Five Hundred
By .ed. Monday, 12. March 2007, 02:10:29
I have to be honest, I was a little worried soon after I had posted The Challenge. I even txt'd a few people saying "I either just made a big move, or a big mistake for N+" Because it wouldn't look very cool if we had, say 20 people join in a few weeks and had only a handful of new Members by the end of March. Instead, we had over 200 additional members join N+ and MyOpera in about half of the time I allowed. Bringing us past the 500 Member goal several weeks early! Awesome.
The Surge
Just asking people to spread the word seems to have had the greatest effect on numbers. The other was people joining who realized "I've been reading N+ often, but never realized you could join" some, partly because they were using the RSS/Widget function, others because they have very tiny eyes. Let's take a moment to make fun of them.
The Support
Usually the N+ Moderators are the ones that get credit for what's going on here, but you know us. I'd like to take an hour or so to gather a bunch of html together to honor a few people that you may not know are responsible for why you're a part of something that is going to be huge soon.
Founder's Badge
So, for our N+ Founders, paste the whole code below in your about page, in comments, signatures, other profile pages, MySpace, blog, sticky posts, etc. to show that you are one of the first 500.
Thank You
To everyone that has joined, helped, supported, linked, shared, shown, subscribed, spotlighted, bookmarked, favorited (word?), and read N+ helping us reach this first important goal. This is just the start.
Objection!
Is everybody ready for The Second Challenge? Get your camera/camera phone ready...
