March to 20,000 Members T-Shirt Contest!

[UPDATE - IMAGES OF T-SHIRTS IN THIS THREAD] First off I'd like to take this time to thank the more experienced members of the WSO community and the Certified Users for continuing to give great advice to our prospective monkeys in this tough market. Good luck to all of you trying to keep or find a job out there. Stay strong.

On another note, WSO has hit 19,000 registered members and traffic is at an all-time high BUT our challenging goal for 2009 was to hit 28,000 members so we still have a LONG way to go (we are tracking to more like 25,000)

SO I thought I would ask for your help and run a contest to make the process a bit more entertaining. I think in order to get back on track we need to hit 20,000 by the end of March which will not be easy. Every day until the end of March I will be posting the number of registered users we are at in this post to give you an idea of where we are tracking.

Where Do You Come In?
The contest is pretty simple. I will give away a WSO t-shirt to the 3 members that help us sign up the most new users through the last day of March (assuming they come forward and claim the prize within 1 week by sending me a private message). NOTE: most of these slogans / ideas came from other users in this thread here //www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/wso-t-shirt-slogan-contest (including the image in this post) but if you want to see another shirt made let us know. In fact, if you see any of your slogans used in the WSO store, feel free to drop me a PM with your address and which slogan you contributed and I'll send you a free-shirt. The winners of the March to 20,000 Members T-Shirt Contest will be able to choose from any of the t-shirts designs they like from here: http://www.printfection.com/wso-store here are some examples of the shirts.

















How Do I Invite?
You can easily use the invite module here to send out e-mails: //www.wallstreetoasis.com/invite to your friends / colleagues / classmates, etc. and keep track of your accepted invites once you are logged in here: //www.wallstreetoasis.com/invite/list You will also now see "Invite Stats" on your profile page so you can also keep track of how you are doing there as well.

Thanks again to all of you that makes WSO such an active community. If you have any requests / questions / etc. always feel free to drop them in the Site Suggestions forum.

Thanks and Good Luck!
Patrick

I'd looked around for how to invite people to WSO prior to this but could never find the link. I imagine you could increase the growth rate a bit by putting it somewhere more obvious (unless I'm being embarrassingly blind).

On a side note, 19,000? Major congrats Patrick, I had no idea it was that big

Thanks Drexel -- yeah, the invite block is way down in the bottom right hand corner or each page. I'll try moving it up above the polls for a while to see what happens.

Thanks

 

19,037 - 31 new users in last 24hrs.

If we can maintain that rate we will barely make the goal of 20,000 by the end of March. thanks for your help!

19,062 - 25 new users in the last 24 hours....shit, at that pace we will miss the goal since weekends tend to be slower.

Just a suggestion... how about keeping this on the front page? That way it gets more views.

thanks El Terrible -- I think that would help a bit but I don't want to continually bump it above other relevant stories...I think giving an update each night with the # of users ensures it gets bumped to the top of the Recent section at least every night.

Thanks for you help by the way. I see you still have 17 invites pending.

Curious about the membership here.... if there are really almost 20,000 members then how many of those are duplicate, triplicate (or even more...) How many are inactive?

I wonder because with 20,000 members you would think the polls that get put up on this site would get better than 217 participants right?

I'm sure patrick has some smart answer for this but it just seems obvioust to me that this community isn't nearly as big as the total number of user names says it is.

 

IBNutz, you're right - the number of "active" participants is less (but I don't have a measure of that) however the number of unique visitors is much more (over 500,000 in 2008 and close to ~100,000 per month in 2009). I just use the # of members and growth in members every day as another metric to measure the growth of the site.
