CONGRATS TO KINGCABOOTLE FOR BEING MEMBER # 20,000!!!

Congrats on being the #20,000th member to join Brickpicker! I did not know that there were that many members here. I always thought that there were around 2,500.

Very cool! Welcome, Kingcabootle!

I thought it was around 100 of us.

I thought it was around 100 of us.

There are many lurkers.

Congrats! I've been waiting for him to join... 

Congrats Kingcabootle! And congrats Ed and Jeff on 20,000 members!  I can't believe how much this site has grown over the past 2 years, keep up the good work guys!

Holy crap dude. 20,000... This site is growing fast. Not to step on toes, but weren't there only 15k just 6 months ago? Congratulations on the exponential growth, Macks.

What did he win? Timeshare?

Congratulations! Didn't realize this either. Quite impressive, yet also kind of scary if you know what I mean   Still, 20k is great. The Macks should/could award him with 20k Brickpoints just for being the only member to achieve this. 

Noooooooo! Now people will want to know more data!

I should have put a smiley----I knew there were a few more than 100 here!   Part of research on lego investing...is knowing how many Investors there are, how many new investors are being minted...at least we can get a small idea by page views of various investing sites/blogs.

 

 Since we don't and can't learn the product float.  Other than the crawler.  First investment I have ever tried where you can't know the product float, who the owners are, where they are.....nor possible future minting of product.  It's mostly gut feeling, and guesses based  on past performance.  And you know what they say about investing based on past.....ah who cares.   A  least it's fun..   Site is growing exponentially.  

Congrats, Ed and Jeff!! There are definitely a huge number of lurkers, as well as MIA members. Show yourself!

I wonder how these websites even exist.  I think there may be 2 pieces of information that are correct on that page.

That is absolutely amazing! Bravo Ed and Jeff! To put things into perspective, it has taken Eurobricks about a decade to get to about 35,000 members, and Brickset 16 years to get its current 65,000 members who use the site's function. You've gotten 20,000 in what, 3 2 years? Pays a real testament to the grandiosity of what you've made guys. I think a big round of applause is in order.

You've gotten 20,000 in what, 3 years? 

 

2 years

I was going to point out the Alexa rankings (you guys score pretty well on that compared to other Lego sites in traffic) but they aren't really that useful. They only collect data on people who install the Alexa toolbar so not a very good data sample.

I am guessing page views is right, that is all I am curious about. 

 

Maybe as part  of premium membership you can tell us how many unique page views per day.  Fat chance I know!  

 

We can guess what the top 5 before bp and post bp sites are visited by folks...and I bet 25% of us have bp open simultaneously with ebay and craigs.

Now that this number is public I wanted to take the opportunity to let the whole site know that this whole thing was my idea. Everything started around 2 years ago when I noticed the high prices of UCS  sets on ebay. I posted a newspaper ad asking for a programmer and a LEGO analyst that were related and had a pretty long last name as well (but only if you could shorten it and make it more..."commercial" (Mack)". These guys answered and have been working for me ever since

 

You can stop pretending you own the site guys, you knew this time was coming sooner rather than later...

And I thought someone got the #20,000 license plate for the 41999 Crawler.

No that's not right. I was talking about my name and pobox is right. I really don't know where they get some of the numbers. I guess we make $90 a day :)

And the site is worth 50 Grand!

 

Unfortunately Google is worth 120Billion. So you have a ways to go.

         

 

20k calls for an emoticon party!
