The 1st Love Pub was created on MSN Communities on November 28, 2000.

 

The History of the Love Pub goes something like this.

We slowly build up our membership of 1,000 to 2,000 members in the Months of December 2000 and January 2001.

 

Around the first of February 2001 when the love pub was only 2 months old, we had a membership of around 2,600 members and we hit the mark of 3,000 members on February 9th. 

 

This Community really didn't hit the big time until we were featured as MSN Valentines Day feature pick on February 14, 2001 as pictured above:

On this one day alone for Valentine's Day 2001 we gain over 1,775 new members to our community in only 6 hours.

 

Some other highlights of this group.

 

6,000 members on March 6th, 2001

 

7,000 members on March 22nd, 2001

 

On April 10th, 2001 we were selected again by MSN as a feature community in the weekly news letters they sent out every 2 weeks through the e-mail.

 

Once again MSN loved our group so much that we were the feature community on their web site called Love & Relationships for 5 weeks from May 21, 2001 to June 17, 2001

 

On June 11th, 2001 less than 6 months after the community was created we hit the big milestone of 10,000 members as shown above.

 

 Our Highest honor from MSN didn't arrive until a few days before September 2001, when MSN named our community one  of 6 out of all the millions of MSN groups, "Cool Community Of The Month for September 2001".

 

A few days afterwords on September 9th, we hit over 17,000 members and you can see our cool symbol in the top left of the above picture?

 

We all know what happen 2 days afterwords on September 11, 2001 and where we were at.

 

21,000 members on October 1st, 2001

 

Once again in October 2001 we were featured on MSN Love & Relationship web site for one week from October 8 to October 16th.

 

22,000 members on October 10, 2001

 

23,000 members on October 20, 2001

 

Then after a thinking about it for the past few months I finally left the community on December 7, 2001.

 I gave up the Love Pub Community to 4 of my Senior Managers to run this group and off I went to do other things with my life....that lasted for about a year longer and I was back for more.

But the history of the Love Pub does not end here and I have a lot more to write on this subject, so please stay tune to page 2 and 3 in the future.
