I'm happy to say that in 14 short months, the WSO community has DOUBLED it's membership base (we hit 100,000 on October 9, 2012). Today we passed the 200,000 mark and I wanted to say thank you to all of our new and old members that made it possible.
I'm still in awe at how strong the community has become and the amount of help that dispensed daily by our Certified Users and more senior members of the community to the new chimps.
So thank you, thank you, thank you. Our goal was to hit 200,000 by the end of 2013 and it looks like we BARELY made it. I'm excited to see what 2014 will bring...
Now if any of you have read the Lean Start-up, you know that this gross member # is really just a vanity metric. What is much more important is ACTIVE members, however you want to define that...so we are getting much better at tracking total accesses and unique accesses to the site, as well as unique members contribuiting, etc...
We are working harder than ever and are hyper-focused on improving the content on WSO as well as improving the site as a platform for connecting with like minded students & professionals. I also hope that along the way you've had some fun and we've helped you form meaningful relationships and that you'll continue to make WSO strong as ever!
Who thinks we can hit 300,000 by end of 2014?
HUGE.
Nice...I think it would be cool to have a little periodically updating counter somewhere that tells everyone the number of distinct unique users that have been active in the last X months.
Damn... how many accounts did Brady actually make?
I think at least 8 to be fair... :-)
We movin' on up to a dee-luxe apartment in the skyy...
Congrats Patrick. WSO has helped me quite a bit in the 2 short years I've been a member, and I've seen the community completely transform as well.
I'm looking forward to a prosperous career of models, bottles, and Monkeying Around topics.
so when's the ipo?
2017 when we hit 1 million users...
Awesome, congrats Pat!
I'm pretty excited for the future contributions from AxionJaxion and CrashCourse1. It's great to have some seasoned guys around here with in-depth knowledge of the private equity landscape.
Lol, in addition to Certified Users we should also have tags for uncertified users.
I didn't get this comment until I was pulled into that dumpster fire of a thread. God bless WSO.

thank you for creating WSO Patrick; i've been a monkey for a short period of time but i've learned a lot already. keep the good work up.
How many more will sign up following Wolf of Wallstreet? I'm guessing you see an increased rate of adoption in the range of +5%/month
Congratulations, Patrick. Really do have an awesome site here.
Wow congrats. I can't even thank you enough for the immense amount of knowledge that I have gained from you and the users of this site in the past four-five months or so that I have been a member. Can't wait to see what lies ahead!
Thank you WSO!
Congratulations, Patrick. The best is yet to come...
