500 Members!!!

[LiNuX]

The forum has finally hit 500 members - thats Half a Thousand and we are that much closer to the next best thing.

It has been logged on October 8th 2007 so I am gonna say this is a pretty lucky day since this is the day I have finalized and updated the Arcade and we have just hit the huge landmark of 500 Members.

Thank you all for making that possible! The 500th member was the 32nd member of the month.

Good job to the forum, here is to another 100! :D :yes: :radar: :spinny: :wub:

[bronco]

who was number 500?

[Jasperking]

Woot! finally lol. We was stuck on 499 yesturday and it was annoying XD. But we finally made it

[LiNuX]

who was number 500?

mmocrazy - has one post - looks a bit spammy but its a real person lol :D

yea we were stuck at 499 for too long, now we are at 502 already - the past 4 days in a row averaging 3 members a day exactly

[Scott]

That is great. This place just keeps getting more popular!. Hopefully by the beginning of next year we will be at 7 members a day!

[Jasperking]

I think when linux makes that CS server we will get 7 members a day easy :)

[LiNuX]

i wish i could "make" a server for cs lol, i gotta rent it, im looking at new offers now and i know u were there jasper in the irc channel when that guy made that ridiculous offer to take my money lol

i've contacted several companies and im testing their servers and etc.. i'll try to speed it up and try to get it by october, just need a bit more $$ to secure in server for several months

anyone insterested in paid admin package lol :D

[Blackbird]

Yeah make a CS server and BF2 server and we get people here in no time. :D

[LiNuX]

lol BF2 servers cost about twice as much :/ cant afford that right now since i have to pay for it all myself but like i said before if we can work something out with this one cs server then we can move onto other games and other parts of the world :D

[Blackbird]

Well, I don't think they cost twice and I think they cost exacly the same. :)

[LiNuX]

no lol, i've checked trust me, Battlefield 2 servers cost a lot more - CS1.6 and CSS servers cost the same in most companies

[Jasperking]

lol i thought CS:S cost abit more in companies than 1.6 since 1.6 is a cheaper game and easier to host.

[LiNuX]

actually they cost the same but if u read the stats - source servers are a bit slower lol - in tick rate and fps :/ but source servers require less fps anyway to play smoothly

[Jasperking]

I was on a source server today lol. It had 100 tick rate and i had 16 latency :)

[LiNuX]

nice lol - i was a texas 1.6 server today ping was around 30 or 40 :D

[Jasperking]

Well i havent tried 1.6 but i dont think the ping rates would matter in any game. But as you said the fps matters though

[LiNuX]

yea its for smoothness of server when playing cuz when more people enter the game looks choppy and stuff. So i want to get a good and decent amount which is over 150 or 200 fps. cant have people complaining about that cuz i wont have physicall access to the server to fix it

[snipeshootergal]

[LiNuX]

[LiNuX]

[Blackbird]

Well, How long have this forum exist? :D

[Metallica1983]

alright the big 500 woo this is great hopfuly we will get 500 more ill try to advertise and reccomend this site to others the best i can

[Jasperking]

Dont forget sometimes it is not allowed to advertise on forums.

[LiNuX]

Well, How long have this forum exist? :D

since may 2006 - but officially the date for domain was late august of 206


Dont forget sometimes it is not allowed to advertise on forums.

thats true so follow all rules, dont need people spamming our forum name all over lol. dont need a bad name! :mask:

[Jasperking]

Maybe we should make a list of all the forums that dont allow you to advertise other forums? lol. Gamespot is probably one :p

[LiNuX]

not necessary lol, its better of posting forums that do allow it lol :-P but then we'd be advertising for them - i'll let them do their own site work lol

[Scott]

since may 2006 - but officially the date for domain was late august of 206May 2007 Wow I thought someone said at least 3 years, but I thought more than 2 years wasn't possible, there just isn't enough members of posts for this place to be over 2 and a half years old

[LiNuX]

i have to correct and say 2006 lol - wrote 206 by mistake - typo

this forum was first my clan forum - only a few people came on here and were actually allowed on here - we had our members and cs fans on here lol then i left the clan and didnt want to shut down forum or anything so i took it from there and made it to gamers forum a few months later in august -

im taking forum age from the day of first member registration and first - was late may - gamers forum - the official news of that was released a day before my birthday on august 28th - it was my own present to myself lol :D

[Jasperking]

lol own present to self eh. I remember when u shown me the old forum. It looked really bad XD lol but it was only a clan forum anyway

[LiNuX]

lol yea, i havent shown u the conversion of i though or did you already see? the smf version

yabb was getting us from 5-15 members a month - smf from 10-30 - and vbulletin like 70-80 a month - i wonder if there is anything better than vb that can bring in double that lol

[Jasperking]

lol i love this new forum though. The Skin and design is just ace. I dont think there is anything better

[LiNuX]

you can thank fattat for some of the images on this forum because they are custom made by him including the header and logo :D and favicon lol :D but most of it is custom coded by me including the sidebar and some of the extra's on the forum footer - yay for the forum

i actually have another skin i am working on at the moment, it'll give all the members a choice between this skin, the default one, and the new skin. I have to finish the coding and installing mods on that one - the thing is that it doesnt always work :(

[Joshuah]

I will start getting more people on my referal link, and also can you get a list for referals so you know who you've refered?

[LiNuX]

I will start getting more people on my referal link, and also can you get a list for referals so you know who you've refered?

well you can request the list - so far the most a person has referred is 10 and thats GF Eric - you can request a list when you hit 10 referral count cuz if ur gonna ask for it everytime you get a referral, it'll get annoying for me since im the only one that can get you the list lol

remember that referrals only count if the person has made 10 or more posts - your referral count will go up in ur profile but not on my list

[Scott]

I can't get people to join because the forum I'm on is bigger and they don't see the point in joining. The only member I know I got to join was Ghost....

[LiNuX]

thats because ghost is the man lol, oh well the other members will join when they have no choice and we will give them no support from the staff :-P hehe

[wifi]

nice job lol 500 members is extraordinary for forums :D keep it up :-P

[diablo]

niceee woorkkk forum

i was here before there was 50 members and now its multiplied by 10 :D

[giga_girl]

congrats guys!!!...good work...!!!..i will also recommend this forum to my friend..

[Jasperking]

Well we a slowly getting away from the 500 members lol....here comes 550 :)

[LiNuX]

we dont look forward to half a hundred anymore lol - so here comes 600 :-P

we are averaging over 4 new members a day so far - twice as good as last month by this time

[Scott]

521 now! and a lot of the new ones are active!!

[Jasperking]

yeah thats pretty good although we didnt get many posts yesturday because you wasnt on lol

[LiNuX]

we still went above average lol - we already beat last month's post count by a whole lot

and as for members - we are still averaging over 4 members a day, you think we can hit 100 total members for this month? we still need about 55 or so more in the next 18 days
