10,000 Members!!!!

[AB]

I culled most of the spammers on the forum the other month which was a solid 3000 or so....Nightmare job!

Most forums have shiploads of members but majority of those figures are spammers or bots so I'm excited to say that we are about to hit our 10,000th """MEMBER"""".

I think were at 9,987 so lucky 13 or more to go folks!

Great milestone to achieve as we had that problem with the cashloans members (which funny enough most forums have) but we culled them and the figures above are almost spot on to the true membership's here....

[macca86]

Go us whoo

[GUtsy ute]

Well done AB,
Looking forward to welcoming the 10.000th Member.
This is a good place to be!

[Winnie]

Bet ya never thought this place would get this big hey?
10,000 people is a lot to keep in line so good job to AB and his team of lackeys!

[AB]

I was going to post another milestone but I'll wait until we actually hit it...LMAO

Last month we had a record of 92,500 visitors to the site so I'm hanging out for the 100,000 visitor per month statistic milestone too.

That's big numbers....Most forums would average 50,000.....4wdAction are around 500,000 so not bad for a specific vehicle forum only 2 years old in my books!!!

[the ferret]

And THEN, will we all get a slab??
Well done Andy, I've had my eye on it for a while, won't be long.
Cheers, the ferret.

[healy]

Nice one Andy it's a bloody good forum

[CUROUND]

Well done Andy. It's a great forum, though I've only hiy the surface.
I look forward to contribute. It finding time to get some stuff together...
Cheers...

[the ferret]

9992 and ticking woohoo!!
Cheers, the ferret.

[Woof]

Remember these posts, this one was posted by DX Grunt (Ross) on the 21st July 2010...we would all get so excited when we hit another 100 users online...LOL

HIP HIP HOORAY X 3

Foundations, foundations, foundations ...

If you're gunna build a home, the roof is the least of your concerns at the outset - its getting the foundations right. You certainly did that, with a few key people involved from the get go who deserve a big thank you from us all also.

So to you AB and your band of "original" merry men, I thank you for your efforts, your resolve, and your ongoing dedication to provide us with a 'virtual' place to hang out with mates.

[MudRunnerTD]

Been a slow day on the forum! 1 new member today. Still need 6 members to make the mark!!! The stress will do my head in! Will we ever get ther? Have we got something worth joining? Just can't tell! 9994 members in 2 years is about 15 members a day, we have had a slow day.

Damn! Is It all over? Ummmmm??

Nahhh!

Whoever gets the number should get a special banner/sig line.

AB will you be able to tell who the member is when we hit 10000?

[Steve4wdin]

[2TROLLFAM]

what's "Loan Members" & "Bank Members" ?? (yeah yeah I'm having a blonde day)

[nissannewby]

Easy lads take a breathe :p

[NissanGQ4.2]

what's "Loan Members" & "Bank Members" ?? (yeah yeah I'm having a blonde day)

they are fake member names set up by spammers or bots, its an advertising thing, but not sure why they do it because there are no links to any websites,

I'm sure AB could fill me on why they do it

[MudRunnerTD]

what's "Loan Members" & "Bank Members" ?? (yeah yeah I'm having a blonde day)

Spamming Auto Bots that join every forum, some on auto pilot, and post intros with links to banking and loan sharks companies. Apparently the Internet is full of them.

Viagra members are huge too but we let them in, Lol fringe benefits ;)

[nissannewby]

But none of these have any links, so I don't see the point as its not really advertising anyone in particular

[AB]

Its a new way of spamming I think...lol

It's quite clever really....The forum moderators/owners don't ban them because they dont know about them because they don't post.

They put up links to their businesses/websites in their profiles which Google does index and they get a small benefit to their site in question.

It's hard to explain...lol....Ok Imagine you cured cancer and started a website about how to do it. You would get a million/trillion websites linking to your site showing how to cure cancer.

Your site would rank number 1 for "how to cure cancer" because you have a million/trillion people pointing links to your site mentioning how you can cure cancer.

So...

Links to bank loans, cash loans sites on a thousand websites...If someone types into Google "cash loans" or "bank loans" or Fast loans, etc then by them doing this on thousands of forums their website will rank higher then it would of if they didnt do this.

Above is a half assed explanation and there are a zillion other algorithms and ways to do this but that is the basic explanation.

[2TROLLFAM]

Rightio .. Thanx .. and hmmmmm Viagra?? Maybe the snoring Braddie Bacon beside me could use some of that ?? LOL shhhhhh don't tell him I said that - I'll get me tap turned off.

Is there a way to find out what member # you are???

I'm just glad I wasn't 181 or the other number - you know! 181 is the metric equivalent of 69!! lmfao

Oopsey ... has 717 crossed the boundary?? Will 717 face infraction 234 and be banned for 10 days??

Stay tuned for this, and more exciting news at www.nissanpatrol.com.au

The last member to sign on is "Normanas" and they are 12213(The No of Persons who have joined the Forum) however AB and the Mods have deleted quite a lot of Spammers. There are spammers joining all the time so the figure I quoted was the No of Members at the time of my Post.

My No is 846 and all that means is at the time I joined I was the 846th to Join but there were not 846 members at that date as some had been deleted

Perhaps AB can explain it better

[taslucas]

Ahh cool. So do we know who is lucky 10000?

Tap, crackle, pop

[AB]

And the lucky 10,000th member is....

Cash_loan_123.....Lets hope he becomes a valuable contributor....LMAO

I'm not sure It's possible to actually find out who the 10,000th is as the numbers are around the 13,000 now because we culled the spammers they still got allocated a number which makes it hard.

[Bob]

According to me one of the following is 10,000th member. They joined on the 5th Sept the day the count exceeded 10,000
