@Maureen Campbell - You can possibly use something like Google Voice to get texts, but otherwise, I'm not sure. There is no requirement to set up the 2fa, though.

@George P. - We have NO evidence that our site has been hacked at any point in time.  If you're getting junk email, you may want to think about who you're letting into your network.  We don't give out email addresses without our user's express permission.

@Mary B. - We've had https on all credit card payments since we started taking them and have also transmitted passwords the same way.  We've now forced ALL pages on the main site to be secure and will push this out to 100% of the site in the near future.

@Daria B. - We don't give member phone numbers out to anyone.  They are used solely for the purpose that our users set up - for getting text message alerts from the site OR for 2fa

It took BP 10 years to get to 1,000,000, but just 11 months to add 500,000 more.  It's great to have a place where so many investors can learn and connect to become even better.  Congrats Josh and team (and every member)!

 AMAZING!

@Nathan Love - Unfortunately, iTunes stopped showing all our previous episodes a month or so ago.  We've been told that there's some kind of bug in iTunes and that other podcasts are also affected, but I can't confirm that.  At the end of the day, you can access our podcasts at http://www.biggerpockets.com/podcast on our YouTube Channel (not quite all have been uploaded, but we're getting closer), and via Stitcher / SoundCloud.

I hope we'll see iTunes share the rest of our shows again at some point, but I don't have any idea if/when that'll happen.

We're close to 360k members now and reach well over 1.2 million people per month.  Just because people aren't registered as members on the site doesn't mean that BiggerPockets doesn't affect them or their decision making.

BiggerPockets has reached tens of millions of people since our launch.

I believe our impact is far greater that I even think.

Just throwing that in....

@Bill Gulley - There's no delay and never has been.  We don't highlight every post on the front page of our blog platform, but any post that is free of advertising and self-promotion, that adds value, should certainly remain on the front page of the platform -- at least for a little bit.

Nice work, @Account Closed.  As you already know, BP member blogs are awesome for building up a readership.  Keep up the good work.

@Steve Babiak - My issue wasn't with squirrels.  It was with Tree Rats.  This was in a place I was renting myself -- absolute nightmare.  The landlord just needed to get traps set up and we were good.  That was 2+ months of hell, though.
