This is no small feat.

Active Rain has reached a membership of 200,000 raucous, chattering bloggers.

Granted, not all of us are blogging, but most of us are reading, chatting, commenting, milling about, and garnering that fabulous Search Engine Optimization that comes with being a member of the Rain.

Congratulations Active Rain, this is no small feat and deserves to be recognized.

Personally, I think you've managed to do it solely on the magnetic personality of one, Kerrie Greenhalg, (even though she spells her name weird) but hey, that's just me.

weekends are tough

I just saw this as well.  Have they said who that 200,000th member is?  Wouldn't that be something to be that new member?  Maybe A.R. will make their mortgage payments for a year?  Whatdaya think?  Maybe they should pay ours for coming up with the idea.

Hi Alan - I didn't notice that until you pointed it out and I have to say that your photo is just PERFECT to commemorate this milestone!  Fun!

It is a special occasion and I'm happy to see AR celebrate in style. Kerrie can spell her name any way she wants.  What a PR person she is.

Very cool!  But I do think that they should tell us who lucky number 200,000 is!  Just for the sheer bragging rights!

Who knew it would happen before we could get a contest together.  I say AR should give a round of AR points to everyone who comments on this post.  25 points sounds about right.  :)

May - I noticed this as well.  Over the years, that's a heck of a lot of people taking the time to come onboard.  Out of curiousity, I do wonder what % are actively contributing still?

Larry - I think they should get a lotta start-up points, and maybe a sponsorship for that... whaddya think?

Judy - no more appropriate time for the milling masses to wear their very best.

Wendy - dern tooting.

Dan - that is true (and it's A-L-A-N.. it's spelled out right at the top, there).

Craig - thank you... but I was (272 -12) yesterday... weekends are rough.

Kathryn - I think they should too.

Kim - let's see what tomorrow brings.

Chris - I know, it happened so fast... and I think that's reasonable... 25 points for all... right, Kerrie.

Jason - I think it's probably a very small percentage (the names that we see on a regular basis)... probably less than 10%.

This is quite the accomplishment.  I know they have been getting close for quite some time.  I wonder who the 200,000th new member was?

I always come away with a little nugget of knowledge.  And I agree about Kerrie.  I met her in person and she's a nice as she's pretty.

Michael - it sure is an accomplishment... they haven't told us, yet, who #200,000 was.

Susan - is she pretty??? really?  (ahem) i hadn't noticed.

Alan,

I had the unique opportunity to meet Kerrie in person. She's even more interesting in person. I guess you're gonna have to fly to the next raincamp to meet her, her side kick and Mister Bob Stewart in person. One interesting group. And you're right 200k is a great feat. I wonder what the limit will be.

Greg - I, too, had the unique pleasure of meeting both of the above luminaries... (at Rain Camp, when it was here in the Chicago area, I also got to meet Brad) Kerrie was, indeed, cute as the proverbial Dickens, and Bob... well, he was Bob.
