Anyone notice that we're about to have 150,000 registered users on DU?

[The Backlash Cometh]

Should happen at any moment.

[Atman]

1. Correction: 150,000 user registrations.

Nowhere close to 150,000 actual users, though.

.

[agoraphile]

6. It's probably 3 or 4 thousand

at any given moment. :-)

[Lasher]

2. We have exactly that number right now.

Thanks for the heads-up.

[donheld]

3. We've passed 150,000

and I didn't even hear bells and whistles going off. :grr:

[Iggo]

4. It's a very clean looking number, dontcha think?

:toast:

[villager]

5. What was the number when other people signed up? I think I came in at around 20,000

Why, it was just a "small town" back then!

[Journeyman]

7. Couple of hundred -- most are gone now, it seems. . .

[The Backlash Cometh]

8. I came in around 11,000

[jaysunb]

11. I remember celebrating 5,000

Time flies when you got a good thing going. :thumbsup:

[The Backlash Cometh]

20. DU is my scream pillow.

[jaysunb]

25. LOL !

:thumbsup:

[Iggo]

15. No idea.

I lurked here from around the time of the '06 mid-terms (oh, how the tide was turning back then...remember?). Then I finally signed up in Sept '07. But I didn't even see that number up there until much later, so no idea.

[The Backlash Cometh]

21. It wasn't an easy sell for me, either.

I refused to fall for ANYONE's crazy propaganda. But, what finally did it for me was that DU was the only voice of reason, and it was an escape from the real crazies.

[XemaSab]

17. How can you tell?

:shrug:

[The Backlash Cometh]

22. Look somewhere on your profile. Can't remember exactly where.

[SidDithers]

19. You were 22491...

You can check your profile # in the address bar, and subtract 100,000 :)

9. I'd be interested to know how many we were back in Spring of '01...nt

[Odin2005]

10. I'd say 2/3 of them are trolls and sock-puppets.

[FightingIrish]

12. I've been watching that all week

I hate it when I miss a big number on my odometer and I must have been looking the other way this time too. We're getting awfully close to 50,000,000 posts too.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

13. just hit it...

150,000 user registrations and 47,336,997 posts since January 2001

14. Break out the champagne.

Another milestone for DU. :applause:





I love this place.

[Canuckistanian]

27. Wouldn't it be freaky

If #50,000 was just OMC trying to get back in?
:hide:

[lpbk2713]

28. I tend to think he has a few other screen names.

Ever notice how some his off the wall posts get enough recs to go to the Greatest Page?
I always thought that would be the most likely explanation. The Admins can match IP addys
and weed them all out eventually.

[Canuckistanian]

31. He'll never return to his former "glory"

His mission in life was pissing people off while staying just barely inside the rules.
He'd be spotted soon enough.

[SidDithers]

16. Some over and over again, apparently...nt

[imdjh]

18. Between that and 2012, surely it's a sign. 150 1 plus 5 is 6!6!6! 12 divided by 2 is 6!6!6!

[elocs]

23. That 150,000 probably includes dead DUers as well as those who haven't been here in years.

I wonder what the population of my city of 50,000 would be using that method?

I also wonder what the number of active user may be since I really see the same names over and over.

[AndyA]

24. 150,001 now, according to the stats. n/m

[Yuugal]

26. Do they count all the progressives they ban? nt

[Sebastian Doyle]

29. or the non-progressives, for that matter

Such as the recent pizza delivery to a certain Queensryche fan who never had a remotely "progressive" word for anybody.

[Yuugal]

30. Is that the band?

LOL, I knew that name from somewhere but silent lucidity kept coming to mind. Maybe the same disc. I don't remember anything of what he wrote, maybe I didn't agree and just moved on. I was already threatened by a mod on my thread today just for having a view. I just donated yesterday but I doubt that would stop a business, which is what DU is, from canning me because I won't conform.
