100 Sites In 15 Minutes

Written by Scrivs on October 24, 2006

Well updates won’t come this fast, but I thought it was cool to say that we got 100 submissions in 15 minutes. Of course when we go to bed no more sites will submit…that would be the way our lives work. In any case things are looking good and we are quite pleased.

  1. Chris Says:

    Just submitted. Hope to join!

  2. amelia Says:

    Ooh, that is cool! I was one of them!!

  3. Nick Says:

    Hey all,

    100 sites in 15 minutes is pretty impressive.

    I’m pretty confident I’ll win the Round 5 number game with my guess of 5555 submissions. :)

    Best Regards,
    Nick

  4. Elliott C. Back Says:

    I dropped my main site in–will probably follow it with a few anchor blogs to suit, as well.

  5. Andre Says:

    Whoa, that’s amazing! :)

  6. Tobie Langel Says:

    100 sites…!

    In 15 minutes ?!

    Wow.

  7. Devin Says:

    You’ll go to sleep?

  8. GooL$ Says:

    I have to wake up at 6 o’clock to go to school and I am up this late to just submit my blog. I hope I can make it. :) and I think I deserve it.

  9. Kyle Korleski Says:

    That’s great to hear Scrivs. I wonder if I was among those hundred. Of course, I also wonder if that helps my application…

  10. jackosh Says:

    pot odds?

  11. Azhar Says:

    Here we go again :) You guys going to have some late nights now :P

  12. panoptican Says:

    Did anyone guess 9600?

  13. seanrox Says:

    Well Scrivs, you already pointed out that I wasn’t in the top 10 of first submissions in the other thread but I would assume that I was in the first 100 during the 15 minute window since I submitted within seconds of midnight… 9pm here on the West Coast.

    My official bet is on 951 submissions but at the current rate, it looks like well over a thousand for sure.

  14. Andre Says:

    1101 maybe? ;)

  15. benj Says:

    i dont even know what you guys are looking for. hopefully, philosophical content would be enough. I hope there will be philo category soon. :)

    Good luck to everyone.

    *flips a coin, grabs a drink, and tries to stay cool*

    Dude - that’s so f’ing awesome. You should all be proud of what you’ve got here, no matter who was in the first 100. And good luck to everyone who enters. Serious representation in the casa de nueve.

  17. milo Says:

    If there are so many submissions, when the results will be published?

  18. Footsteps in the Mirror » 9rules 24 Hour 5th Round Submission Says:

    [...] There we have it, one of the best damn blogging network has opened their doors to membership once again. The 5th round intake will only be open for 24 hours. To date, it’s been open for about an hour and as far as I know more than 100 people have sent in their submissions to join this little elite network of bloggers. The last time round they opened to submission, a great 700 people signed up over a period of 24 hours with only about 117 people coming on. [...]

  19. Elliot Swan Says:

    999 FTW!!!11!

  20. Andre Says:

    @milo: probably when they’ve gone through all of them. :P

  21. Brian Gilham Says:

    Milo: I wouldn’t expect to see the results until sometime next week, if past rounds are any indication. It all depends on the number of entries.

  22. Collin Allen Says:

    I can’t even imagine how long it’s going to take to sort through all of them!

  23. Ryan Brooks Says:

    From the comments that we’re seeing, there are sure to be all sorts of cool sites in the next round! w00t!

    And yes, I submitted!

  24. Vegard Says:

    If you consider the number of blogs on the interweb, 100 sites in 15 minutes is not that much.

    [...] Round 5 has started with a bang - 100 Sites In 15 Minutes » 9rules Network Official Blog. Well updates won’t come this fast, but I thought it was cool to say that we got 100 submissions in 15 minutes. [...]

  26. Billytheradponi Says:

    Wow, thats a lot of sites, you have got your work cut out, well done for doing this :P I’ve submitted my site, fingers crossed :P

  27. Randy Says:

    Just submitted my blog. Time to sit back and wait…
    Good luck everyone!

  28. Douglas Says:

    I just submitted my blog as well. :) I can only imagine how long it takes to go through all of the applications.

  29. Andy Says:

    Maybe you should run a competition to see who guesses closest to the final figure. I submitted my site earlier, having diarised the date some time ago. My own guess is that you’re definitely going to top 1,000 sites being put forward. I’ll throw out the number 4,500. It’s definitely going to be loads more than 700 this time round… x

  30. Ian Halliday Says:

    I just submitted too, and I know a lot of work went into all the submissions, but just imagine the work that 9rules team put into going through all the individual submissions, mind-boggling!

  31. Kyle Korleski Says:

    There should be a counter or something of current entries to 9rules.

  32. Josh Says:

    I guess I was one of the people to flood your gates with those 100 sites, then. I refreshed the submit page at 12:00AM and submitted at 12:01, heh.

  33. J Phill Says:

    vegard, not every site on the interweb is trying to submit to 9rules. I think that’s definitely impressive.

  34. LEMONed Says:

    Good luck to all who submitted.

  35. Wayne Sutton Says:

    Yeah, this is my dream, to become a 9rules member. I just submitted my site.

    Wayne

  36. Luis Says:

    Yeah, I just submitted mine as well.

  37. benj Says:

    amazing, ive been getting a lot of hits referred from this page. hehe ;)

  38. Harris Says:

    I submitted too. I hope I’m accepted. It’s so much easier to be motivated to have good updates when you know quite a few people will read it.

  39. 9 Rules submission at Dustyhawk :: Broken Mirror Says:

    [...] Just submitted, for 9rules, hopefully Serge gets this. It’s cool to know that 100 sites has been submitted and all within 15 minutes. [...]
