September 2011 Milestone!

[Trevor Hale]

Since September 2009, Cockpitbuilders has brought the simulator building community a little bit closer together. We have not only provided a means to this solution, but we have managed to bring a non commercial fresh start to the industry. I personally feel this is what the hobby needed.

We are about to make what we consider to be a huge milestone. Guys,
We are about to reach 1000 members. Neither Bob nor I ever expected that Cockpitbuilders would have hit this milestone so quickly nor did we think it could have been achieved with such little speed bumps.

Without the help of Jack, Phil, the vendors, or the drive from the community, we would not have been able to see this happen exactly 2 years later.

Now it is time for us to give back to all of you. With an extra special thanks to Peter Cos , we are going to have a random membership draw for a Flightdeck Solutions $350.00 gift certificate applicable to any product they make. This will go a long way to helping someone get that extra part that they want while getting to realize the quality FDS offers.

In order to qualify, you must be a fully registered member here and have at least 10 posts under your belt before we hit the 1000 member mark. That's it

Once we reach the 1000 members. The forum will select a random member (staff excluded) and notify me. I will then make the announcement here.

Thank you for all for being a part of this amazing community that we've created here, and an extra special thank you to the staff for supporting it.

Best regards,
Trevor Hale

That's an awesome milestone to hit. It's been really fun being part of this community as it has grown. I agree that without all the vendors, this site and the hobby would not be what it is. It's always exciting to see what product they are coming up with next. Best of luck to everyone in the drawing!

Very cool,

I think we need a 1000 Member, "Post a Pic of Your Setup" thread.

Could we creat that and get it pinned? Lets see how many are really out there.

 Wow . . a lot of members in two years!   If I figured this right that is about 40 new members joined per month average.   I wonder how many of those are building a sim that we have not seen?  I bet you we have some closet builders!

Thanks!

Extra Thanks to Tyler for his generosity.
