100 Member drive

[Mayfly]

Well to tell you truthfully I did not think we would be this close to 100 members 5 days after announcing our site!

We have decided to have a drawing once we do hit 100 members. One lucky Person will be the winner of a $25.00 gift card to Gander Mountain and they will also recieve a pack of Ring-N Tubes donated by catchn.


So lets get to 100 so we can get rid of this stuff

Good Luck

Hey Tim,

I see you got my email. :) Hows the Jiffy treating you?

[Joe]

The way things are going we should hit 100 by the end of the week. I don't know what your expectations were, but it seems pretty good to me.

[the rogue]

the Jiffy is running great.  it was so warm this winter i was starting to wonder if i was going to get out and use it.  she is awful heavy when you can't drive out, but i love teh 9" inch holes.

i did  get out about 10x around the cities (Waconia, Sarah, Joe) with a quick trip to LOW and an overnighter to Mille Lacs thrown in. 

Are you still in the mortgage business or did you switch to full-time fisherman?  i wish there were such an option.    

The 'site' is looking good!

[DaveI]

I bet I'm the 100th one......naw, I'm not that lucky. Good to be here though.

[Mayfly]

8 more to go..... :)


As soon as we hit 100 we will do a drawing that icludes all 100 members, one lucky person will win and we'll get the goodies out to you right away!

[Rapalaguy]

$25 = 5 new Raps! I'm game!

[Mayfly]

$25 = 5 new Raps! I'm game!

[EastGullLake]

 :D Did i win? Drop it off at my house, TIM!

[Joe]

One more to go!

[jigglestick]

Daveo, better get that link for the drawing pretty quick.
who's going to be member number one hundred?
drumroll please........... :)

[PrincessPerch]

Hey everyone I'm happy to be member # 100!!!   I'm an outdoorsmen in training so I hope there's a lot to learn here...the site looks great and looks like its getting a lot of traffic...I'm pumped!

[7Pines]

Welcome!  Jeesh, you'd think you'd get somethin' like a new full-size pickup or a trip to Tahiti for being #100!
O.k., maybe not...

[Joe]

Welcome PrincessPerch

Number 100....woooohoooo!!

[Spinach]

We will try to have the drawing today, the drawing will include all 100 members except for staff.

Good luck to everyone.

[Spinach]

I'm trying to figure out a fair way to do this drawing? Besides writing every # down from 1-100, is there any other ideas?

[7Pines]

Good question, how would you do it? ???
Don't tell me you gotta bust out yer pen and a bunch of little scraps of paper? :-\

[jigglestick]

i got daveo calling me back. lets see if he's got something we can use. he must have missed this or lost track of this topic.
easy to do.

side note, i just asked my daughter to think of all the numbers between and including 1 and 100. she thought for five seconds or so and said a number. not very scientific, but it was definately random. i have not and will not look at the list, but if there were no objections..............

[jigglestick]

pat, daveo is calling you.
he said it is easy to do. anybody can build one.
i still have kate's chosen number too

[Spinach]

If DaveO has something that will work, we'll wait a little while for him, otherwise I was thinking a deck of cards? But how?

No matter which method we use, lets try and announce a winner sometime this evening.

[eelpout]

Just pick me and that will solve everything.   

[jigglestick]

the way i see it, you already got a sure bet on the photo contest. don't get your hopes up :D

poutstick, you got as good a chance as anybody.
just to let you all know if for some dumb reason i get picked, which is so far fetched you can't even imagine, i will throw it back in the hat for our members to have yet another chance.

[ScottPugh]

Here is a program that will pick a random number between 0 and 100 (or what ever # you want). 

I tried it four times and the 1st number to come up was different every time.

[Spinach]

Thanks Scott,

This is the method we will be using, the winner will be announce in a couple of hours, Around 5pm

[Spinach]

And the winner is.......

I used The random # picker that Scott supplied, I hit the button and wrote down 5 random #'s, I asked Mayfly to pick a # between 1 and 5, we came up with  the winner.

Member #89 "Katoman" is the winner of a $25 gift card from Gander Mountain and 1 pack of Ring N Tubes from Catch N tackle.

Katoman, please pm me your address and contact information, we will send these items to you right away. :)

We will do another random drawing for our 300 member drive, we will donate another $25 gift card to Gander Mountain.

[Joe]

Sorry if I'm being a dumb butt here, but where does it say what your member number is?

[Spinach]

Sorry if I'm being a dumb butt here, but where does it say what your member number is?

Good question.

The forum version we are using on this site (SMF) shows the member list in alphabetical order to the general members, this is there default version. Administrators can view either alphabetical or by member #.

This is something that I would like to change sometime, it's not a simple thing to add, so it might take a while to do.

If anyone is interested in knowing there member #, please ask or pm me.

[Rapalaguy]

If you scroll your mouse to a users name, then look at the bottom of the screen their # shows up, at least for me it does.
