AfterDawn: Tech news

1.5 million posts in AfterDawn.com forums

1.5 million posts in AfterDawn.com forums Last night, 1,500,000th message was posted to our discussion forums, marking yet another milestone on our 7-year journey. It took only 7 months and two weeks to get the total post count from one million to 1.5 million, so that's about 2,100 new posts every day.
AfterDawn.com has now over 536,000 registered members (we get about 11,000 new members each month) and since our launch back in 1999, we have served over 61 million software downloads, almost one billion page impressions and have hopefully managed to help at least couple of our users with their digital video problems :-)

The way some of the threads are going, AfterDawn may hit the 2 million mark by the end of the year.

***Some*** Noobs and trouble makers waste alot of the web space Not reading the rules and getting multiple accounts just to argue more.I saw a guy banned 6 times in 2 days lol. Just look at this link and how many of these guys who think there hackers got banned eventually lol.I saw one where everybody on the thread was eventually banned and there was like 30 people too I wish I could find it but it was closed long ago. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/220945

Half a million members, with advertisements, that translates into making a decent amount of money to keep this site going. I wonder how many people there will be 10 years from now.

Congrats AfterDawn! May there be another 1.5 million posts in your future!

So, it seems like AD's postcount density is growing quite quickly. That's good as long as the majority of them are useful.... Or at least relevant. ...By the way. I'm a pancake.

'Noobs and trouble makers waste alot of the web space Not reading the rules and getting multiple accounts just to argue more.I saw a guy banned 6 times in 2 days lol.' Hey come on. Everybody was a noob once and I have never posted off topic or, to my knowledge repeated a post. In fact this is the first time I've felt obliged to be a 'troublemaker' Don't us noobs have the right to post too?

151.7.2006 11:19

Its alright, I was once a noobie who wandered into the xbox section looking for advice. THe problem is I never left.

161.7.2006 15:12

sounds like my story too :)) I think it was AVI. Thing is I'm still a noob and i've been posting for 6 months but what the hell. It's a good site and lotsa help and nice folk

Here's what is needed to change your status: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/342629 You can check the number of posts you have by looking in the My Account. The tab is at the top of the page. note Safety Valve posts do not count.

Yeah, I wandered in for XBox info.... And yeah. I, too, never left. Although, I think we should enforce a new rule, and I feel that drakshug got it right on the nose here:

That's precisely how to fix this site. We won't let newbies post anymore! That way we'll fix all the problems. It's not like new users in the last six months have anything useful to say! Heck, I joined back in March, and I haven't posted ANYTHING worthwhile... Except maybe the answers and solutions to several dozen questions... Okay, so maybe newbies should post. But, only with prior permission, yeah, that's it. From now on, I, the grand poobah, deem that all newbies must first request permission via post, before they can post. This means that in order to post, a newbie must first request permission from a senior member, which will require them to post for permission first, which in turn requires prior permission obtained via another senior member's thread post! VIOLA! lol. In all seriousness, I welcome (most) new members here, because everyone needs a chance to put in their two cents, and on occasion, they stick around to be very useful!

Why do you people have to be judgemental. What's wrong with people, noob or otherwise posting anyways.

204.7.2006 12:32

Theres nothing wrong with newbs posting, we were all there at some point, just lately alot of newbie posts have been "I blew up t3H 1337 B0x0r5" or "HELP ME MODZ!!!1111!!"

214.7.2006 13:20

Ha ha. Hell mate. a lot of us noobs have a lot of experience with comps. Mine goes back to my BBC b. I'm here cos it is the best place to come for help but my posts have mainly been in help. Anyway since my torrent site got it's servers back I've been too buy there to post here. All hail Karagarga

225.7.2006 13:59

Oh sorry about that you guys.I should have been more specific.I should have said "alot or some" because it looks like I was saying all noobs and that wasn't my intention at all.My bad.I have edited it. I help alot of those noobs too.Some noobs don't read the rules and post something offensive or post something that has been answered a 1000 times.Trouble makers are the folks that break the rules and resign up and just keep getting banned.There not all bad either.I got one on my buddies list lol. @thekingo7 yeah that's what I was trying to say lol.
