Dear Fellow Primates,
After six years in business, WSO has hit 100,000 members and counting! I wanted to make this post to let you know how thankful I am to all of you for all that you give back to the community.
We couldn't have done it without the countless members that give back to the new guys every day, so thank you, thank you, thank you. There are millions of visitors that browse WSO every year, but the community (registered members) is what really makes WSO an engaging, fun and useful place. You are why WSO keeps getting bigger and stronger. We keep pushing forward with exciting new initiatives like the Company Database and our new FAQ section to try and make WSO the best place to find useful insight into the entire world of finance.
To celebrate this exciting milestone, we'd like to offer some discounts for all of you:
- $20 off the earlybird ticket to WSOCon 2013 for the first 10 people to use the discount code 100000WSO

Thanks guys! funny to think back to 2006 when I was super excited about hitting 1,000 users :-)
It'll be even funnier in 5 years when you'll laugh at how excited you were at 100,000.

Congrats! The site flew from 50k to 100k.

HAHAHA. He's in no position to get involved with anything else at the moment, I assure you. He's so buried in Airtime right now he can't even see daylight. Here's what he had to say about it last week:
“Running a start-up is like eating glass. You just start to like the taste of your own blood.”
Sounds like he's having a blast, lol.
Hot Damn!
I kind of feel proud. Damn, this means I actually care about WSO.
I need to contemplate what's happening to me. Preferably over a drink with Pat.
This is fantastic news. It's been fun to be a part of it.
Congratulations team
Congrats. I'm impressed that only 35% of the trafic in the top 20 (2-20) comes from other countries than the USA
Wow! I'm impressed to see the international numbers as high as they are.
Congrats Patrick! This is huge.
Congrats!
200k by 2014? let's do it!!!
Congrats!
Congrats, team!
Pretty amazing. Congrats Patrick and the rest of the WSO team.
For celebration, you should hand out a couple free bananas to the userbase; if nothing, at least so that I have some to SB this post.
Crank up the banana presses! We're printing WSO currency!
