Mobileread hits 1 million posts. Thank you!

Alexander Turcic · 07-18-2010, 12:16 PM

This is a very special moment, the ONE MILLLLLLIONTH POST was submitted this week. Whaaahooooo!!!!!

Thanks to Nick "nrapallo"'s investigative work, we know with absolute certainty who made the important milestone post. Well, kinda. The magic poster was: either dreams, or montsnmags, or FizzyWater, or GeoffC.

Yeah, counting isn't my best strength, and from what it appears, we now have _four_ 1 million posters who are all our special members of the day and may sit in the middle!

To our non-team members, FizzyWater and GeoffC, a surprise gift to both of you: you both receive each a $50 e-book gift certificate. And another $50 certificate goes to nrapallo, whose uber math problem solving skills helped us immensely in finding the winners.

Ok, time now for a special thanks to allllllll of you for keeping this community very alive and making it to 1 million posts. You guys are amazing and we wouldn't be here without each and every one of you!! Yes, I've grown to think of you all as a family.

And finally, I want to express my personal gratitude to all the hard-working volunteer team members for inspiring me and for making sure that MobileRead will always remain the fun place it is.

Congratulations... to everyone who even might have been the lucky poster, for falling within the designated range! FizzyWater, GeoffC and nrapallo, enjoy those gift certificates, and buy yourselves something special.

FYI, the combined number of post for dreams, montsnmags, FizzyWater, and GeoffC is 26,008 (as of the time of this post). That's 2.6 percent of the 1 million posts. Congratulations to the prolific posters, your hard work finally paid off!

It would be interesting to see statistics on the top posters at MR. And congrats, MR!

AprilHare · 07-18-2010, 06:19 PM

Congratulations one and all!
Keep up the good posts!

Donnageddon · 07-18-2010, 07:27 PM

Congratulations GeoffC & FizzyWater!

Thank goodness it wasn't one of my posts. I probably would have been caught saying something inane.

I must continue to fly under the radar.

Thanks Alex and to all for your accolades.

It's hard taking credit for something that comes so naturally: enjoying my time spent here at MobileRead.com.

I hope everyone relishes in the accomplishments of this thriving and most informative authority on all things "electronic and book related"!

Cheers to all!
