    Alright good folks. A grand milestone is fast approaching - CodeProject's 10,000,000th member! Chris has given me the go-ahead to reach out and ask what you all think would be a good way to celebrate this landmark, so please tell us your ideas. We'd love to hear them.

    How bout start a poll on when we think the person will register. Also we could have a poll on what their first post is around (and that means no cheating and making duplicate accounts!) Those that guess correctly get some kewl CP swag :)

    Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

      Select a random India born member living in South Africa and give him: 1. One cool CP branded shirt. 2. All expenses paid trip to CP HQ. 3. Free beer till we reach 20 Million. 4. Send all the photographs and videos of #2 to 10 Millionth member. On a serious note, discounted rates on CP member selected software products. We can have a nice little poll to select the products.

        Get with the U.S. Congress to pass legislation to make illegal members now legal. Then, have the U.S. Congress conduct a census to ensure how to set up voting districts for a prize for 10,000,000 member, including requiring ID to vote. Then, scratch all the above because it'll never get outta committee until you buy them fancy trips to golfing resorts. == Otherwise, provide them some free top-notch dev tools (other than Microsoft!), a nice Android Tablet (Samsung) or iPad mini. More specifically, put these items in a list of potential items for us to vote on (then prove we didn't create a sock puppet account to win the prize...)

                                        Put the ten millionth membership on an auction to the highest bidder. Use the money to buy Gin, or cake. <edit>Personally I'd prefer some Bundaberg and Chocolate.</edit>

                                          Alright good folks. A grand milestone is fast approaching - CodeProject's 10,000,000th member! Chris has given me the go-ahead to reach out and ask what you all think would be a good way to celebrate this landmark, so please tell us your ideas. We'd love to hear them.

                                          How about a meet-and-greet at an all-included paid-for trip to a tropical island?
