At 9:40 AM Central Standard Time, I, Rob Henderson, did post the 500,000th post on International Military Forums. I hereby accept all honors and privileges therein, and am grateful that I was given this opportunity. I'd first like to dedicate my post to Team Infidel, AKA TI, for it was his urging that pushed us all to make the effort. Secondly, I'd like to thank all those that helped us reach this historic mark. Namely, TI, Sevens, MontyB, wolfen, AB_Shorts_Momma, pixiedustboo, The Other Guy, tomtom22, and all others who gave their contributions.



We made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
of course we have to thank Redleg for this forum in the first place. without him, we wouldn't be able to do this. now... redleg... time to get our place firmly noted on the world stage.. :)
 
Congratulations Rob, you did indeed get the 500k post here!! :D

hehe. it's in 2004 that I see nicknames I recognize. That's when I joined anyways.
I'm surprised we still have a good portion of our core group here.
But man we need to recruit!
 
WOW! Congrats everyone! I was spending some quality time with the family (hubby had a couple weeks at home which is a rarity).

I'm glad to see we made it, and would love to see a goal of 100,000 each year!

It would be interesting to see how many posts we have on here minus the "general chit chat" and deleted posts.;-)
