30,000 Members! Thank You.

Dear Fellow Primates,

We have reached 30,000 members so I wanted to take this time to thank you for all of your continued support making Wall Street Oasis what it is today. So, thank you.

We continue to improve and our goal is to ensure that for years to come you can count on WSO to provide you with the entertainment and education needed to survive your careers on Wall Street. Obviously, the site wouldn't be where it is without you, the users that continue to give advice and their time without anything in return except bananas and Silver Bananas.

I think what makes the community so great is that in one thread we can discuss the merits of Health Care Reform, in the next thread we can save a users job and the next thread we can talk about how to get respect.

We are confident that by the end of 2010 we will hit the 40,000 member mark and our goal is to reach 50,000 by June 30, 2011. If you can help spread the word I would really appreciate it.

Thanks again and I look forward to our next 30,000.

-Patrick

Wow, congratulations guys.

Wall Street leaders now understand that they made a mistake, one born of their innocent and trusting nature. They trusted ordinary Americans to behave more responsibly than they themselves ever would, and these ordinary Americans betrayed their trust.
 

Congrats!

Nice work Patrick - congrats to everyone on making this a great community.

If you're operating at a loss, a 30x multiple doesn't seem so good all-of-a-sudden.
