AGM reaches 700 Users

15
Vote

While relatively new to the site myself, AGM has seen almost a 30% increase in users since I have been here. While growth has been steady but slow, the dedication of certain users and their willingness to collaborate and advertise has been outstanding. A special thanks goes out to all the administrators who dedicate time to the site on almost a daily basis to either general improvements or assisting us witless bloggers who can't even wiki ourselves ourselves out of a wet paper bag.

The current rate seems to be around 50 some odd users a week, which is strong but not strong enough. I've noticed a lot more regulars starting to contribute which is great and writers like myself have slowed down a little but keep plugging along. As just a regular user, I will due my best to keep contributing what I think is something of value and quality

Congrats users!

Wasn't there a target to get to 1,000 by July 1? September 1 might be more realistic. Unless we can get 300 users overnight.

The over / under for 1,000 was set by me - it was suppose to be July 1st. September 1 is too much. The new over / under is August 1st. Lets get promoting!

8 hours here... They'll all be watching Wimbledon, or Germany v Argentina (which is what I'm off to do), so many of them won't even have their computers on. As far as I am aware, there are 3 English Users and 1 Welsh User (that now lives in England). 4/700 is not that impressive...

Go to a sports bar and hand out flyers "Watch Wimbledon, then Write About It. ArmchairGM, where you can be the sportswriter"

I'm not sure "Sports Bars" exist over here... However, I have persuaded some of my friends to use this site, if only to take part in my quizzes (speaking of which, Round 2 (France) is on Sunday), and I hope to get them involved in the wiki/discussion side through that. It'll mainly be "soccer", cricket, and rugby though I'm afraid.

Hey, I'm an aspiring journalist and I'm glad that I found this site because it has helped me refine my skills. Hopefully one day a newspaper Executive will see this website and contact some of us. If anyone needs a testimony, I'm your guy.

Armchair Gm has grown steadily since I arrived. I predict 1000 users by September and 2500 by this time next year.

I saw this site a while back by accident and didn't think much of it at the time. Then I had DNL check out my blogs and suggest I come join... I've been here only 3 days, and LOVE IT - (some of) YOU guys are pretty damned good and I'm glad to the opportunity to contribute, even if I am occasionally controversial, too wordy or run-on-ish at times...look forward to manny more -

Just promise me y'all will always write for the LOVE of sport and the JOY of writing (screw the journali$m for $$$ - IF it happens, it happens) but JUST WRITE; after all, we sports geeks wouldn't be here if we didn't LOVE it to begin with, right?

honestly, i didnt know about this site until cbssportsline.com wrote an article based on the "curse of the number 7 pick" in which they alluded to this website. At least we know that executive people on there are checking this site, so we're on our way!
