10,000 Member Countdown

[Brian Hannigan]

Only 1,000 more members and we hit the 10,000 mark :)

I'm guessing somewhere around August 15th.

Thanks to all that post great information and give members a reason to join.

Don't forget, sponsors keep InspectionNews FREE for everyone. Show them some love with a visit a day. If you don't, who will?

[Rick Hurst]

Brian,

If you could just get all the inspectors just here in Dallas alone to sign up, you'd top that in just a day. :D

[Brian Hannigan]

OK Rick, I have a job for you and I'm glad you volunteered.

Now pick up your phone and start spreading the news ;)

[Rick Hurst]

My afternoon appt. just canceled due to the utilities being off so I'm going to knock on some doors for you Brian.:D

[Nolan Kienitz]

Rick,

What??? No utilities? Where is your generator? Your portable air compressor? Your portable gas tank?

I'm shocked?!! :rolleyes:


Be sure you brush up on doing EMF inspections. Clients (err ... potential clients) are now asking for those.

The $199 specialists are offering them it appears. :o

[Brian Hannigan]

Only 6 days later and the countdown has gone from 1,000 to 900.

It's amazing how fast new members are joining InspectionNews!

Any bets on what date the 10,000th member will join?

The first one to guess the correct date will get a free copy of the Cost Of Business (http://www.CostOfBusiness.com) !

No editing your post after you guess the date.

[Scott Patterson]

July 19, 2009 will be the day of 10,000!

"correct"?

"closest"?

"closest without going over"?

:D

If per chance (i.e., "dumb luck") I am correct, raffle that off to the next closest.

I just went 6 days = 100
900 left / 6 days = 54 days, counted out 54 days on the calendar and that was what I got. :cool:

[Brian Hannigan]

July 17th 2009

That's my birthday (except for the 2009 part ;) ). That would be a great day to hit 10,000!

[Steve Lottatore]

Scott took my initial guess, being about 60 days out and a Sunday, with 'trollers' abounding the internet. So I'll go with July 20th (for those late-nighters drifting in past midnight! )

Unless Rick gets on the ball, not going to make my date, that's for sure. :eek:

Go Rick, go. :D

Well, it took 7 days this time to have the next 100 people sign up. We are now under 800 to go before we hit 10,000.

I will leave the guessing open for one more week so it is fair to everyone and will take Jerry's suggestion for the closest guess without going over the date.

We actually had about 140 new members but as you know I delete the dead wood (bad e-mail addresses) as people forget to update when they change e-mail addresses or go out of business. This provides InspectionNews with an accurate number (or very close) of real and interested members, not the "One and Done" sign-ups.

[Brian Hannigan]

Six days later and we are now down to 700 more members before we hit 10,000.

No more guesses after June 11th so make your prediction now.

[Jerry Peck]

Looks like it will be July 24th at this point, with the benefit of time passing since the previous numbers. :D

But it is slowing down, as evidenced by the first rate and the current rate, so it will likely be later than that.

Brian, does everyone get a new chance on June 11 based on current numbers as of that date? :cool:

[Ted Menelly]

Let me see.

I will make a prediction as well

I predict that there is approximately 700 sign ups to go. Am I right :)

[Mitchell Toelle]

I say August 4th. I'll be flyfishing in the Eastern Sierras when my prize winnings are announced. If I return I'll collect at that time.

Brian Schmidt, you better re-register under another name:)

I hope no one does that and it is an honest 10,000th member.

You all know other inspectors who might not already be members. Send out an e-mail and see if it could be one of your friends.

[Brian Hannigan]

Tom Greggs, congratulations!! You are the 10,000th member on InspectionNews!

As a gift I would like to give you a complementary pass to the Casey, O'Malley Associates Inspection Stimulus Conference (http://www.inspectionconference.com)this September in Las Vegas

Congratulations and welcome to InspectionNews!!! :)

Brian, I will get you the info to download the Cost Of Business soon!

Congrats on your guess!

[brian schmitt]

brian,
thank you for providing such an entertaining forum for learning and (jerry)listening! i would appreciate it if you would take jerry's advice and raffle off the gift and give the proceeds to the nearest humane society for spay and nuetering kitties! it will be a tax deduduction for the winner and a useful gift for someone new to this trade. thanks and congratulations for 10k members:D

[A.D. Miller]

I (almost) hate to be the perennial gadfly here, but why didn't a prize of some sort go to Mr. 10,000 himself? Is this a gambling forum or what?:D

If so, then I'll just bet that the Hann cannot come up with a mobile device-friendly version of his site before I actually could use it.:eek:

Aaron,

You really do need to learn to read posts before you post. :D
