50K watch - prize is a copy of SH5

[Onkel Neal]

UPDATE 27/3/2010
Here we go again! 50K watch, we are now at Captains: 46,613 :shucks:

I won't be bumping this thread as frequently as before, but the prize will be a copy of Silent Hunter 5 (unless you already have it and prefer a Subsim Mug and Clock, your choice).

Same rules as before (see below), need a screen of the 50,000 new member. If you miss it, 50,001 does not count. ;)




Closing in on 40,000 signups in this forum :woot:

Subsim Battle Mug to the first guy to post a screen of 40,000 and the newest member, as it happens. No cheating, no registering a fake account, I can tell :)

ROFL, watch it be a spambot.:rotfl2:

[Snestorm]

No Spambots.
Can I enlist Cleverbot?

[CaptainHaplo]

Where can I tell how many people we have and who the 40k person is???

I seriously want me a battle mug!

Edit - nevermind - I found it!

[FIREWALL]

Congrats. Neal :woot:

[Onkel Neal]

Thanks, FW :)

Yeah, keep an eye on that line, once it closes in on 39,991....39,992...then 39,999...someone will register as 40,000. If you capture that screen and the registered member proves to be legit--bingo! You win. Just post the screen capture here.:salute:

[Skybird]

40K is the number of all signups ever. But how many people are currently still active in any of the forums? Just curious. I guess the number of actually active members is 20-30% less.

[Onkel Neal]

No, more like 60% less. Logs show about 40% of all members signed in some time in 2009. And on a weekly basis, about 7200~8000 sign in at least once. Still, not too shabby, I imagine it's normal for all forums.

[Skybird]

Probably. I just would not have guessed the loss-number being greater than 50%.

[Onkel Neal]

Oh sure. Just think how many forums you have registered on, made a post or two, and moved on to other things :03: I bet I have my name on 200 forums over the years.

[SteamWake]

Heh did anyone catch todays birthdays? :O:

[Jimbuna]

Is there a choice of mug design Neal? :DL

No worries mate....the postage would make it unrealistic. :nope:

Unless you've perfected a method for an electronic transfer :DL

hosting must be expensive, as you do not post any ads here...which is very comfortable.

[Onkel Neal]

[Highbury]

Has anyone else checked to be sure this isn't just Rangoon and he lost his password? :O:

[Jimbuna]

How do you view the 'Currently Active Skippers' section....it used to be on view at the bottom of the page?

[magic452]

It's on the bottom of the main forums page.

Magic

Forum Statistics and Birthdays are all I'm able to view :hmmm:

Same here.

You cannot see the two items circled in red?

What does it say in the box for statistics?

[Jimbuna]

Yeah, but not the list of individual participants currently online.

[Jimbuna]

Donate to jimbunas benevolent fund :O:

[Onkel Neal]

Yeah, but not the list of individual participants currently online.

Yes, so you can see the Captain's number when it hits 50,000 and the newest member? All right, you're good to go! :shucks:

[Jimbuna]

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=165&pictureid=1071


No Neal....Steve and I were refering to the list of individual members in the section above 'Currently Active Skippers'.

[Sailor Steve]

At the time I couldn't even see those statistics either, only the birthdays.

I see the basic stats now, but still not the members online.

[Jimbuna]

Oh, I thought you meant..... :doh:

Anyway, we both mean the same thing now.....I think :hmmm:

[Sailor Steve]

.....I think :hmmm:
I don't.

But that's never stopped me before.

[Jimbuna]

I don't.

But that's never stopped me before.

LOL :DL

[frau kaleun]

I misread the thread title and thought for minute that someone was giving away a $50K watch. :doh:

Wha!! :o

We're talking about Neal Stevens here....I've met the guy and believe me, he would never wear anything as cheap as a $50K watch :nope:

[razark]

Congrats to Nokia!

And to Neal for 50,000!

[DarkFish]

3 members too late...

Congrats, Nokia!:woot:

[ETR3(SS)]

I guess I wasn't the only one keeping an eye on that. Congrats Nokia, beat me by a half hour!

[Jimbuna]

Congratulations Nokia http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif


You can go to sleep now :DL

[Platapus]

First Prize is a copy of SH5

Second Prize is two copies of SH5. :D

[razark]

I guess I wasn't the only one keeping an eye on that. Congrats Nokia, beat me by a half hour!

Yeah, maybe if I hadn't had to leave work... (actually, since I won last time, I wasn't trying to win this time. (Unless nobody else won :D))

I wondered how many people remembered this thread. It's been a while since it's been updated.

[ETR3(SS)]

I just happened to notice the member count last night and thought of this immediately. I searched through a years worth of threads in GT and didn't find it. I even used the search function to search for "50k watch" and nothing came up. So when I finally noticed Subsim hit 50k I was just gonna start a new thread...until I saw it bumped up to the top. :haha::damn::wah:

[Sailor Steve]

:rotfl2: I completely forgot about it. Congrats Nokia.


First Prize is a copy of SH5

Second Prize is two copies of SH5. :D
:har: Man, you is SO evil!:har:

[Bleh]

50,005 when i looked :S Well done nokia :) I missed it by an entire day :P

[Onkel Neal]

http://img88.yfrog.com/img88/733/4252z.jpg


Woot! You rock, PM me and I will send you prize! (If you want a subsitute prize, let me know). Great job, man.

Now, I can say "we have 50,000 subscribed members" in discussions instead of 37,000 or 46,000 or some other random number.:shucks:

[Nokia]

:yeah: And congratulations to Neal for 50k + members :up:

Fixed.

[Jimbuna]

The precise number (as of 5 seconds ago) is 50,026.

I reckon "50k +" has a better ring to it :DL

[AVGWarhawk]

Nice job! I was watching as well...apparently not as close as I should have :oops:

[razark]

The precise number (as of 5 seconds ago) is 50,026.

The part that impresses me is the 17 thousand plus visitors in the past 24 hours. Is that number correct?

[Fincuan]

Currently 49,982 registered captains. Neal did some cleaning work eh?

Does this mean the 50k watch is on again? :haha:

[Sailor Steve]

Yeah. I just looked and the number was only 49,984. What's with that?

Well, since there are 2048 people looking at it right now, 1616 of them being 'stowaways', I'm not surprised that that many would visit in a day. Of course some of us log on more than one time each day, so that probably helps.

Quite impressive!

If you can be the first to post a screenshot of 50,000 users. But unless Nokia unposts his screenshot, he's still first. :know:

[Jimbuna]

LOL :DL

Yeah, if you enjoy those annoying Nokia ringtones:O:

[HunterICX]

Yeah. I just looked and the number was only 49,984. What's with that?

I think it's our friend of the SHV Subsim Army of Zombies thread who kept making accounts just to post his insults.

@Nokia: Congratz!

[Jimbuna]

No thank you James...I'm quite happy with the fruit machine (Blackberry) :DL
