As of this moment there are 99,039 DU members.

How about if we all get together and buy the 100,000th member a yacht? Okay, how about a Lexus? All right, will anyone settle for a card signed by all of the rest of us 99,999?

Any other suggestions?

1. Of course, that includes TS'd members and inactive members. nt

5. i was wondering about that... people come and go...

that number is a little misleading.

2. There are only about 5000 - 7000 people actively posting during any week.

4. Nonetheless, this is a milestone that should not be ignored.

7. well that...

3. Whomever it is, they should use the name

100,000thMember!

6. fuzzy math

Skinner or someone can correct me, but while 99,000 or so registrations may have been submitted, I don't think that there are 99,000 currently active members. So even if its technically to correct that there 99,000 "members" (if you assume that once you're a member you are always a member), its a bit misleading to suggest that there are that many people who would identify themselves as du members at present.

on edit: I have no problem with celebrating the 10,000th user registration.

9. That number includes all who've been tombstoned as well.....so it doesn't represent....

...the number of members here.

8. remember when there were 20,000

soo heartening to see DU all grown up.

[Cyrano]

10. Okay, party-poopers. I'll celebrate alone. My only request is that

Skinner join me in hoisting a toast to the 100,000 who were or are.

And Skinner, my personal, heartfelt congratulations to you.
