An everythingiCafe thank you to members who have achieved genius status

[chris]

Today, our website will eclipse 100,000 members. Members who have achieved ‘genius’ status, I’d like to personally thank you for your contributions to the site. You’ve helped shape our community
and made it the absolute best place for iPhone discussion.

We'll have plenty of contests coming up this month, but I think it's important that we reward those of you who have made a significant difference here at everythingiCafe. If you've made a contribution of over 1,000 posts prior to October 1st and you are a member in good standing, I'd like to send you a $10 iTunes Gift Certificate as a thank you.

http://www.everythingicafe.com/images/wordpress/uploads/2009/10/member-rewards.png

To redeem, simply reply to this thread and send me a PM with the following:


First and last name (this will not be shared publicly)
Updated: Your physical mailing address.


You must submit this information by October 15th. Due to the sheer number of members over 1,000 posts, this could take some time for me to process everyone, so please be patient.

Updated: If you have not already received a gift certificate and PM response from me, then you will need to send me another PM with your mailing address. Your iTunes gift card will be sent out within the next 7-10 days.

Thanks once again to everyone who makes this place what it is today.

-Chris

[ZR_Yancy]

Yay! Thanks Chris!

[MileHighRob]

Awesome... thanks Chris for providing this online space known as our community!

[iNinja]

Thank you Chris :)

[chris]

Chris, Thank you! I will send you a PM now, but im in the UK, hope this is ok...

Unfortunately, I don't think I can purchase gift cards for anyone out of the US. I'll update the thread accordingly to match the email sent today. Doesn't make much sense, but that's Apple. Sorry about that..

[FlwrPwer]

Wow! Thanks so much Chris! That is so nice of you! :dft010:smiling

Thank you for giving us a place to share our iphone passion....:dft012:wink

[Mickeylittle]

I'm not a genius, not even close. But I think this is wonderful. This site has given me a much better iPhone experience, and I have been rescued by many here. So thank you Chris for working to provide such a community and thank you Geniuses and others for your excellent info.:ok:ok

[dturner]

Thank you Chris. I am so glad I found this site. In the early days I learned so much, and still find things from time to time that I didn't know, and now enjoy helping others and just chatting with the numerous "friends" I have made here.

[TrippalHealicks]

Woot! Thanks a ton!!!!

Damn...thats not good!

[chris]

Damn...thats not good!

Let me look at some other options -- perhaps eBay? I'll be in touch via PM.

[termleech]

Chris you are the man. EIC is the best forum around for iPhone and iTouch related discussions.

[iNinja]

Let me look at some other options -- perhaps eBay? I'll be in touch via PM.

sorry Chris, that wasnt meant as a complaint... hope you didnt take it as one, but thanks, ill await a pm... thanks again

[Hawk]

Just or more reason why EIC is the place to Be!!

[TarekElsakka]

Thank you, Chris, for that. I am in Egypt so I don't really need the card hehe.

I love EiC. http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/off-topic/thank-you-chris-55597.html

[michael180]

That's why this is the best. Thanks Chris . . .

[Griffinaz]

Thank you very much. This is the greatest iPhone site on the net and I am so glad you spearheaded the creation of the site. 100,000 members, what a fantastic milestone. 1,000,000 is next.

[jjvaldez]

wow chris this is insane, really the coolest thing ever, man thanks so much, PM sent, again thanks!

[evolution83]

Thank you so much, Chris. Definitely the best site around. :)

[psylichon]

100,000... holy crap! I had no idea we were getting that big. Makes sense though... the people in this community are just amazing and keep you coming back for more.

Thanks for the gift, Chris. You're the best.

[dcom]

Wow, excellent, thank you very much!

[smknSRT8]

Wow, this is incredible. Thanks a ton chris!

[up10ad]

Chris, you never cease to amaze me, thanks!

[edit] HAHA, Chris exceeded his PM mailbox quota. Even the boss has limits!

[aggieman]

wow chris, i know i've said it before, but you are the man!

Like the others said, this truly is the best site around. I think the fact that so many of us have stuck around so long and membership eclipsing six figures reinforces that thought.

Haha, this is true ;)

Been tied up with life, y'know, its what happens when you're busy making other plans.

On the iphone side of things, I'm waiting for my upgrade eligibility in October so I can finally move into a 3gs at a decent price. I'm still jailbroken, can't live without the 5 icon dock it seems. I tried to go legit, but once you know whats possible outside of the box its hard to stay inside ;)

Don't want to hijack this thread, so lets catch up in another one.

Greets to all the vets here, and a jumping high five to Chris!

[free2rhyme590]

Awesome! Thanks chris for creating this community. EIC is full of information and great people

[aggieman]

Cleared it out and expanded my quota. Please resubmit. Thanks.:ok:ok

I never submitted.

What he said! With a little of what jj and dturner and many others said mixed in.

Congrats on a great, and much deserved, milestone - and thank you.

Greetings to you - very good to see you here again. Have you made a catch-up thread yet?

[iCafe]

Thank you Chris this is awesome of you, Is this your special way of telling me that one day you will make me a Mod?

[acosmichippo]

Sweet!

So do I get 8 of them?

[acosmichippo]

Btw, Chris, this reminds me that the memberlist has not worked for
me in quite some time. Any chance of getting it up-and-running again?





Hmm... Nevermind... Seems to be working now.

Looks like there are 80 Geniuses right now.

[Ramesh]

Thanks, Chris!

[TarekElsakka]

Oh man!!!! How exciting!!!

[JWiPhone]

Thank you Chris. This is a very thoughtful gesture from you. I have always believed that EverythingiCafe was the best community on the Internet for sharing our interest in the iPhone, and your hard work makes it all possible.

[Hondamaker]

Man, thanks a lot, Chris!

[TarekElsakka]

The_Apple, LOL!!

[SikShift]

Thweet! Thanks Chris :ok:ok

You dont use it for Starbucks discount?? Ive also heard you get the fast pass tickets at Disney for being a genius... :dft011:wicked_smile

[Lincoln]

100,000... jeez! I had no idea. This place certainly has grown a lot since I joined back in August of '07.

Thanks a ton, Chris, for the credit and for this excellent site.

[monkeysrock0622]

Thank you Chris for all you have done for us. This is definitely a wonderful site and nothing like the rest of the web.

[Europa]

Chris, thanks for creating this forum, your ongoing dedication to updating it, and now for personally thanking those with Genius status for their contribution.

I love this place!

Thank You Chris !

[iNinja]

Just out of interest, following a discussion with another member, how many genius' are there? Also, do you know how many are from our side of the pond?

[TarekElsakka]

Go to Member List (which isn't working for me for some reason), click Posts (in order to sort users from highest to lowest) and start counting how many Geniuses there are? I think that's how it's done.

[Europa]

I think there are approximately 80.

LOL you have to achieved genius by oct 1st. Cant believe out of 100,000 members we are in the top 60 people! lol

[TarekElsakka]

She still has a few hours :p. By the way, your avatar reminds me of Afro Samurai if you know that game. It's one of the best games I've played on the 360 so far, but there's a boss that I just can't beat. I've been stuck with him for over a month now but I avoid playing it so I wouldn't get mad. Just like two tries a week.

http://hypebeast.com/image/2007/10/afro-samurai-xlarge-figure-3.jpg

[TarekElsakka]

YEAH HAHAHA THAT'S HIM. Did I mention the graphics are awesome and the fact that it is also based on Hip-Hop makes the game a hell lot better! The white haired man with Afro Samurai (his guide or something) is also really, really funny. And the fact that they keep swearing in the game is also cool.

PS. "HEY AFRO!!" that's how he wakes Afro up after/before each level :D.

hahaha yup, i love this game. Not massive in the UK yet though. Hopefully that will change! V Funny and current

[TarekElsakka]

Did you by any chance finish it? Or do you just play it for fun when you're bored? Because I can tell you which boss I am stuck with so maybe you can guide me on how to beat him. I've read and watched many walkthroughs on how to beat him but I just can't get the hang of it. And the more I try, the more I get mad, so I am afraid I'd reach the point of breaking the controller and throwing the game out of the window. :(

[kakofonix]

Quite a milestone. Congratulations all around, especially to Chris and the Super-moderators. This place is what it is because of what you do so selflessly. I need to up my game, though - a lot of the Geniuses joined after me! No complaints, I was quite happy to remain a Zealot for a while. Now they're making me preach the gospel according to EverythingiCafe!:005:snicker

I dont think ive ever completed a game ever! Maybe metal gear solid, with walkthroughs lol.

Im way back in the game, ive only just got it from a friend - he didnt like it so swapped for Fifa - a soccer game

[TarekElsakka]

Don't you think I know what Fifa is? :P. I'm a hardcore gamer, I've almost all good games on Xbox 360. I finished Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty 5: World at War, Resident Evil 5, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Watchmen: The End is Nigh (both parts), WWE vs Raw 2009 (all careers), and UFC Undisputed (a retired wrestler with around 27 - 7 - 1 now). I am still trying to finish Afro Samurai (only two levels to go) and I will continue GTA IV soon even though I am not a fan of this game. I also have Pro Evolution Soccer 2009, FIFA 2009, FUEL (horrible), Forza Motorsport 2 (good but I really suck at it), and a couple more games.

We have well and truly hijacked this thread, sorry guys. But Pro Evo is miles better than Fifa, and you have some impressive games there!!

[ColsTiger]

Thanks Chris! I was one of the first from four or five months before the original iDay.

[kakofonix]

Thanks Chris! I was one of the first from four or five months before the original iDay.

And the first genius, if my memory serves well?

[TarekElsakka]

Wow, ColsTiger, I have never seen any of your posts. You were the highest poster when I first registered to EiC, but now Dave is topped you :p lol.

@iNinja, yeah I guess we did :D. Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 is out (or coming out in 1 month) I haven't really checked and I can't wait. Fifa 2010 is also awesome, I've heard. There is also Need For Speed: SHIFT; every one says it has awesome graphics but horrible game play. I believe them because that has been the case with all Need For Speed games. The last good game was Most Wanted, which I also finished using cheats on PC :P. By the way, wouldn't it have been awesome if Afro Samurai was playable online (multi) like co op? That would have been SO FREAKING AMAZING.

[iNinja]

Thank you Chris, this is very generous of you...:dft010:smiling

[dturner]

Just got my email and redeemed. Again,thanks Chris for the gift and running the best damn forum in the universe.
Also need to give a shout out to the mods that do such an excellent job of helping Chris, because there is no way he could do it alone.

[MrEous]

Wow what a great site...I'm a part of a LOT of forums and have never had this happen.

...but I'm only a Zealot. :(

[TarekElsakka]

MrEous, mind you tell me how much you sold your 16GB 3G for?

[dturner]

Wow what a great site...I'm a part of a LOT of forums and have never had this happen.

But a valued Zealot. :ok:ok

[macgirl]

Thank you, Chris! :)

[Youngbinks]

Awesome Chris! Thanks a ton.

[wildonrio]

Here's my reply Chris! Thanks for the awesome website.

[ZipZap]

Very generous offer....congrats!

[SmartAlx]

Cool! Thank you Chris!

[chris]

Just a heads up, I processed the first 10 that contacted me via PM. Apple has either a $100 or 10 gift certificate restriction. I'm hoping it'll get lifted tomorrow and I can start the process again. Doing my best to stay on top of this and get them out ASAP.

Thanks for your patience. When I do process them, expect a PM advising you to be on the lookout for the Apple email.

-Chris

[Maaz]

Wow this is extremely cool.

[GSXRMike]

Awesome. Wish I had found this place sooner but either way, I'm glad I did. :)

That's real nice of you!

[up10ad]

Awesome. Wish I had found this place sooner but either way, I'm glad I did. :)
At your posting rate you would have to have joined over 5.8 years ago to be at 1,000 today, but we're happy to have ya here anyway. :dft008:suprised (yes, I did the math)

[wjp09]

[Hawk]

Yeah, Chris, that is really nice of you to do for those of us that just happen to be here anyway. I think I speak for everyone when
I say "You da man!"

[themanofthedark]

Wow, thank you, Chris. That's simply amazing of you. I love this site, and wish I had more time to be on it, but with college things coming up, and things like that, I simply don't, most of the time.

[li2327]

Wow. That's so nice. I'm new and I'm really glad I joined this site. I'm also a member of theiphoneblog, but I have a feeling this site is going to be home for me. :)

[Bitewound]

I just want to thank all the Geniuses that have helped me over the last two years :ok:ok

[MrEous]

MrEous, mind you tell me how much you sold your 16GB 3G for?
I sold it for $475 on eBay...around $440 after listing/paypal/shipping fees.

chris, any truth to the rumor you are going to extend this to the everything pre site if the pre regains iTunes syncing ability? :dft011:wicked_smile

Do we think the Pre/iTunes syncing is coming back?

[acosmichippo]

hmm... i think i can rack up 1,000 posts pretty quickly over there...

[psylichon]

hmm... i think i can rack up 1,000 posts pretty quickly over there...

lol :ok:ok

[TarekElsakka]

Same here. I'll just mention I love the iPhone and not a fan of the Pre and I think I'll reach 1000 posts in four or five days. Although I could run out of ideas, they will come up with new ones and I'll just keep replying.

[chris]

Do we think the Pre/iTunes syncing is coming back?

I answered my own question >
Palm Giving Up iTunes Sync? (http://www.everythingpre.com/blog/palm-giving-up-itunes-sync/2009/10/02/)

[Londonrockz568]

So what will the Pre use if they cannot sync with iTunes??

[TarekElsakka]

PreTunes.

(10 char)

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

Thanks, Chris - that's the least you can do since all my post whoring put me in the damned hospital! :ok:ok:dft012:wink:dft010:smiling

[Saverino]

This is pretty cool! Thanks Chris! :D

[connie]

This is pretty cool! Thanks Chris! :D

Wow! Where have you been?:dft011:wicked_smile Don't tell me, you are on the BB forum huh?:dft012:wink
Everyones coming out of the woodworks with the email:ok:ok

[TarekElsakka]

When I had a Curve 8900, he was the most active user. :P Haha just kidding dude! But he's helpful.

[seanwes]

Thanks Chris. :)

[aggieman]

So what will the Pre use if they cannot sync with iTunes??

Really the whole syncing issue is blown out of proportion. Drag and drop is just as easy. Select all>copy>paste done. When I had my pre I did it this way and it worked just as good. It would be nice if palm did put together a desktop solution like blackberry just came out with for mac.

I'm a huge fan of the Pre. It won't stop me from getting it when AT&T gets it. I still like the 3gs better of course due to the apps, camera, media but there are areas for me where the Pre also has it's advantages.

[dimensiondvdrob]

Chris, thank you so much for the giveaway, even though I am not eligible (although I wish I were). This has been a valuable community for me where I have met some really cool people and have learned a lot.

[monkeysrock0622]

Pre has iTunes syncing, once again...

Gizmodo reports (http://www.macrumors.com/c.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgizmodo.com%2F5373441%2Fwebos-121-fixes-palm-pre-itunes-syncing-exchange-breakage&t=1254593702) that Palm has released webOS 1.2.1, restoring iTunes media syncing ability to the Palm Pre. The release comes just days after the launch of webOS 1.2 (http://www.macrumors.com/2009/09/28/palms-webos-1-2-released-does-not-re-enable-itunes-media-syncing/), which failed to re-enable iTunes syncing and also broke Exchange 2007 syncing for a number of users, necessitating the rapid follow-up update.

The USB Implementers Forum raised questions (http://www.macrumors.com/2009/09/22/usb-compliance-organization-sides-with-apple-in-palm-pre-syncing-dispute/) several weeks ago about Palm's apparent misuse of Apple's unique Vendor ID number to trick iTunes into recognizing the Pre as an iPod. While some had speculated after that disclosure and the release of webOS 1.2 that Palm had finally given up in the cat-and-mouse game with Apple over the iTunes syncing issue, that certainly appears not to be the case.

[dturner]

Chris, thank you so much for the giveaway, even though I am not eligible (although I wish I were). This has been a valuable community for me where I have met some really cool people and have learned a lot.
Wow. I had no idea you didn't have 1000 post. Seems you are always on here. And I mean that in a good way.:ok:ok

[patrickj]

Thanks, Chris - that's the least you can do since all my post whoring put me in the damned hospital! :ok:ok:dft012:wink:dft010:smiling

[Luckykelleyk]

Wow, thanks Chris!

[chris]

Ok, will update the initial post, but figured I'd update everyone here as well. Apple has a limit of 10 email iTunes gift certificates per 30 days. At that rate, everyone would receive their gift card by the time the next iPhone is released.:dft006:unhappy

I contacted support who put me in touch with corporate sales. They have no way around it. They do offer bulk sales of iTunes Gift Cards. I'm going to place an order this morning for 50 cards. Anything additional, I can pick up at Best Buy.

If you were among the first 10 who responded, you're good to go, since you've already received your gift certificate and a response from me.

If you have not received a response to your original PM, please PM me your physical mailing address. I'm going to shoot for the end of this week to have them in the mail.

Obviously, not as easy as email, but Apple doesn't provide any choice.

Thanks!
Chris

chris your a legend. I will send you my details as soon as possible.

I'm assuming you want our email addy's to send the redeem code to..right?!

Due to Apple's restrictions on the # of email gift certificates you can purchase (10 every 30 days), I'm doing gift cards.
If you've sent me your address, you've probably got a PM from me. This means you're iTunes Gift Card is ready and shipping via US Post Office tomorrow.
If you sent me an email address, but not a physical address, I've contacted you via PM to get your address.

As a reminder, this offer ends on October 15th, but valid for those who reached the 1,000 mark before October 1st.

Thanks! Sorry for any confusion.

-Chris

I received mine today in the mail. Thank you again Chris.

[FlwrPwer]

Got mine today! Thanks so much Chris. I'm so excited as I almost never purchase apps. I always go for the free ones. hehehehe

I've decided to treat myself. :dft009:happy

I have never paid for an app. I don't know what to buy lol. I always go to the free section so I don't even know whats in the paid part.

[Youngbinks]

Woot! Got mine in the mail today. Redeeming now. Thanks again Chris!

Me either. I have paid for two apps. Bejeweled and Rooms, so I can talk in chat on the phone. That is it.

This is so overwhelming. hehehehe

I'm an app junkie, I've purchased hundreds. Most of them have been deleted, but I still have eight pages of apps.

From chat; iFitness is supposed to be one of the best paid work out apps.

Well, I can honestly say I do not have the money to boast that I paid for hundreds of apps. If it comes down to spending my hard-earned money on a bag of potato chips, which I know are good, or an app, which I don't know if it's good until after I've paid and tried it....I'm gonna go with the potato chips. :dft012:wink

I actually got a free version of IRC called IRChon lol.

Oh I have downloaded about 200 apps...all free. I delete a good chunk of those too since I only have 140 in itunes right now and only 4 pages on my phone.

[JWiPhone]

I have 140 apps. I paid for about half of those. I'm almost an addict. I check App Shopper daily and Touch Arcade, and have Pandora Box on my iPhone to check up on price drops and new apps.

Thanks, I do know about those links. However, if there is an app I know I would use a lot I don't really mind paying full price. I do keep a wish list of those I know that have a history of reducing their prices.

[aknightstale41]

Just got mine in the mail too...Thanks again Chris :ok:ok

[iNinja]

Chris, a big thank you. I know you didn't have to sort it out, so thanks!

Thank you for that Bargain Bin app suggestion. I love how it push notifies when there is a drop in price. It has already alerted me to a drop in price and saved me money.

Those who have PM'ed me, but have not received a response, please keep an eye on your email today. Finishing up the remaining genius' that did not yet receive their cards.

If you haven't previously contacted me, I'm afraid you this promotion is over.

Thanks again to all who have been such a big part of eiC.:ok:ok

That's an excellent idea! I know it's over now and I'm obviously nowhere near 1000 posts, but I think it's great that you're rewarding the contributions of long-standing members here. :)
