Title: Who will be the 10,000th new member?
Post by: sonar2000 on September 07, 2014, 05:23:09 PM: Just checking some stats and I see we are at 9970 members. Wow, a long way since Robert started this forum. Thanks to all who have been a part of the great forum and the contributions to the topics.
A big thanks to all who have financially contributed to the forum so that it keeps on "keepin on"...

OK, so who will it be for #10000. :P ;D >:D

Can I sign up again using a different name? Is there a prize?

Another important item is that HB Greg is closing in on 6,000 post and you just past 4,000. Thanks to both of you. Also, thanks to Robert for starting this.

Title: Re: Who will it be?
Post by: newkid4si on September 08, 2014, 11:19:08 PM: The reason I ask about the prize, which was just in jest, was a local hotdog shop recently sold their 1,000,000 hotdog.
The prize to the lucky person was free hotdogs for the next year. A neighbor figured which day he thought it would be sold
and went there SEVEN times that day for a foot long hotdog. No luck. It was sold the next day. He said that was OK because it
would be a year before he could look at another hotdog.

My doctor would have a fit if i won such a prize - because I would make good use of it!

10,000 members... WOW!

Post by: sfw1960 on September 09, 2014, 12:15:20 PM: Tell'M their just those "mini cocktail weenies" so it won't seem so bad Greg!!!! ;D
Title: Re: Who will it be?
Post by: Humminbird_Greg on September 09, 2014, 12:54:00 PM: He would probably faint Robert: all that salt, fat and nitrates! All the things that make hotdogs and sausages in general so good to eat.

What would be an appropriate prize for the 10,000 member (and don’t say cocktail weenies!)?
Title: Re: Who will it be?
Post by: sfw1960 on September 09, 2014, 04:24:40 PM: Cocktail weenies in BBQ sauce??? LOL!!!!!!!!!! >:D
Title: Re: Who will it be?
Post by: 5eyes on September 09, 2014, 05:18:35 PM: The 'prize' should perhaps go to Robt. , for having the foresight and patience to start this for all of us!! KUDO'S too you. sir. Thank you. 5 :)

I will have to settle for sm0ked vienna sausages though...LOL!!! ;)
Title: Re: Who will it be?
Post by: Humminbird_Greg on September 10, 2014, 12:51:59 PM: No doubt with BBQ sauce!

Title: Re: Who will it be? 10,000th member?
Post by: RGecy on September 11, 2014, 01:11:01 AM: Well, I have thought about this day for a while! I don't think its fair that we only recognize the 10,000th member since so many have joined and contributed over the years.

So here is what we are going to do. I have a few prizes I can give away and I think we should do a couple things. First we will have a prize for the 10,000th member. But I would also like to have a blind drawing from past members as well.

Then there is the select group of regular Charter Members who donate each year. I would like to have a blind drawing for them as well which would give them an even better chance at winning since we only have a handful. So if you haven't renewed your Charter Membership or have never been a Charter Member, now would be the time to do so!

To become a charter member, click on the "Become a Charter Member" button at the top right on the Home page.

Or click here. Become a Charter Membe (http://forums.sideimagingsoft.com/index.php?action=profile;area=subscriptions)r

And finally, I think we should have another SI Image contest next month now that summer is over and everyone has some great pictures to share!

How does that sound?

Robert

Post by: newkid4si on September 11, 2014, 11:08:25 PM: Robert

I like your ideas. I vote "all of the above".

Also do a refresher on how to become a Charter Member. I think more might participate for the benefit of the website.

Post by: newkid4si on September 17, 2014, 12:09:07 AM: It's about midnight on Tuesday and the count is 9995. Why do I feel that someone is sitting at the computer watching for the opportunity to pounce
on 10,000. They need to keep in mind that we have members from around the world, so while it may be 4:00 AM where they are, it's noon somewhere else.
Title: Re: Who will be the 10,000th new member?
Post by: Humminbird_Greg on September 17, 2014, 10:36:13 AM: 9,996 this morning (or afternoon, night for some of you)...
Mr./Mrs. 10,000 may have already registered but not activated their account through e-mail yet like Robert said.

I must say, I'm really excited about this! ;D

The 10,000th member and one of our existing members drawn at random will be receiving a Humminbird Hat and T-shirt. Only worn twice with very little sweat stains! ;D.

Just kidding! You will be able to select the hat and T-shirt from the official Humminbird website.
