Around SBN: 2012 Africa Cup Of Nations Final

Hammer & Rails Nation: Now 400 strong

I just wanted to share a quick thank you today as we passed a new milestone. Hammer & Rails officially debuted a little less than a year ago (February 21 to be exact). Today, we passed 400 members. You guys are officially awesome. I thank everyone who has read, left a comment, or even signed up to get to this point. I know We're not as big as some of the other SBNation sites out there, but it has been a strong first year.

FYI, I'll be working tomorrow after work on a finalization post for signing day, so that will be the first step towards 500 members.

Stuff in the FanPosts is entirely at the discretion of those that post them. They do not represent the views of Hammer & Rails, SBNation, or Purdue University in any way.

Well then he could just repost

With 400 people in ~350 days, that means 1 person every 21 hours…and that’s assuming a linear model, not quasi-exponential.

Whatever the formula should be, 400’s an impressive accomplishment and a testament to hard work and the owner not letting things get in his way of keeping this site going strong. We all know it hasn’t been easy.

I hate to break this to you T-Mill

But I’ve just signed up here under 398 different accounts. You and your mother are probably the other two.

Lurking

I’m a lurker who doesn’t post much if at all, but wanted to say great work on the site. I’m an ardent follower via Google Reader.
