Crossing 3,000 member level was decided to celebrate with style.

Once HostingDiscussion.com hits the 3,000 mark, one randomly chosen member will be awarded with FREE 3,000 reward points he/she can later in the year exchange for products/services at HD Store.

In general, 3,000 points do not come easy. It is equivalent to 1,500 posts, 600 new threads or 150 referred members.

But someone is about to hit the jackpot. Who is it going to be?

STAFF MEMBERS ARE NOT
ELIGIBLE FOR THE PRIZE.

Wonders where he put that script that auto joins forums....wait, that would be cheating and my IP address would get banned - I knew I should have waited longer before registering....



(Flowers always make a good impression on the mods)

This doesn't mean that the 3,000th member will receive the prize. It means that when we hit that mark, then we take the first 3000 members (less staff members) and make a draw for the winner. It might be anyone.
And yes it does. Thanks a lot.

Ahh, I see said the blind man....thats even better then =)

AussiePC has just become our 3,000th member!

Rules for the draw of 3,000 reward points ($150 value) will be provided later on in the day.

Best,

Hey, hey

Congrats!!!
I wish you 5000 members after 1 months!

Wow... HD is growing really fast...

Congratulations Art!

By the way, 3001 members right now ...

I was #2,999 :-D I didn't even look at the count until after i registered and saw your post about a give-away :-p

Registering as 3,000th member has nothing to do with the give-away. One of all 3,000 members has an equal chance to win, except for staffers.

Best,

Ya i understand that, just thought it was odd that i just got in under the line ;-)
