Interesting how new members in most cases take a while to write their first post.  Not one of these new members has posted their first Blog post yet.  I realize they have just joined, (except for Buddy) but hopefully, they'll get motivated and inspired by some of you to jump on into the "Rain Puddles" and create that first post. 

The member counter at the top of AR's main page is a bit behind.  To see the actual count and members, click here, this will give you up to the minute details on Brand New Members joined.

We are currently at 100,063. :-)

The question has been asked, "What member number was I?"  If you want to find that out, send $9.95 to Brad Andersohn care of "IllFindItForYou.com" hahaha!!  :-)

Seriously though, If you want to find your member ID and what number you were when you signed up, just go to "My Home" then click on the link "My Comments" the URL will display your member number at the end.

Here's mine:

http://activerain.com/action/blogs/comments/22617,  What's Yours???  Broker B, I think you were #871, Congrats my friend, you have truly seen it all!!   :-)

okay...about the new photo on my profile, one of you is going to pay for this one!! Jon wouldn't do it, Matt is too cool, so Bob or Rich, you are going down!!  Like one of you said at Inman Connect and on IM....he who laughs last......  :-O

UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT:

While the AR guys are messin with me and my photo, Renae Bolton ~ Marketing 4 Realtors is willing to donate 4 FREE hours of Virtual Assistance to Anna for being the 100,000th member.  She can provide marketing through lead management or listing coordination. If you find this post Anna, it's yours.  If not, would you contact her Ranae? What an awesome gesture from a fellow AR member!!  Thanks Renae.  :-)

What will Anna think when she finds this post?  SHE WILL FIND THIS POST you know!! (if one of you hasn't told her already) or If the 10,000 bonus points don't get her here first!   lol~

And NO GAMBLING on my post!!   :-))

So at this rate, we should hit 1,000,000 members sometime around 2026.  :-))

Just for the record, the photo that some of you saw on my Blog was one of the guys playing a joke on me.  I don't want to mention any names (Rich Jacobson or Bob Stewart) because I don't want to get either of them in any hot water! lol~  I don't get mad at the pranks they pull on me, I love those guys, but I will get even.  I am putting the picture here to remind me that as I "pay it forward" to some members, there will always be those I'll need to "Pay It Back!!"  :-))

For those of you who want to see the actual member count, (because the counter in the upper right corner of the screen is slightly off) You can click "Home" then "Real Estate Agents" under By Type, then "All", then scroll to the bottom of the page and click page "4005", then scroll to the bottom and you'll see total members.

Your comment "So... your help with your great talent for getting members to join Real Estate Agents for The Pickens Plan -- would be highly appreciative."  In the future, please feel free to create your own post to market your products, or contact me by phone or email to discuss your website, ideas, or whatever you choose.  Hijacking a post to endorse your products and services can often times be frowned upon by other members.  Do not take it personal, I prefer that members don't use my posts to sell products or market their services.  Thanks.

If you have a comment regarding the content of this post or want to respond to another members comment and start a conversation or thread, you are more than welcome to do so. :-))

I'm with Natalie - GROUP HUG!!!  :-))

                                                                  The Congratulations:

It really goes to Jonathan Washburn and Matt Heaton for having the vision, and for putting up the money and the efforts it took in creating ActiveRain.  To Rich and Bob for keeping peace and love in the community.  Also, Nicole and the rest of the Tech and AR Support Team for tirelessly dealing with technical matters and member issues.

Then the congrats needs to go to ALL the members that made this chained link to 100,000 possible. 

If you totaled every dollar where business was generated by members using ActiveRain, it would be in the millions I'm sure, so the congratulations really does go to each of YOU, for all your hard work and efforts to building this community into what it is today.  Work hard, get paid hard!!   :-)

Though it's a great day and cause to celebrate our New Members and our "Milestone",  let's also honor those above who have stuck with it and persevered since the beginning.  All the AR Old Timers. They are to be included in this Congratulations as well. 

Do you know who the first member was on ActiveRain?

TLW - Matt was #5, Caleb was #6 and Jon was #7.  So who was the 1st member to start on ActiveRain, and for bonus points, who wrote the very first Blog post on ActiveRain???   :-)

                                        ActiveRain Trivia on Membership and First Blog Post:

The very first member on ActiveRain was Ben Wiseley, there was a test account set up as #1 in the beginning, but Ben was the first actual member #2, followed by Matt, then Caleb, then Jon!  Great job TLW!  You really know your history here! You are worthy of the ROAR!! and a few bonus points as well.


The first Blog post ever put up on ActiveRain was....

Blast The Bubble

Funny thing is, we are already at 100,400+ and this post is already just history.  But it's a history I'll always remember and be proud of forever for sure!!  :-)

Sandra - next goal is to make Localism the World's greatest and most complete and comprehensive NeighborPedia.  It will take some time, but I believe together we can all make it happen.  :-)

Candace - not sure on that one, the answers are here, but where's the post you are referring to?  Send me a link and we'll make sure to notify the author that we have the results. Sure hope it wasn't one of my posts! lol

Kris Wales - the answer to your question is yes.  My last post will show you how to upload photos to Localism.
