You are a bit early it was on the 24th of Sept., but congratiolations non the less. :-)
I think only http://www.rgbstock.com/user/tinneketin was on the site before you, but on the same day.
The site was still in development and didn't even have it's proper domainname yet.

Hi Lennie, I didn't remember the exact date! September 24, it was great days seeing how RGBStock was growing a bit every day, just a registration module when I registered. Our hopes & dreams was in this site and I don't want to forget it!. Now a days the dream is so real and nice!. Congrats to tinneketin and sure Jay and you was registered users too!. I bet more users registered in September too....

I registered soon after the site was open to public... time sure flies!

@7 I recall you being the first one to import your gallery last January.
11. xymonau5 September 2010, 2:05 GMT +02:00
I did import my gallery, but there was a glitch, so hundreds of images have no name. I am only chipping away at that slowly. And some didn't move across well. I had about a thousand, so it was a challenge. So glad we could import them, though. It would have taken forever to do it any other way.
I think it's wonderful that we have so many members now. Great photos, and the photo base is expanding rapidly. I was away at a conference for most of last week, and when I came back, the numbers seem to have grown dramatically.
Wonderful work, everybody!

@ 9, Cris, yeah, I tried downloading all the files for backup from the other site, it was tedious work, uploading all those images again would have been a serious pain in the neck. thanks to the import tool - that work's been saved! I cannot imagine doing that to some 300 odd images that I had, let alone a thousand or more that many here had!
14. lennie5 September 2010, 16:35 GMT +02:00
It also made sure the site got off to a good start. If people visit the site and there are only a few photos they will leave again very soon after.
15. krayker5 September 2010, 16:42 GMT +02:00
yeah, the first round pretty exciting, many here imported the entire lot and so the addition happened in chunks, espically getting to 30,000 was VERY fast, after that I suppose its been largely organic growth, the site got into the groove...
16. fishmonk5 September 2010, 23:42 GMT +02:00
I think I had almost 900.
I have to just treat it as a fresh start. There were a few rubbish images of mine there at the other place.
17. krayker6 September 2010, 5:24 GMT +02:00
I did that at there - every once in a while I'd dump the images with low downloads. given the kind of images that i have, I kind of wonder abt that too. like one of my recent images is of soapnut berries - not many people use it like say an image of a cellphone or like a background. It's not the best soapnut berry image, and probably barely makes the cut - but, at least people looking for an image of soapnut berries will be able to find it!
18. weirdvis6 September 2010, 8:01 GMT +02:00
I only have a fraction of my SXC gallery, about 25%. I, too, took the opportunity of weeding stuff out. A lot of it...
19. crisderaud6 September 2010, 18:55 GMT +02:00
I have only have of my previous gallery posted. My plan was to rebuild with new photos for a new site.
Think I will do some more paper textures. They seem to be moving pretty good lately and I have fun with the lights making them look dramatic.

I don't know the number of users before the site were open to public but I can see that only today there are 62 new users, and the day isn't finished yet.
Yes, numbers are growing.
21. lennie6 September 2010, 19:31 GMT +02:00
@28/Abyla About 30 users had an account before the site went public.
We got a lot of new users today because of this being mentioned here:

Wow, it's a great link for us, that site have more than 300K users.
23. lennie7 September 2010, 1:05 GMT +02:00
I'm disappointed we almost had the 3 digits, we 'only' had 98 new users added on Monday. ;-)
24. crisderaud7 September 2010, 3:37 GMT +02:00
That was 98 new members when the clock hit midnight at the server.
We have had 35 more since then and I am showing 5.5 hrs left of Monday where I am at. The flow hasn't stopped. They are just being added to Tuesday now.
25. weirdvis7 September 2010, 9:01 GMT +02:00
We'll hit three digits today. We're only three off right now and I ain't had my breakfast yet.
YAY!
