Ladies and gentlemen, I just have to do a little bragging.

My site broke the 700 member mark visiting every 24 hours on July 28th.

The most members online over 24 hours was 709, Yesterday at 11:03 PM.

My forum has PaulMs modification "visitors every 24 hours" installed. That is how I know this. Thank you Paul.

My personal belief - the strength and flexibility of VBulletin and the modifications provided by this community is what has allowed my community to grow like it has.

I just want to say "Thank You" to the coders that helped make my site the best it can be.

Give credit where credit is due. These are the people that have helped with their contributions to my community.

And a special Thank You to The Geek.
The Geek - AME - Automatic Media Embedding This was one of the first modifications installed on my site. This one modification has allowed my site to grow beyond what I had ever expected.

And why do I add a special "Thank You" for The Geek? When I opened my site I wanted to do something different to promote it. So I opened a youtube account and started making videos. The videos were then embedded into my site using the AME modification.

In the description of some of the videos on youtube, I would put a link to the thread where the video was embedded. This provided people at youtube with a couple of direct links to my site. A link to the site index was always posted at the top of the video description. Currently my youtube account has 2,821 subscribers, the videos have received over 1,544,245 views - with an average viewing of 4,000 - 6,000+ views a day.

Some of my members followed my example and started making their own videos. Which were then posted on my forum. Some of the members have made the forum into a video blogging community. We had so many videos being posted, I created several "Member made videos" sections.

If I forgot a coder in the above list - you have my apologies.

To everyone that has helped my site get 1.5+ million page views a month, and 700+ members visiting every 24 hours, I just want to say

THANK YOU!!!!!
