Is it me...

...or are we nudging closer and closer towards the mark of 4000 members? (3,974 at this very moment). 26 is still many off, but should we celebrate in some way at the joining of the 4000th member or something and hope its not a troll? :)

Free Pocky! :dance: :lol:
Just joking.
As much as free candy sounds delicious,to be serious for a change I think that we shouldn't make too big a deal about it.I mean imagine being the
3,999 or 4,001 member.
Maybe a nice and quiet congrats.

However, when you think about it, we've already had far over 4000 members, because every so often the database purges members who have less than 25 posts (I *believe* it's 25 anyways) and haven't posted in a while. But having 4000 active members may be a different thing all together. One of the mods could go in and ad "4000th member!" to his signature in bright colors. . . for a small fee. . . XD
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

A small fee? :lol: How would this fee be rendered?

Small fee!? Since when do we charge a "small fee" for what we do, Yumie!?














. . .We charge exorbitant fees.


And yeah, actually, we've hit 4,000 members once already. However, perhaps we're closed to a lasting 4,000 members. That would, indeed, be impressive.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Ooooh! I remember I had a friend sign up here over a year or so ago and she posted a few times, and went to see if she posted anything recently but wasn't even on The List. Looks like this explains it^^

EDIT: wait a minute... why does The List look to have WAY fewer than almost 4,000 members?! I mean 29 people per page, and a little over 30 pages of the names... it doesn't add up^^

'Cause you only get on "the list" when you reach 25 posts. We have many members with fewer than 25 posts who are still in the database but aren't on "the list." :P
