A hundred thousand posts in Eileen's Lounge

[HansV]

Dear fellow Loungers,

It is almost three-and-a-half years ago that we founded Eileen's Lounge. We had no idea whether it would be viable. After a great start, it gradually became quieter, and there have been times when we thought it would slowly fizzle out. But during the last months, we've seen a modest growth.

Today, the 100,000th post was made.

Congratulations, Leif! Here is your reward: 00000

And to all of you: thank you very much for making Eileen's Lounge such a great community! It's party time!

I confess that I've just found you after those 3 1/2 years.
I've wondered where all of "us" went, then saw the posting on the WS Lounge about Big Al Doc's passing.
Glad to be back!

I for one have received invaluable assistance on the lounge. I am very appreciative for the time and effort that others have put out giving assistance. I hope I can reciprocate in some way.

Happy Birthday

It was a fun BD and now a more momentous day since Leif made the 100,000 post! I can visualize Eileen's Lounge Money floating down over him as happens in those commercials where a customer is the one to reach the store's goal. In this case, the Lounge's goal.
Congratulations again to Eileen's Lounge and the people behind the scenes that provide this wonderful space for us!

And I second that ! ! !

We are indeed fortunate to have the administration and the members that make this such a wonderful place. Thanks to all who breathe life into this forum and make it the extraordinary sanctuary that it is.
