    30000 members.
    Considering that it will take a maximum of 2 minutes per member, that gives you 60000 minutes

    That's 1000 hours

    Which is 41.66 ~~ 42 days

    Which means that you'll have to sit at your terminal NONSTOP for 42 days, mailing all of the members.



    Better stock up on that coffee
    Good luck.

    Unless of course, he enjoys that type of thing

    yeah i posted that other thread about getting everyone online... can't we just hack the vbforums database get all the email addresses and mass email them?? i mean it can't be that hard...


    anyways... how many members do you think are truly active in the forum?? there are a lot of registered users.. but i would say thousands of them are way long gone

    yeah but maybe a 'reunion' is in order and would bring some of the people back...
    (or we could create multiple user ids and do it ourself (just kidding))
