18,000 Members For The KillTheCan.org Support Forums!

I’ll be honest with you… I absolutely LOVE being able to put together this type of post!  Once again, in a record shattering time frame, I have the honor of announcing another milestone for KillTheCan.org.  Yesterday, our quit support forum hit another huge milestone when we crossed the 18,000 registered member mark!

Previously, the record growth rate for adding 1,000 new members was 84 days.  I’m thrilled to report that we crushed that.  For the 4th time in our history (and second time in a row) we managed to gain 1,000 members in less than a 100 day HOF cycle – it only took us a mere 78 days!!!

Here’s a look back at our growth since I’ve been keeping track:

• 18,000 members – 1.19.2014 – 78 days to go from 17,000 to 18,000
• 17,000 members – 11.2.2013 – 97 days to go from 16,000 to 17,000
• 16,000 members – 7.28.2013 – 110 days to go from 15,000 to 16,000
• 15,000 members – 4.9.2013 – 95 days to go from 14,000 to 15,000
• 14,000 members – 1.4.2013 – 104 days to go from 13,000 to 14,000
• 13,000 members – 9.22.2012 – 110 days to go from 12,000 to 13,000
• 12,000 members – 6.4.2012 – 103 days to go from 11,000 to 12,000
• 11,000 members – 2.22.2012 – 84 days to go from 10,000 to 11,000

• 7,000 members – 1.3.2011 – 167 days to go from 6,000 to 7,000
• 6,000 members – 7.20.2010 – 182 days to go from 5,000 to 6,000
• 5,000 members – 1.19.2010 – 141 days to go from 4,000 to 5,000
• 4,000 members – 6.9.2010

I snapped this picture and put it on our Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts to recognize the occasion.

We’re also getting dangerously close to 2.5 million posts on the forums.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… KillTheCan.org is the best place on the web if you’re looking to quit dipping.  But don’t take my word for it.  There are 18,000 other folks who “get it”.

You CAN quit dipping.  And we can help.

As always, I want to offer my sincere thanks to everyone who’s joined us so far and especially to the staff for making KillTheCan.org the incredible community that it is. Thank you, thank you, thank you!  On to 19k and then… to 20,000 members!!!

PS: Photo was taken from a Google Image search for “18,000″. It is a patch from a hockey sweater for a “team of 18,000”. This seemed rather appropriate as we are the best quit team out there!
