Yesterday afternoon, BiggerPockets signed up our 300,000th member! Just 9 short months ago, we were only 200,000. Exponential growth is fascinating to watch!
Can we be at 400,000 by the end of 2015? Seems do-able.
It took me so long to write this up, that we are actually almost up to 301,000 members today, and it is only midday!
This is such an exciting accomplishment, and it happened on my very first day. Coincidence? Hmmm...
Congratulations to the whole BiggerPockets staff, and thank you all for helping this awesome community grow!

Congrats!!! BP is really making the world a better place with this free exchange of knowledge and ideas. Great job: @Brandon and @Josh. My @ symbol is not working for some reason. Also, what credit do you get for leading people to BP? Just wondering.

@Anil Samuel - You need to type the full name for it to load or try @? to load previous posters in a thread. As for referrals, you can invite them on board with our invite short link or via our email tool at - http://www.biggerpockets.com/invites
We have awards and offer you the knowledge that you're helping your friends be more successful in their lives.
I appreciate the quick response. Everyone I meet, I tell them about BP, it really is a great networking tool to connect with like minded individuals. I look forward to growing with this great community!
When the site reaches 1 M members, you should start offering private stock to BP members first and then do an IPO. I will surely buy as many shares as I can get :-)

Just joined this week and I have already found tremendous value in this site. The wealth of knowledge that is so openly shared with industry pros and RE beginners, alike, is incredible to see. I have heard more and more about this site in recent weeks, I think we'll be posting on the 500,000 member thread very soon.

That is amazing! Congrats BP! I recently discovered this website and I can't believe I didn't hear about it from before? I feel like I've been living in a cave all these years, trying to hide all of my finds because other investors weren't so open to sharing information/knowledge (without a ridiculous fee) and even though real estate books have been a great resource, they don't provide live feedback or up-to-date information. Congrats again and thank you for everything you guys do for us!

Congratulations to everyone that has made this possible. It's a strong testament to how valuable and special building something that enables others to give back and support one another really is.
