Australian (ASX) Stock Market Forum

Aussie Stock Forums 10th birthday competition!

It was 10 years ago this month that I first registered the aussiestockforums.com domain name, signed up for a cheap hosting account, installed some forum software and set about getting people to register and post. 10 years, and almost 21,000 threads and 800,000 posts later we're still around and going strong!

Thank you to all who have contributed to the many thousands of discussions we have had here at ASF! Your posts have helped to make it into the incredibly useful storehouse of wisdom and knowledge that it has become.

To celebrate ASF's 10th birthday I have decided to run a competition that all ASF members can enter. Between now and the close of trade on Friday, May 16th, please post your guess in this thread about what the value of the All Ordinaries Index (XAO) will be at the close of trade on May 28th, the day back in 2004 that ASF first appeared online. The entrant whose guess is the closest will win a Nexus 7 32GB Android tablet!

If you're out there unregistered and lurking, now is the perfect time to register an account and become a part of the ASF community!



The XAO index will be 5457

Wow, this competition sure has flushed some lurkers out of the woodwork!
 
Thank you to everyone for the kind words and congratulations!

ASF has had its ups and downs over the years, and traffic levels have fluctuated wildly as the market rose during the equities boom between 2004 and 2007 and then declined when the GFC took hold in 2008.

However, I am very grateful to those loyal ASF members who have kept on coming back and contributing, day after day, year after year. I know that there are times that my management style may have disappointed some, but I have only ever strived to create a community that I would want to be a member of. That has been the overriding principle that has guided the way I have managed ASF over the years, and it remains so today.

So thank you to all those ASF members (and moderators) who have helped mould it into the vibrant, thriving online community that it is today. I hope to see you all here in 2024 for another competition! :)

Yep I have been lurking for a while.

Haven't seen you around in a while Brer. You've been here almost as long as ASF has. Nice to see you back posting!
