Mmm, this is big enough to go in IF Chat. Ten thousand posts. Over two years that I've been here. I was the hundredth member... now we have 30,000. I made the 1,000 post... now we have 700,000. IF has come a long way. While beating down all the crappy competitors at the same time, muahaha! I had never used a message board before I came to IF. Was actually setting up a "website" (oh, the days of HTML 4.01 and tables, whee) for my youth group, and the sponsor wanted a "bulletin board". What's a bulletin board? I thought that was from those CompuServe days where you dialed in to post messages. So I set out Googling. Yeah, I searched. By myself. Didn't sign up and post "hey wher r da free forumz d00dz lololrofl!!11". So try SEARCHING sometime. It would make our job lots easier. Rawr. Thankfully I found IF before getting sucked into *-boards. I remember registering on the forum and thinking, wow, this looks a whole lot better than those other places. So I started to sign up and--- what's this?--- signups are closed? Yep, DuffMan accepted 100 boards and then froze signups to iron out more bugs. So I waited around a week or so, when one day I logged in and signups were back on! I wasted no time in getting a board set up, and boy was it spiffy. I had never used anything like it before, but it wasn't hard to learn, and the support forums sure helped. At that time, DuffMan himself answered almost all the support questions... and there were no Tickets. I wish there were still not tickets. Nasty things. So after having learned all about IPB, I started helping out on the support forums. Just here and there, when I knew the answer. IF still hired people back then the way they do now... decide first, promote then, ask questions later. Little did I know what awaited me when I logged in one day. Ack! More forums. Blue name. "Mod CP" thingy. What had happened? Forum malfunction! Okay, or I just got promoted. A welcome topic with my name on it? Shiny. Wasn't expecting that one, kids, and thus wasn't trying for it. Thus, all you support team wannabes never have a chance. Bleh. And so it went. It's quite a simple formula for success, really. Do one thing extremely well--- better than everyone else. Make it free. Build a community. And don't break your promises to that community. IF started simply as a way to give everyone a chance to build their own community. We promised it would always be popup-free, and it is. We promised it would always be free, and it is. And we promised to always bring you top-notch support... but you'll have to decide whether that one is true or not. I think our support is better than IPS' by far, so ha. So of course I'd like to thank Duff, for bringing this all together to make it work. He more than anyone else has poured thousands of hours into making IF happen. The staff are what make IF great. I'm a member of lots of communities, and frankly I don't know any other place with such friendly and approachable staff. Surely I'm biased, but I think many members would agree. And for those that don't, we're just enforcing the rules. Try to see things from our shoes. They're all great people that I'm proud to work alongside. Not to mention Loth is darn good-looking, bahahaha! But a community is nothing without its members. We've had a lot of notables come and go over the years. But without the memberbase... there's no reason in having a community. So thanks to you guys, for choosing to support InvisionFree as your free forum provider of choice. We're going places, this next year. Boy, are we. So stick around. You'll be glad you did. Thanks for reading, and have a blessed day tomorrow. See you at 20,000! ![]() This post was made possible by the letter A, the numbers 2 and 6, and the dairy product cheese. Sponsored in part by viewers like you.

Please deposit your quarters at the sound of the tone. If everyone had a Loth, the world would be a better place. Lightsup officially hyperlinks every possible word he can. Mercury is quite possibly one of the funniest people on InvisionFree. Rory is a mean, evil drunk, except when he's not. The afro doubles Zenith's already considerable funny quotient. Stefan is the wubbliest, but boy is he competition; go away Steef. Luna is absolutely adorable and I wish she would give me a picture, for goodness' sakes. JereBear, you're with us in spirit. IF2 will arrive April 1, 2005. It will include such features as 4x anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, and detailed bump mapping. Also a real-time spellchecker coded completely in JS (to make Merc suffer). If you've read this far, the secret password is "bunnikins". I don't know what you'd use the secret password for, but I'm sure you'll figure that out. God bless every one of us, because otherwise the world would be in a whole heap of trouble. I never figured out why Renee likes me so much but I love her anyways. Greets to Mom, Dad, Nate, Emily, Kristen, Jeff, Tyler, Carrie, Cait, Hannah, Sam, Maria, Daniel, and _______ (your name here). Thanks for reading, have a good (night | day), and have fun at (school | work | the homeless shelter). If you get 10,000 posts, you too may make a post like this. Go for it. But if you spam we will release xWorm Potato 43 on you. Visit my blog, you'll like it if you like this postscript. DuffMan for President. Murr, w00t, and kthxbai! |
