[Diva of Dragons]

Hi All!!

As of this post, the DIS is 378 away from 200,000 registered members!!!!

Wow! I remember when we were gunning for 20,000! LOL!!!

Go DIS!!

Color me tacky! I'm bumping my own thread! Now it's 341!

I guess I'm the only dork who thinks it's a little bit cool that so many people from all over the world have found their way to our little corner of cyber space!

I check the member count when I log in. I like seeing how many new people have joined! It's awesome!

I remember the registered users going from about 8000 when I signed up to 20000 6 months later.

congrats to Pete and all the webmasters, moderators and posters for making the DIS what it is

heya Diva of Dragons, did you find a new home after VMK? I gave up

heya Dan!!

Woohoo!!

It would be awesome if we could get a total of 200,000 members by the end of this year.

Dan! Hope all is well!!

Hey there! Not really. I stuck with Wizard 101. Fun, but it's just not the same. Elf Island isn't bad and they have Lily, Hula, Titan and a few other hosts from VMK. The newest potential beta is FreeRealms.com, which looks pretty cool, but nothing will ever have the global appeal that VMK did.

Woohoo!!

It would be awesome if we could get a total of 200,000 members by the end of this year.

Oh, we will!!! As of this post, we only need 330, so we've added 41 since I started the thread earlier today!!!

Do they reduce the number when people are banned? I ask because I recall a fairly large number of folks being banned last April, and I have no idea if the number of registrants was adjusted accordingly.

I would say no. I also think the active members are probably a small fraction of that 200,000.

I have at least one other ID that I don't know the password for, etc. My ID was lost in the "crash of 99" or so. Registered with another. Then couldn't get logged in with it one day - wrong password or something - and registered with this one. To the best of my knowledge the other one is still there, I just haven't/can't use it. I'll bet there are hundreds if not thousands like that.

Who really cares? That number is just a fun milestone, it doesn't have any meaning. Do you really believe when some store has their "One millionth customer" sale that they really get that right? That number went down when we switched software and everyone had to re-register back in 2002 anyway

Go DIS!!

Ahhh, but is it 200,000 different members OR just 200,000 different usernames?

I highly doubt we've got almost 200,000 different members.

If I go create another 300+ new usernames, do I get a prize? Huh, do I do I?

 

[PixarNut]

I registered yesterday. Wish I could have been 200k!

WELCOME TO THE PARTY!!!!

279 to go!!

Thanks Alex! Even I started with a diffferent user name but, like you said, it's just a fun milestone! It's the only one we can see, so why not go with it?

Humor me DISers. I messed up my back and have been stuck on the couch most of the last week and a half. Give me this silly little pleasure, ok?

 

[Rora]

That's pretty cool!!

You're right, OP, it's crazy that so many people have found the DIS!

Let the countdown begin!

 

[Piecey]

Where do you go to see how many members we have?

 

[ilovedisney1]

It is on the main page. Up on the left hand side.

 

[Piecey]

Ahh..
So we only need 276 now!
