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!

[sakya]

Hi

Thanks for the opportunity

5498.5 is my prediction

 

[piggybank]

5555 - a quarter of the amount of days I have been on this planet minus the 10 months (and it didn't stop my Mom giving me 3 great siblings) I was imprisoned in her - God bless her.

Like most the other posters have said Joe, thank you for having started this GREAT forum - I have certainly learnt more here than all the other money forums I have been on.

Regards
PB

You joined in November 2005 ?

 

[Buckfont]

Thanks for a great forum Joe. Appreciate all the effort that you and all the mods/helpers put in to give a positive place for education and learning.

I'll go in at 5543.18.

Good luck to all. Bf

Very interesting to see sudden flux of people start punting on this, who joined long ago yet has only one or two posts altogether? Surely not spam?

I sent out an email early Monday morning to all ASF members to let them know about the competition. I was hoping that it would lure back some of those members who had registered a long time ago and may have forgotten about ASF. My strategy worked, but only time will tell if they stick around and become regulars again. Fingers crossed.

 

[explod]

I'll go for 4199 Joe.

Yes recieved you kind email thanks Joe

 

[Mattress]

My guess: 5419

 

[bhutos]
