Much to my surprise, and probably to every naysayer that thought ZHPMafia.com wouldn't work, we've reached 1,000 members.

Our next major milestone is 100,000 posts (which likely will happen this month).

Thanks for making ZHPMafia.com a daily destination.

Onward and upward.

And this contest is now on (from the July newsletter):

Grats to all and thanks to our founders.

Awesome! I'm proud to be a part of this. Congrats to all. Who is member number 1,000?

[johnrando]

:chuck

[anm3itbe]

Awesome job guys. Glad I could be on here for it.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

bimmerman11 was member 1,000.

[static667]

I hope he participates with us a bit. He could be like member number 300...

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Would love if all of the members joined in. We have a lot of members who've signed up but never posted. The trick is turning them into active members. I know a good number of them are lurkers.

[Go Horns!]

This really cool. Congrats! Can we see a chart of # of members over time? I'm wondering what the growth rate looks like.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I'll see if I can generate a chart in the next couple of days.

Woohoo - This is awesome!

Glad to see our small community grow. I lurked on BF.c for a while before actively posting. I hope we make each and everyone of those lurkers feel more at "home" everyday.

That's the goal. Make this a friendly place for the good guys and an inhospitable place for the bad guys.

Definitely need the hash browns. Good call, David.

[johnrando]

Thought about hash browns, went with Chuck. :)

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Can't lose with Chuck.

[Alphatek45]

Dayum that was fast! I figured it would take all of 2011 to hit 1k.
Nice!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I thought, at the beginning of the year, that we'd have 500 by the end of 2011. I was clearly off. Hehe.

[Johal E32]

wow, we got so much swag to have be gaining members so fast!

:shifty

This is awesome, by far this is the best forum out there!! :D

[jayjay_dee]

awesome.... im glad to be a part of this group right before we hit 1K members!!!

[iZHP]

excellent!!

[Oli77]

Kudos to Marc and all the mods for making this place so welcoming and friendly.

Now if someone could explain the hash brown reference, that would help the noob in me.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I have a friend, Mike Widjaja, who details cars in San Diego. The joke is that he'll detail our cars for hash browns (he loves them). We have a picture of him holding two hash browns, while he's smiling gleefully.

The hash browns stand for happiness.

[Oli77]

Ok. :like

Glad you cleared that up because I was about to start searching in urban dictionaries and I could have gotten the wrong translation.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Right. We would not want that! Haha.

[lilcdkey]

I want this grill badge :eeps

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Zaid, some people don't even know what you're talking about (but I do). hehe.

[Oli77]

I want this grill badge :eeps

nono, there is a proverbial hat in there somewhere that Marc is going to use.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

And I will not be pulling it out of the hat. I'll have my disinterested wife do it.

[johnrando]

1012. Leaving 1000 in the dust. And, I'm wanting that badge too. :)

[Ryans323i]

Love the Mafia!

I wonder what member # I am?

[danewilson77]

^Go to your profile.....then look at the number in the address bar.

I think I am 7....

http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/member.php?7-danewilson77

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Ryan, looking at the URL that results from you clicking your profile will not work for you. The numbers, in many cases, do not correspond to your member number. That technique works for some of the early members, though (when spammers were not here and didn't take up member numbers).

You are member 373.

[Ryans323i]

ow man! Missed it by 50 members! Pretty cool though. Thanks Marc.

[danewilson77]

ow man! Missed it by 50 members! Pretty cool though. Thanks Marc.

You're welcome.

[Smilez]

mine says 453-Smilez

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Almost none of the corresponding numbers are correct, Ray. In fact, you're member 99, which is why you are a 1969 member. You made it by one member. Had you signed up a little later, you'd see your real signup date.

[Smilez]

i knew the 453 was wrong. I was sure I made under the 100(thread), but awesome to know i was one shy out of it.

[danewilson77]

Only because I invited him...last minute. You owe me Ray...next time I need brakes. Your OGness is because of me.

[Smilez]

yes it was because of Dane :rofl: I always hook you up.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

As I recall, it was because of Dane. He told me that he wanted to invite you before you missed OG status.

Dane is da man.

[danewilson77]

Well......sometimes...hehe.

[RITmusic2k]

Congrats on the meteoric rise to one-thousandness!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

And we're quickly heading to 2,000 now.

Nice to see you on the site, Kevin.

[danewilson77]

2k by the next family gathering.

HTC Thunderbolt+TT

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Should be close, DW.

[johnrando]

That would be cool. Welcome back special-K, hope all is well!

[RITmusic2k]

Thanks John! Been flying and driving all over the damn place in the last month; it's been a fun whirlwind but it makes it hard to keep up with the forum habit...

[Hermes]

hey Marcus, what member# am I since I have the OG join date? (I'm guessing not 412 like it says on the address on my profile page...)

[Marcus-SanDiego]

You are member 58.

[Hermes]

thank you sir..

[Marcus-SanDiego]

You are welcome, amigo.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

JP, do you know that you've never formally introduced at ZHPMafia.com? You're an OG, my friend. Time to introduce yourself in the new members forum. :biggrin

[Hermes]

I guess I should... time to write on up

[Marcus-SanDiego]

[Go Horns!]

I play fantasy sports on the internet with people I have never met I would not consider them friends, but I do consider members of the mafia friends. Just another reason for the success of the site.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Graham, same here. Just another reason I go out of my way to get to know as many first names here as possible. You're my friends.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Graham, you wanted to see a chart showing our growth since inception.

This is from November 2010 through August 2011. We had 67 members on November 30, 2010. We had 1,119 members on August 31, 2011.

[static667]

It looks to be a pretty steady rise. No crazy exponential equations needed.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Steady growth. Just the way we want it. Eventually we will cap out. I thought it would have happened already.

[Oli77]

How many now? Just curious.

Only 361 far from 4000. :thumbsup

[Oli77]

Thanks for the info, does not bode well for a quick math calculation where only 7 members play the picture game out of 3639........
