Wow!

I just saw this:
Threads: 1,060, Posts: 6,048, Members: 963

We're almost at 1000 members! I think AMX should celebrate when the forum reaches 1000 members. Maybe hold a random drawing to give away AMX Gear to forum members. The drawing could be performed by a simple netlinx program that grabs a random number everytime a button is pushed and verifies that the number hasn't been already selected. Maybe say 5 or 10 winners? Top prize might even be one of those leather AMX jackets I recall reading a post about? :)

Just a thought.

  • Wow, sorry I seen Wow and thought it was WoW(world of warcraft) which I am a major addict since my son got me hooked. Hard to believe that the forums have grown to be this big. I have said this before and I still believe that this was one of AMX's best moves in years. This and dropping the PANJA name ;)
  • Thanks for the suggestion! We WILL be celebrating our 1000th member with some giveaways, so make sure to check back frequently for details!

    And I?m pretty sure I recall reading a post where Chip was willing to part with his varsity jacket. :)

    Very impressive since I heard awhile back that there were only something like 4000 AMX cert. programmers,etc world wide.(One reason they introduced duet because there are > 2 million Java guys and girls.) :):)

    Only 11 more members till 1000. Be sure to tell all of your AMX programmer friends about the forum ;)

    Will we make 1000 before the new year?

    Happy 2006 to everyone!

    Happy New Year! (Well, atleast half the country :) ) Looks like as of right now we are two short of 1000 and with only 1.4 hours left until the Continental USA is in 2006, I doubt we will make it.... unless we use Hawaii time :)


    But, regardless.... Happy New Year everyone!

  • Spire_JeffSpire_Jeff Posts: 1,917
    OK, Happy New year USA! (Including Hawaii and Alaska! )

    I missed posting at 1000 exactly, but we hit 1000!

    Quite an accomplishment considering not many people are on this site daily.
  • Spire_JeffSpire_Jeff Posts: 1,917
    I don't want to seem impatient, but has anyone heard anything about the celebration of 1000 members? Since I found out that VA has been delayed until Feb, I had to find something else due a little sooner to anticipate :)

    What about something for the top 10 users and 10 or 20 open draws for everyone?
    Leather jackets, golf jackets, AMX lotus for a year, some tot bags, beer for a year(Canadian pls) whatever the gear store has.

    Well, I can't deny that I may be a little biased when it comes to the first sentence, but I like the suggestion ;) I also like the way you tried to nonchalantly put the Lotus in the list 8) Speaking of which, the Lotus Elise is quite intriguing... cool design and relatively inexpensive.

    No one can ever blame me for not trying. :D

    Thx Jeff- told you this year really sucks.
  • Spire_JeffSpire_Jeff Posts: 1,917
    No can every blame me for not trying. :D

    /me looks up the previous sentence in his "No sleep, but I have caffeine - to - English" translation book.

    I suppose we can't blame you for not trying ;)

    Jeff
  • Thomas HayesThomas Hayes Posts: 1,164
    Thanks for the catch Jeff. See corrected edited post. Is there anything stronger and still legal than caffeine? :o
  • Spire_JeffSpire_Jeff Posts: 1,917
    Still need to change every to ever... and trust me, your year can always be better and it can always be worse. I mean how bad can the year be... you still have internet access and the internet can make anything better :)

    Instead of comparing this year to last year, compare it to a year in which the plague was running rampant. Because good and bad are relative ideas, good can become bad and bad can become good without changing any of the events. All you have to change is the perspective in which you view the events.

    P.S.
    I should stop distracting myself and get back to work ;)

    Thanks Jeff, I believe that I have now corrected all of the spelling issues.
    True that all things are relative to ones time and place at any given moment in the time space aspect. Stress and exhaustion is the modern plague that now ravishes the 21'st century and leads too much of our disease's that are not environmentally caused.

    Top 10? Whoo-hoo, I qualify then. :D

    I believe the reward should be based on quality, not quantity.

    Small talk and complaining posts do not count.
  • jjamesjjames Posts: 2,908
    Agreed

    Agreed, if we were to actually do anything of that sorts. Personally I'd favor random winners over rewards to specific members on the board. However, I would narrow eligibility down to members that have posted / logged in within the past four months or something along the lines. Not sure if it would be fair to draw someone that hasn't visited the board once in the past year, or has never posted and their last login was over six months ago. Get my drift?

    And just to clarify, I was joking about "qualifying" in my previous post . . . hence the smile. :D
  • Funny

    I thought this thread was just for fun. :D

    Now we will see if Suzanne can deliver the goods. :)

    If you need a new jacket, see if there is a Good Will store nearby (good stock of Panja wear I hear) or perhaps your boss will get you one if your latest project is totally bug free. ;)

    That goes for you too, Jeff.

    Bug free? what is that??? As far as the jacket is concerned, it's been in the high 30s and 40s lately... who needs a jacket? :P

    I also heard from a_bird() that Suzanne is diligently working on making this celebration a reality.

    a_bird()? Interesting function. What does it do? ;)
  • Thomas HayesThomas Hayes Posts: 1,164
    Yes, I do agree that a random vote is the only way any prizes should be awarded. I was simply trying to have some fun with my earlier suggestion. In regards to 'quality vs. quantity', I apologies to everyone for being whiny and ranting but I had hit the point of total exhaustion and tend to rant at that stage and now after a much needed 4 hours of sleep I am back to as normal as I ever get.

    Whiny & ranting? Did I miss a post? Like Brian said, this is all in fun. Now . . . time to check the "Gear Store" to see if any AMX leathers are up there. :D

    a_bird() is the nice function, the_bird() is the one you need to watch out for ;).
