General Magma Posted June 18, 2010 Wow, congratulations EB! When I looked a while back we had 9999 members, so I knew today was gonna be the day. ~ General Magma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VBBN Posted June 18, 2010 And to think that when I joined back in 07 we had less than 2,000 members is quite a shocking memory. Congrats EB! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Arjay Posted June 18, 2010 Hurray! I'd like to throw my congrats in. It's so nice to be a part of this site, well done to everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
filip skywalker Posted June 18, 2010 10,000! Woohoo! Nice presentation! Altought I am sceptic about the 9,3 new members/day... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fugazi Posted June 18, 2010 Thanks for the slide show, it's very interesting reading for the newer members such as me! Long live Eurobricks! What I would wish for if there are any still existing, would be some screen captures from previous incarnations of EB, back to the very start? Are forum boards ever archived somewhere (like the Wayback Machine or such?) *checking* I can find one archive, but it's so very slow loading... http://web.archive.o....eurobricks.com I'm not sure if any images will ever load.

Deinonychus Posted June 18, 2010 10,000!? We could almost buy our own ship for that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCrimsonTrooper Posted June 18, 2010 It is always a milestone to reach 10,000. To be honest, I learned some stuff from that very well put together presentation. Now as we look into the future of Eurobricks, we can now wonder 'Will the number of members reach 20,000?' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Redwater Posted June 18, 2010 WOW, Eurobricks has 10.000 members, wow. Great slideshow, it really explaines the history of Eurobricks well, and was interesting to read. Congratulations Eurobricks! - General Redwater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zerobricks Posted June 18, 2010 Congratulations. Though i wonder out of 10000 members, how many are just spambots or such. Still this is the best Lego forum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zepher Posted June 18, 2010 I assume that there will only be 3 slides. 1) Eurobricks is founded. 2) Zepher joins. 3) Today. Bwahahahaha! Congrats to our little site, and of course congrats to the EB staff for helping us get here! When I think of the monster Lego discussion board, I think of EB, and I think these numers prove my thoughts correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ras 74 Posted June 18, 2010 That is an awesome presentation for our beloved forum. I just love this place and its members!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimBee Posted June 18, 2010 And to think that when I joined back in 07 we had less than 2,000 members is quite a shocking memory. Congrats EB! Agreed! It feels like such a long time ago since I joined, but it's only been about 2.5 years. Not that EB itself has changed much before last week, but it's been quite the experience. Oh was I getting sentimental? Congrats, Eurobricks! I enjoyed the slide show, especially the map that visually showed where all of the staff members were located. And, I know we all contributed to the 10K, but I'm curious to know who the last one was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILikePi Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) Who would've thought that Eurobricks would become one of the most popular LEGO forums out there? This is definitely a momentous achievement. Great presentation, too! It's nice to see all of the things about and of Eurobricks over the years, especially the Brickset article screencap of how perfect Clone O' Patra's review was. This is definitely the best forum I've seen, and I'm happy to take part in this celebration. The admin/moderator team is both funny and omnipotent, and there are many interesting features all over the site, like the Reviewer's Academy and mafia games. Looking forward to the years to come! Hey I guess I'm no longer a newb. You never were, with all of your outstanding reviews. Edited June 18, 2010 by ILikePi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProducePrincess Posted June 18, 2010 When i first joined these forums in early 08 There was only 3884 , pretty big increase in numbers eh. I don't know if a larger forum is a better forum though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted June 18, 2010 Wow, I was just about to post this too, but I forgot about it When I joined there were only 425 members, and I only knew about 15-20 of them, and now there are over 10,000?!?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorbas Posted June 18, 2010 Well done to all and a special big WELL DONE to the founders and the Staff of Eurobricks who set the base for this evolution. You have to have good and strong foundations in order to build a beautiful and stable building and effective maintenace services in order to expand it. Nothing more but thanks to all! P.S Great presentation Bonaparte! This was one of the things I had asked in the past, a Eurobricks "History Guide". Excellent job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
