„..due later this year.“
So mid 2019 is meant? :-)

Whoohoo, first news on IPS 4.4!
Finally the ACP became a place to wait for Hogwarts invitations.

the last blog should mention klingons and that "it is a good day to die" as well. 

Today is the day that Harry Potter receives his Nimbus 2000 from Professor Mcgonagall. And then we get a Harry Potter related blog post.
Nice feautre, will be welcomed on the mobile espcecially!

Mark's a wizard.
Not until the last blog entry.

so when does voldemort attack?

First! (Sorry just got excited 😄 ). Now let's have a read...

Already worth it to upgrade just for this. Just this. God, I hate the cluttered dashboard... THANK YOU.

Yay for the start of 4.4. announcements! Not particularly excited about this feature, but overall 🙂

Great reply Joel. 
Regarding Pages v Forum. With a Pages database, you can create labels and fields to help with the workflow. 

I love hearing your ideas.

I am also reminded of the scene where Dr Evil demands a million dollars or else, and everyone starts laughing as the value of that sum is significantly less than it was in the 60s.

It's a real eye opener when you search for dream properties with your newly won million and realise that you have to seriously reign in your expectations!

Maybe next month we'll do "What would you do with a  Billion that you had to spend in a week"

I would buy a house at Killesberg - one of the most epensive regions in my hometown (maybe i need 2 or 3 Millions😞 )... .
I would also  invite @Daniel F, because i like austrians and he is - also - a great guy ... and @Joel R for his humor (but only, if he invites me to the US, because i love America 🙂 )
After that, i would post a ticket to @Lindy every day, setting my licenses to unlimited (LIfetime)... Probablly the hardest part 😄 (Probablly, i should invite @Matt to the event with Daniel and Joel... This MAY help triggering Lindy 🙂 - and i am pretty sure, this british guy would be able to generate the best breakfast of all of us at that event 🙂 (but - finally - WE have have the best beer 🍺)
Yep, i'll do that... Good idea... Let's start... (.... just need the money 🙂 )

I'd pay off the rest of the mortgage and then say to my better half "I've got £965,000. As soon as you want to, give up work."
And the reason I'd do that is because she's worked her socks off over the years in a job she really dislikes, long hours under stress, to put us in a position where we can have lots of holidays and still be not far off paying the mortgage in one third of the time we were supposed to. I do my bit but I earn far less for doing something that I enjoy. Once we're in the clear, she's earned the right never to have to work again if she doesn't want to. And a 5% return on £965k (around £48k) is more than we need to live very comfortably, so I suppose I might find it tempting to give up too in this situation.

I'd finally be able to purchase the IPS Copyright removal.

If I won $1,000,000 Linvision bucks, I would:
- buy a plane ticket for @Morrigan so we could go shoe shopping.  There is an amazing premium outlet mall near me with a fine selection of men and women's shoes.  Also, good men's dress shoes cost a small fortune so I'm allocating half my money to shoes.  
- Apple Hermes-edition Watches for the entire IPS team.  So when I yell at them about not building me a mobile app, I can now ping their phone, wrist, and monitor.  Also, it's an inspiration for furure development of IPS to display on wearables once they're done with the mobile app.  
- an IPS-themed coffee mug
- an IPS-themed mousepad that's Charles-sized 
- a regular 20 oz. cup since I don't actually drink coffee, but I do make lots of smoothies 
- buy @Mark for a day since he's cute.  But if he turns out to be boring and only talk about work, I might throw a rubicks cube at him
- a rubicks cube
- one of those fun outings in Napa Valley where you make your own wine.  I don't actually drink, but if I were to get drunk, it would be fitting to get drunk on the power from stomping on thousands of helpless grapes.  I'm sure there's an analogy in here about overzealous forum administration.  
- a dedicated IP for Sendgrid. Haha yeah right, I'm too cheap for that.  Let me stay with my free plan on Sparkpost.  
- an overnight stay in the snow igloo of Finland's Lucky Ranch.  Because freezing yourself in the dead of winter, lost in the wilderness, is kind of like a metaphysical representation of being a solo admin, except we do it every night.  By choice.  
- to ride on the back of a Galapagos turtle.  Something about climate change ruining the worlds environment, so one last joyride during my lifetime would be nice.  
- buy a pet Koala.  They're lazy, fat, eat eucalyptus leaves all day, and sleep for the rest.  And even though they're cute, they're a reminder of what #lifegoals shouldnt be, even when you have a millionaire sugar daddy. 

😍 Thanks for the kind words.  Also, thank you to IPS for letting me be a guest blogger for one day.
I should have tried to join the IPS staff, they're handing out million dollar checks to staff members!! 
On a serious note, I think there are always things to learn for community management, no matter your experience level or years of administration.  There's so much to learn, from socializing concepts and behavioral theory to actual implementation and execution -- and I'm hoping that IPS can become a knowledge community where we can learn, share, and rely on each other. 

Joel to IPS Staff news maker!!!

I see travel being a common theme. Guys, having a pretty active travel community in the most undeveloped EU country I can definitely say that you don't need a million dollars to travel. Just don't let your life pass by while you wait for the million 🙂

Mark S, this is me at the SPA grand prix last weekend. Amazing race that is totally worth the 4h traffic jam after it:

Only correct answer is obviously to buy 1600 self hosted Invision Community Licences with all the applications.

This is the funniest blog entry in the world. I live in Brooklyn, NY. A million dollars wouldn't even get me a house in this neighborhood.
😂😂
A million dollars.
😂
HA.
😂
Hahaha.

With 1 million, I would buy a house, a nice car and a dog to protect both. And some more ips licenses. 

not spending, investing
