You can make the one for 10,000 i promise. Or you can make the one for the chat room up and running.

While i congratulate you on the milestone passed I have to wonder how many are contributing members?
How many 0 posters are included in that number.

Quite afew 0 posters but thats expected with any board.

Yeah a few is always expected but 500+ might be a bit more than a few lol

A cleanup of inactive/0/1 posters here would cut the present user number considerably. I am guessing 80% of the members that sign up here do so for one reason only and that’s to download hacks they can’t find elsewhere. They have no intention of being a part of your board. While 1000 members is something to be proud of it loses its shine somewhat when you realise that 80% of them aren’t actually members. A member to me is someone that contributes and takes part in discussions not someone that sign's up because he has to in order to download then leaves with ought even saying hello.
Personally I think you have a good board here and I will help out when I can but I am sure you see my point 10 active contributing members is far more worthwhile celebrating than 990 0 - 1 posters. (An exaggerated estimate btw)

Well 718 users here are 0 posters, after the first year I plan on deleting all 0 posters seeing as some users regitered so there name won't be taken and abused. Erwin for an example. I don't expect him to be apart of the board, but i do see why he registered.

Im more celebrating the members who have participated.

Obviously if a member has been registered for 3 months and has not posted once, then im not celebrating with them.

But I do thank you for being part of the site and helping people that need help, need more members like you around here.

Edit: Maybe i should make access to the hacks section depend on an X amount of post huh?

Unfortunately no matter what you do as far as limits go people will just do whats needed to get what they want and then leave. There is no fix for that and while x amount of posts might encourage some to get involved it will also encourage spam in order to get what they want.

There is no way to prevent the sign ups just to download I fear.

I do wish you luck for the future with this board though and you can at least say that you have hacks here that are not available elsewhere. My hacks are available here only! (with my consent that is)
