When I joined in 2004, I was member 6671, a complete n00b
and I fell in love with this place right from the start.
Back then NP was known as "that other" forum,
where the members were helpful and unselfish,
like that was a bad thing. NamePros had / has a soul.
Well brothers and sisters, look at NP now.
All grown up, still helpful to all, and "#1 with a bullet".
Thanks to everyone along the way that contributed to
what has always been an outstanding community.

​

Peace,
Cyberian

I'll be posting the rules & THE PRIZES (YaY!) within the next week or so.

Sorry for the delay, but we're working on putting the best prize packages together.

This is no April Fools Joke
We are getting close to start time so get your predictions ready.
Mgmt & Admin have allowed me give a little sneak preview.

Included in the prizes will be..... drum roll please...
Tickets to NamesCon 2018

​

They are still working out the final finals as to the rules, start / finish dates and prize packages.
If you're keeping track, you can get a picture of approx. how many joinups a day / week / month.
Keep in mind there will be a limited window (unknown at this time) to make your guess, and each member will only get one, so start looking forward.

I'm excited, how about you?

Peace,
Cyberian

Just realized there were 809,749 members who joined after me....

Holy shit!

Time flies....

 

[baseballworld]

Does it count if we get a business account since you can have 2 then? Those count towards the million still?

think i was 52,061 to think how time has flown from nada to a top member.

Yes

 

[baseballworld]

I might have to do my part when it gets close then. Take one for the team.

 

[MapleDots]

Having run many forums myself I can tell you there are tons of bogus or duplicate accounts. Lots of closed accounts and usually half are inactive accounts.

If you sell a forum you need to have accurate numbers of users who have visited/posted in the last year.

Having been on this forum for only a short time I see lots of closed accounts etc, so the number is probably nowhere near an actual representation of active users.

I am not arguing the accomplishment, it is a phenomenal achievement but it is still good to have facts.

I stated facts and I would love to see active users. Almost all forum software now allows you to display active users. That would be an interesting number to know when deciding if I want to advertise on namePros.

Peace to you too brother!

 

[briguy]

Having been on this forum for only a short time I see lots of closed accounts etc, so I guarantee the number is no where near accurate.

Kinda stating the obvious..Forum full of current/previous forum owners/admins/mods, plenty of webmasters etc that have to deal with "bots" it just part of the business!

Anyway you are entitled to your opinion just like I am to mine..Have a great day, eh!

Guys, I am not trying to argue....
I am just saying it would be nice to know active users. Even getting to 100,000 of those would be an achievement few forums have had.

If a newspaper says they have a million subscribers, they can only count the people still subscribing. They cannot count all the people who have ever subscribed.

So I am not belittling the accomplishment, its still a heck of an accomplishment. It's just an inside webmaster response because as we valued the net worth of forums we based it upon current active users. Active users allowed us to quote accurate information to advertisers as well.

So please continue with your excitement to your countdown, I am also rooting for number 1,000,000

Might be a better place to ask for facts, but it is possible that the information might be confidential..

If you haven't noticed, our advertising spots are full. The stats they care about are all shown on Quantcast for the world to see. In our experience, paying advertisers are only interested in numbers that matter to their business/marketing: https://www.quantcast.com/namepros.com

Let's please stay on topic. This thread isn't about 1,000,000 perfectly-verified accounts with driver's licenses. It's about a registration number.

Thanks,
