First 1,000 posts or 100 members?

So, how long did your community take to reach its first 1,000 posts?

How about 100 members? Did it take you a few months to reach these goals? Or a couple days?

 

On my last forum what I closed, I reached 1,000 posts in about 5 days but didn't read 100 members.

 

GamerBB reached 1,000 post in like 4-5 days. Not sure how long it took to get 100 members though. I would say about a month and a half.

 

What helped you get 1,000 posts in such a short period of time?
@Savvy Very nice - were you actively marketing your community during this period?

 

Hold some nice competitions and nice content helps.

 

We reached 1000 posts in 5 days. And here is the archived announcement for that http://admin-talk.com/threads/goal-1000-posts-completed.147/ (Old)
We reached 100 members in about 11 days after opening. I remember those days, great memories

 

Very Nice work, I think of memory serves me right, it took EA about a month to hit 1,000+ posts, but that was a long long time ago, so don't hold me on that

 

Most definitely. I've been actively marketing my community since April 9th, 2011 which is when it opened.

 

My forum opened in January--we hit 1,000 posts somewhere at the end of March and 100 members on April 10.

 

About 20 hours. I made sure I had 10-15 posters as soon as I opened.
100 member took maybe 2 days.

 

I remember with the forum I was owning a couple of months ago and the forum I owned a few years ago it was roughly the same amount of time to gain 100 members and 1,000 posts which was around 2 - 3 months.

 

Your forum has been growing at a pretty rapid rate. Everytime I visit there are major changes in the stats

Well thats a decent amount of time it took to reach the 1,000 post milestone.

 

It's always great memories to surpass milestones in the beginning. Great work though.

 

Thanks, just trying to reach our next goal 30,000 posts, only 3000 away.. not much. Just need staff to post more and support from our members.

 

We'll get there very soon. It's not a tough milestone to reach, then after that, go for 50k posts which is even larger, and would take more time.

 

Hopefully we will reach 30,000 by this Saturday.

And back on topic ^

 

For 1,000 posts it took me like 4 days. I still haven't reached 100 members yet lol! We have a very high member post counts.

 

We reached 1,000 posts in 3-4 days, 7 days after opening we are on 2,000+ posts. As for members, we seem to be stuck on 68 members hah!

 

Great work - were you running a contest or anything to help boast your stats or was it strictly organic?

 

I think we got 1000 posts before we even opened. I had a few friends on the board stimulating conversation before I started advertising it.
