Only 234 posts to go - well, I made it 233
until 100.000
Probably will take place tomorrow.
And why not disable the frontpage counter "97766"
for awhile to avoid cheaters.
And announce this competition/lottery!
Why not Nelson donate an old Pass Amplifier Kit
as 1st Prize to the poster of #100.000.
He probably has some unused stuff
in a dark corner of his house.
I wouldn't mind getting it!

Somehow Swede and competitor do not feel synonymous to me.
Although Swedes excel in many fields, I thought it was for the "love of it";) |

| halojoy |
well, I like to compete
but I also like others to win
now 100.104 - who wrote the #100.000
as we do not know
I guess it was me, myself
probability is high, don't you think?
500 posts/month
this time next year I have written 12x500+840=
6840 posts
If GOD lets me live that long
I have to take one day at the time

| Due to an unexpected technical hiccup, the post count on the front page is incorrect. We have not reached 100,000 posts in the diyAudio public forums. I'll try and get the problem rectified asap. I'll keep you all posted. This is post # 98474. |

AudioFreak,
what you say?
my counter is way over 101.000
101.044 to be precise |
|
|
| AudioFreak |
Halojoy,
read my post 2 up from here ... you'll see that the counter is not currently working quite the way we would like it to... We'll fix it as soon as possible.
This is post 99325. |

What could be more fair?
Congratulations Nelson!
(even if you do not write those Haikkus any more to honor me, gromanswe)
-------------------------
I took me some time to go back to those first days
of diyAudio.com.
The days before Nelson Pass!
I read those old threads - when there was only one Forum.
No Everything Else or Loudspeakers or Pass.
Suddenly one day, as two guys discussed some modifications
to an amplifier made by Pass,
they get an answering post from Mister Nelson Pass himself!
They get somewhat of a shock. Start feeling guilty
about publishing/changing/using his circuit designs.
Nelson doesn't mind.
He is interested in, if these guys can make his circuit even better.
The guys spend several posts just thanking the Master... LOL
--------------------------------
Well, those were the days, when the forum was young.
This site of Jason, would certainly not be as successful
without this special member joining the Forum.
A man called Nelson Pass.
Now, it is like this:
Both the Forum and Pass Labs benefits.
The name Pass wouldn't be what it is today
without all the DIY-selvers - speading the word.
You can see it as FREE advertising, if you like.
-----------------------------------------------------------
That is what me, gromanswe/halojoy, has reached
as my conclusion.
/halojoy - do NOT underestimate his conclusions! |
|

| halojoy |
I have to aim to be 200.000th poster.
As Nelson did the 100.000th.
Next 100.000 will not take nearly as long.
I wonder how many posts there are in one day, now.
We should be able to estimate when next 100.000 is passed.
/halo - doing his best to increase forum stats |

I wish you were around more often, Jason.
Can not help thinking you should.
