Ladies and gentledevs, let me put it this way: YEAH!

It’s unexpected! When we started Flabell 5 months ago (6th of March, 2009), I set a single goal to the team: pass 10k users by the end of 2009!

As I tweeted here and here, the 10.000th user is awarded with 10 Gold Tickets which he can use to download for free any product that isn’t free!

Congrats to ianhg (Ian Gordon)! And as our web developer Vlad said: Richer by 10 gold keys as of now… :)
