If you are interested, the PRESS RELEASE is Here


Your Humble Host,

Frank B.

Congratulations, Frank, on an important milestone! PW has got to be one of the most successful theme-based forums of all time.

Now all I have to do is think of a way to ensure that the one millionth post gets posted in the "1" thread...

Wow.... 1M.

cool - think it will happen today?

My prediction is some time on Wednesday, based on our average of just over 403 posts per day.

I think its very nice that you are giving a new grand piano to the millionth post..,

Congrats on a great forum...

and I wouldn't care if it was a stenciled piano or not!!! !

Michael,

As I read this, you are about to reach a milestone, too!

Actually, I heard it was a Rubenstein.

You should post the name of the one-millionth poster.

btw Frank,

i love your new avatar!

Would that stencil be the world famous Steinaha, Changgraeber, & Sohns?

My sources tell me that the sons have fled and are now producing the Bachstein, Cabelevski, Rachmanninriver, and Petrokioff.

Will they be in the new edition of the Piano Bruch Seilerment?

Congratulations Frank!!!

Congrats, Frank, who would have thunk it, huh?

998,938 (right now) at 403/day puts it at Wednesday around 11:30 am (Pacific time).

Fantastic Frank ... Wonderful news ... Congratulations!

Best regards,

Bear

Congradulations. This is a great place to spend time and learn and make friends. Thank you very much.

Frank, Had you been charging a buck a post you'd be a millionare!

I think anyone with over 5000 posts should be paid for their support.

Where do we send the bill?

I think anyone with over 5000 posts should be charged for the bandwidth they've used.
Where do I send the bill?

Frank,

A dream come true! Congratulations! Thanks for founding and hosting this wonderful forum!

Kenny,

One very nice looking cake!

Betty

Unlike my other posts today, this one is purely an attempt to bump us closer to the goal. Go PW!

Frank,

Thanks for this great tool and resource. It helps me learn more about an instrument I love through folks I respect.

only 902 posts to go..

659

Wow. That's impressive! A million! Congrats....

Congratulations Frank - I've learned so much from all my forum friends.

Be great if we could all meet and celebrate your achievement.

518 to go. Wow! What a milestone. Congrats!!!

...and this post's just for the sake of bringing us one closer.

Frank,

It's really getting close. I think it will happen by this evening. I hope you stay on line and are able to take the 1 million. Are you able to lock it at 999,999? Will you put it in the #1 post? We'll all be watching.

243...

Only 217 left.

Maybe we can beat Frank's prediction and squeeze in post 1M by midnight tonight.

Heck, that's one day earlier that PW could raise its web advertising rates.

I like your thinking.

I have a press release all set up to hit the wires ... tomorrow. Based on our daily averages, I figured we'd hit the magic number sometime in the early hours of Wednesday.

But your right, we could hit it late tonight

Here's my contribution!

And mine.

Frank: if your going to make a speech..don't say "I like to thank the Academy"!

84 to go

I've got the balloon drop all set!

It was supposed to happen tomorrow.

I computed it based on our average daily posts, and set up a press release and newsletter to go out Wednesday.

But now it looks like our verbose membership is going to hit the 1 MILLION POSTS[/b] mark tonight!

For some perspective, here is what 1 Million Looks Like...




Oh, wait, that's Raquel Welch in 1 million BC

Try this one...


1 Million Pennies

(I collect wheat pennies. Do you think they'd mind if I looked through these?)

Any minute, even -

Cathy

pushing it a little closer...congratulations, Frank, for your (and our) achievement on behalf of that wonderful instrument.

Congratulations Frank!

Less than 20 to go!!!!

Thanks for ALL Piano World is.

How many more until the magic number?

Almost one million. (Boy do I feel sorry for that search function).

(Just doing my job to help us get there!)

Only 10 to go!

Getting closer and closer

Jim

I thought it would happen overnight, while I was asleep.

No way I'm going to sleep now, we are going to hit the MAGIC NUMBER any time now.

Wow, who would have thought we'd be this close to 1 million posts? Yikes!!

We did it!!!!

Congratulations on reaching this milestone!!!!

I just looked and it's now one million four.
Who was the millionth poster?
Congratulations Frank, PW is my only frequented web site.

Mike

Who was the 1 millionth poster? Was it in the one thread?

No way to know exactly which post was # 1 million.
But that's as it should be, because everyone has contributed in a million ways.

Many thanks to all our wonderful members for helping us reach this fantastic milestone!

You should all be proud that you've contributed, and showed the world that the piano is still KING!

Anyone who doubts the piano is still popular, hasn't met our Piano Forums Members!!!

Thank you for making Piano World what it is today, and please stay with us as we continue to grow, spreading the joy of playing the piano and piano music to everyone who will listen.

Your humble host,

Frank B.

Congratulations particularly to Frank and to all of us, as well, who make this place an irresistable stop in our daily travels!

Piano World is the place to be!!!

Congratulations Frank and fellow members!

Dearest Frank:

I think I can speak for almost all of us when I say that this forum has made a huge impact on not only our piano interests but also as a wonderful way of reaching out to those who share our love for piano.

We will be eternally grateful to you...

Kathleen

Congratulations to you, Frank, and to everyone on PW!! Like great music, it was an ensemble effort.

On to 2,000,000!


All the best,

Sophia

I myself contributed over 80,000 posts (look at my stats below), so a large portion of congrats should go to me. Thanks ALL!

Wuhoo! Party!

How do you figure that? Posts: 1054, according to the "real" stats.

Regards,

Is this how you feel?



Congrats Frank, and Pianoworld! You're in the big leagues now! I am sure you will see an offer from Steinway or Yamaha to purchase this domain soon...

Love the graphic, yes, that's exactly how I feel :-)

I've already fielded a couple of inquiries (before we hit a million posts).

I'm holding out for the call from Google :-)

Congratulations on 1 million posts, Frank.

This site is a gold mine. No one book can carry the wisdom that these forums have.

- Mark

Love that cork popping!

Well I have to say I've never had Champagne so now is the time to raise a glass and change that!

And may I also say Frank B. you are "One in a Million"! You are truly a Gentleman to us all here!

Congratulations on 1,000,000!

Cheers!

"CORRECTION: We Hit the ONE MILLION POSTS mark Tuesday night!"[/b]

Piano Forum Hits a Million - Proof the Piano is Still Popular
Melodika.net - Sofia,Bulgaria[/b]
The World Famous Piano Forums at PianoWorld.com reached a major milestone today when the forums passed the one million post mark. ...

http://www.melodika.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3958&Itemid=50

I was so knee-deep in multi-tasking of deadlines for the good part of last week that I had missed all of this grand celebrations and so, better late than never.

My deepest gratitudes and a big thank you to Frank and everyone for helping to make PW possible and the process of learning how to play the piano an absolute joy!

Cheers!!!

Congratulations Frank,

...And to all forum members, constant contributors, topic hosts, personalities, newbies, alumni, members emeritus, and members no longer with us.

1000000 posts. Wow!

l's dad

Somewhere, somehow, sometime - things just went right. Frank - when the definitive history of the Internet from DARPA days onwards is written, someone will, I am sure, be mentioning how this forum got 1,000,000 posts.

And when its 20th edition appears - this fact will still not be expunged.

Mark my words.

Well done!!!!!

ILH

congratulations, frank, on this huge millstone, uh, i mean milestone .

Good luck may the second million come even quicker than the first. Congrats.
