Milestone: 100k Users

A big thanks to everyone who has signed up over the last year to drive Bonanzle membership to 100,000 as of 3:10pm PST today.  The good news is that your creative & unified efforts have driven unprecendented growth to the ranch over an incredibly short period of time.  The bad news?  Well, there is none yet.  But we are closely charting whether, in the course of realizing further milestones, Bonanzle could inadverently become "too sweet," possibly disrupting the delicate balance of the universe.  To illustrate the potential issue, we have commissioned a team of highly paid artists & scientists to create the following schematic, which meticulously details the situation as it stands.  As you can see, this most recent milestone has pushed us past "ice cream" and to the cusp of a very fine line.  Please be advised and stay vigilant.  Thank you very much, and keep up the great work!

Yes, you guys got what it takes to pull this off. Thank YOU for doing what you do and being who you are…I look forward.

momspennies says: 09/15/09 at 03:30:23

So Whats your point? LOL!
One can never be too sweet…(can we?)

Queenmum says: 09/15/09 at 04:01:00

Whoda thunk it?

Now the challenge is to stay sweet.

With such phenomenal growth, in such a short period of time,
it’s easy to lose sight of the original vision.

To paraphrase a quote:
Without my customers,
I am the president of
an empty building.

We, the sellers on Bonanzle, are your customers.

You guys, and all the sellers on Bonanzle,
have put in uncountable hours of toil,
blood, sweat, and yes, tears, to help bring this
incredible milestone about.

We are all somewhat in awe of
what we have accomplished,so far,
and we know growth is inevitable,
and with it,change,
especially considering
the diverse makeup of our community.

Just remember to under promise and over deliver,
keep it simple sweetheart,never lose that quirky sense of fun, and….
get that champagne button fixed!

Thank you Mark and Bill for a job more than well done! It’s high time that someone gave all the “other sites” a run for their money!!!! and you folks certainly did that…..and a round of applause for everyone who is so diligently working on their booths to keep them going! Remember, there is no such thing as “too sweet”!!! Congratulations!

I knew this site would grow fast when I first signed up. It has all the earmarks for a fantastic website.
Dedicated owners, wonderful sellers and awesome customer service.
Here’s to the next 100,000 which I’m sure will be in about a year

BlackSauceGothic says: 09/15/09 at 08:47:50

I really hate sweet!! I’m not at all a sweet person lol. But I do like this place and hope it stays as friendly as it grows. I only registered yesterday and a good few thousand came on after me so it’s growing really quickly.

Rods_Books says: 09/15/09 at 10:03:13

Sweet is a very nice word so we don’t mind that at all. Congrats to all of the hard work, Tom, Mark, Bill and the rest. If it were not for you and your development of this cool site, I could not of sold so many cheesy items, and we all know everyone needs some cheese now and then!!

I think not…….Go Bonanzle Go!!!

It won’t take a year for the next 100,000, it is growing way to fast to take that long. I am proud to be a part of this great site.
Never too sweet, put a little more sugar in it
we will all have a sugar high!!!

stuffyouneed says: 09/15/09 at 16:37:08

The only thing that could be a little ahead of Bonanzle on the Sweet-O-Meter would be CHOCOLATE ice cream! Great job guys and members. Cheers to all!

Bobisbroke says: 09/15/09 at 18:27:00

It was a great party yesterday. 100,000 members are better than sweet. We may all need to diet.

I am in Awe of what we have accomplished in just one year since I joined in Oct 2008.
This took a “Group Effort” !
Not only did the Boyz provide us with a fun selling site and listen to our requests, and make us happy to recommend this to others, I would also like to thank all the members who over the past year have promoted, promoted & promoted Bonanzle and helped others to make this the greatest place on the Internet Hiway. What a wonderful Anniversary Present for all of us.

Hi everyone .. I just joined a little while ago and I am really lost. :( I have been selling on Ebay for 10 yrs and I saw on a blog that this was a better place these days.. so I decided to try it. I put one thing in my store.. I figured that much out.. but my page doesn’t look like any of yours???

bparkerhouse says: 01/29/10 at 19:51:45

Congratualations to you and to all of us. You have done such a great job. I have really enjoyed being here. I know we are going to grow. And, I absolutely love that I say “we”. You have made this our place, a place that we want to grow and succeed in and stay apart of as we all grow.
