Eight Years, 200,000 Members

Posted by Matt Yette in Site News on 6/16/10 3:31pm

January 9, 2002. That's the day AntsMarching.org officially opened its doors and saw over 1,000 members register. We were stunned. Over eight years later, we have seen our 200,000th member register; a number we never in a million years dreamed would be possible. We opened with the first searchable Dave Matthews Band setlist archive ever, which would become the basis for countless features that we would add over the years. Today that archive is known as Tour Central.

In our eight years of existence, we've seen the rise (and fall) of the SHN Server, BitTorrent Downloads, the Setlist Game, Mobile Setlists, Mobile News, the B&P Database, the Ants Podcast, the Song Tour, Personal Show Statistics, Ants Gallery, AntsLive, and most recently, apps for your cell phones that keep your finger on the pulse of DMB. We've had two hugely successful Ants After-Parties, and are in the process of planning the third this summer in West Palm Beach. We've also been through three major design transitions, completely rewriting the site from the ground up each time.

We are extremely excited and proud about this milestone, and thank you for being a part of it! Going forward, we promise to work hard and continue to bring the community innovative, exciting features as grow. Thank you all for being a vital part of the best community around!
