today... so 2 weeks top wanna bet ? I say that it will happen when it happens. I don't think it will be long. Sometimes the volume of new membership is more than it is at other times. It will be interesting to find out exaclty when the 5000th member signs up.
corvus Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 We should do one of those things that shops supposedly do: "You are the lucky 10000th person to walk through these doors! You get a _____!" Although I can't think of what GA has in terms of give-away-able goodies. Maybe automatic hosted member status? haha... jk.

Being hosted is something to be earned, not handed out on a silver platter.
Tiger Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 I hate to double post, but we are inching even closer with 4,971 members.
C James Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Yep, there will be a special anthology this summer to celebrate GA's 5th anniversary. We're still thrashing out the details in the anthology forum, but it will be themed "anniversaries" and any kind would fit. And yep, we are getting close to 5k!
JSmith Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Actually we've had 6,366 members register so far, but over 1,300 of them have been deleted because they don't validate or their email address bounces

A buncha bells and whistles and balloons dropping! ....we'll probably scare the poor new person so much he/she will run away I hate to double post, but we are inching even closer with 4,971 members. If you really hate to double post you can always edit your previous post to add anything you've forgotten
JSmith Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 so is our count really accurate or not ? I mean do all those e-mails works ? We haven't done an email check in a while so if we did one right now, we would probably roll back a hundred or so. It's accurate to the point of validation right now. Myr will probably let it get past 5000 before he does another one so we don't have to celebrate twice.

BeaStKid Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 4,993 is the latest count. *rubs his hand in anticipation* i will probably miss the big announcement, so CONGRATS to GA in advance!!
Ieshwar Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 He can get free entrance to the coronation of the queen goat. :king: Ieshwar
