Earlier today, MyAnimeList surpassed its 50,000th user! I'm extremely proud of this fact, as not even one year ago (06/2007), we hit 5,000 users. And, one year before that, we only had 200 users (04/2006). Quite a milestone!

I hope everyone is enjoying their time spent on MAL and that you all continue to help us grow.

Thanks for sticking around!

Now we just need to get a MAL party started...

Do you have stats on user frequency and stuff? How many of those 50,000 use the site weekly/daily etc? I'm guessing there's at -least- hundreds, if not a few thousand who just signed up and haven't come back since. Not trying to cast a downer, but I'm genuinely curious about all forms of usage stats and user behaviour.

Over 8,000 users sign in every day. About 40% of our users actively sign in to their accounts too, over a two week period.

How much bandwidth does MAL go through a month, with the forums, list updates/sig serving, and the huge amount of avatars, club pics and stuff? Gotta be a good amount.

I remember it was at about 20,000 to 25,000 when I joined back in December, so it's just about doubled in these few months.

Congrats for reaching 50000 users Xinil. Just over a year ago it was only about 2000. I wonder how many users there'll be by April 09...

by overwhelming them with the sheer amount of win and awesomsauce that this site contains... :x

congrats on this amazing milestone xinil...a huge thank you for creating a site that has helped 50,000 (and a still growing number) otaku organize and keep track of all their series...i'm sure every anime fan that has trouble remembering which episode he/she watched last salutes you...the staff that's been here helping you since the beginning also deserve thanks as well (especially for helping maintain and edit the anime/manga database)...here's to hoping that MAL will break the 100,000 mark soon... :D

I mentioned the fact a few times on the channel, and I looking forward to take a screenshot with 50000 users, but I only managed to get 49997 and 50002 =p I was too busy finishing Planetes lol

I've been plotting the number of users every day on a graph. It is still very new, with about 10 points, but when a nice amount of time goes by I'll interpolate some functions to see where MAL is headed =D

Anyway, congratulations MAL! Exponential growth ftw!

Well, this explains the increased amount of times Xinil has had to do server moves/maintenance. At this rate, MAL will probably break 100,000 during the summer.

Congrats on the milestone! =D Wow! That's some growth spurt! By the way, do we know who the lucky 50,000th member is? In any case, this milestone bodes well for the longevity of MAL! =D

Speaking of milestones, I just noticed that this is my 200th forum post! Not as auspicious as 50,000 members, but it is to me. =)
