FWIW, Randy had actually tipped us off a bit earlier!

Excellent!
I can't help wondering, though, what Randy would have written if the millionth post had been the next entry in Omni's Word Association thread, or worse yet someone bashing someone else for something equally irrelevant. Statistically, it's probably a good thing that most of the posts on these boards tend to be helpful.

Like a proud parent i probably would have stayed with whatever post it was since we had many around here keeping track since yesterday. We kept it low profile since we did not want people to play with post counts. While we had a lot of ideas of promoting this, we realize that the success of FlyerTalk is in the next post that someone makes. You all share in this and I still rememberthe one shining moment when Catman, Rudi and NJDavid presented the official FlyerTalk URL to me at the PIP (PremEx assisting). That really started it all.....

Randy, many congrats and much success for the future. I'm sure you've found Flyertalk to be like a a bad cousin sleeping on your sofa - no matter how hard you try you can't get him to behave, and no matter how much he misbehaves, you can't find it in your heart to kick him out.
Frankly, only 426,347 posts were worthwhile, the rest were garbage and TOS violations...and 134,202 posts were thrown out in the value-posting process.

Thanks for the credit Randy, but in all fairness, although I was there at the PIP and I may have said "That's a great idea" or something when the thought of protecting the domain name came up, it's really NJDavid, Rudi and Catman that did the deed.
Here they are signing over the domain name to you and your company.
Congrats to everyone past and present that made this board the place it is...NJAFIBB!

YIKES! It's almost three years since the PIP!
(November, 1999!)
I had HAIR THEN!
But Rudi and NJDavid still look so young, three years later!
PRemEx, maybe Randy thought you were part of the domain gift because you did SO MUCH putting the PIP together (with Rudi and Tropical Flyer especially, and other friends!)
Congrats Randy and Raif on this milestone!

Catman, with less than a month to the big four-o, one thing I am very much NOT is young.
But I do agree that Rudi is ageless.
