MacRumors Reaches Four Million Posts
MacRumors Forums, the discussion boards for the MacRumors family of sites, has reached another milestone: four million forum posts.
The 4,000,000th post was made by member MisterMe at 9:53 AM EST on Saturday, August 4, 2007, in a thread named It's not great viewing photos in the Finder, is it? in the Mac OS X forum. Congratulations, MisterMe, and congratulations, MacRumors!
MacRumors.com opened on February 24, 2000, as a site to consolidate interesting Apple news and rumors. The current forum system opened in April, 2001. The MacRumors forums now have over 100,000 members and over 300,000 threads, with thousands of posts each day about Apple news, speculation and rumors, questions and answers, special topics such as design and graphics, and general discussion.
It took MacRumors 3 years and 4 months to reach one million posts, 1 year and 4 months to reach 2 million posts, 10 months to reach 3 million posts, and just over 9 months to reach 4 million posts. We attribute our rate of growth both to MacRumors' increasing rank among Apple-related sites on the web and to the increased interest in Apple and its wide range of products.
MacRumors is celebrating its 4 million post milestone with a tongue-in-cheek contest to find the Ultimate Apple Fanatic among our membership. See our Contest Announcement for details. Our 3 million post milestone was marked by an Apple Ad Contest.
We thank those who visit the MacRumors sites, participate in the forums, and make MacRumors the popular web destination and daily news stop for so many.
We'd also like to thank our staff for all their hard work:
Editors: arn, longofest
Administrators: Doctor Q, Knox, Mudbug
Moderators: AmbitiousLemon, Blue Velvet, devilot, edesignuk, HexMonkey, jsw, Mitthrawnuruodo, Mr. Anderson, Nermal, Rower_CPU, WildCowboy, WinterMute

I'm sure I speak for many when I raise my glass of Tequila and say thanks to all the administrators, moderators, etc. for the hard work done to make this site the excellent destination that it is.
I've found no other forum site on the web that has such a community spirit and is so well run. The forum software delivers the impression of a rock solid and bulletproof environment and the moderators seem to cut just the right amount of slack to keep the forums interesting with the feeling that one has freedonm to speak one's mind.
Thanks to All and lets look forward to Five Million!

Congratulations from one of the old timers! (I remember the One Million Posts avatar contest, plus many other happy times spent here.)
By far one of the contributing factors to the huge upswell in viewership and contributions has to be the iPhone. The last time I remember being so rabidly involved in a Mac product / rumor was the first redesign of the iMac. Thousands haunted the boards looking for news on that machine - had to be one of the most anticipated Stevenotes in history.
Kudos to MacRumors, "staff" and contributors for making this THE classiest and BEST Apple news-related site on the web, bar none.:D
