It's hard to believe it's been just five years since MacHeist debuted to about 20,000 of you guys via email invitation. Since then, we've sold hundreds of thousands of software bundles, raised millions of dollars for charity, and when the time called for it, reinvented ourselves for a new generation of Apple devices. Now we stand one million strong.

The future is bright. Thank you for your incredible support through the years!

- The MacHeist Directorate

P.S. Congrats to "Rob" our millionth member! You should check your email for some iTunes and Amazon gift cards smile

Fantastic news!  Congratulations. 

I came 11th out of the 300,000 member in the points race last heist, but up against 1,000,000 members... I really hope you don't do the same this year.

6th February 2009 MacHesit III Begins...  MacHeist IV?   15th September 2012! IT's HERE!!! smile

Number 184263 here. Wow. I'm in the first 20%. That seems crazy considering I only joined this wonderful site back in Christmas of '08.

Woah. That was actually a long time ago. Jeez, MacHeist 3 was over two years ago. Crazy! I was on an eMac G4 back then... *shudder*

Can't wait for MH4!

Yep, Kind of crazy. I remember getting the invite because of MyDreamApp, which I never really gave a shit about (and good thing I didn't), and coming here pretty early on. I bet I'm one of the few that joined that early and is still here.
