Over 250,000 forum messages

21 September 2003 8:54 by Petteri "dRD" Pyyny | 18 comments

We just wanted to announce that yesterday we reached one of those big milestones that we've set for ourselves and now we have more than 250,000 forum messages in our discussion forums.

We launched our discussion forums in their current form back in February, 2001 and since then, they've grown and grown to reach the current state where we get total of over 700 messages a day to our three main discussion forum areas, English forums, Finnish forums and DVDXCopy forums.

Our main English forums have appx. 150,000 messages now and other two forums have 50,000 messages each. Forums have currently 84,000 registered members and over 50,000 discussion threads.

Thanks for you, our users -- without you, we wouldn't have achieved this!

Hands out party hats to everyone WHOO HOO!! YE-HAA!! I bet you that half a million will be coming up soon!! Afterdawn 4EVA!! And **** the RIAA!!! WHOO HOO!! When you are on your deathbed, you will wonder, "Did I waste my life? Was it worth spending all that time on that?" Do not despair, no one has wasted their life. After all, you can only waste something if you throw it away. And you can't throw life away. [ + quote]
