Passing two milestones on the path ...

Post by Roy Hersh »

On the same day, we reached 300 members here on the FORUM and topped 5000 posts too. Not bad and I am still projecting: at least 450 "official" members and 8,500 posts when we celebrate our first birthday on July 29th of this year.

Thanks to all of you!

I'm drinking to that Roy with a glass of 10 year old tawny of Noval. My sister and I went trough 3/4 of the bottle, needless to say it is one of my favorite!

Thanks guys. I know posts like this seem silly, but I was really happy when I noticed this.

Sorry I missed this topic.
I wonder what our percentages of posts would be amoung ourselves if we did not count Roy's posts :?:
It is a fine site and I find myself posting here more than the Squires board.

Richard,

You bring up a great topic. One of the key ingredients to my hosting this website is how often to post. I have really tried to keep my quantity to no more than 1 in 6 or thereabouts.

There are times when I do not post for 2-3 days because I don't want my post count or percentage to seem out of whack and then I wait for posts to come in, before I'll respond. It is a tricky tightrope to walk. Sometimes I wonder if I post too much and other times I feel like I neglect some topics. When the quantity of regular posters jumps by another 25-50 individuals, I plan to back off quite a bit. Until then, my percentage will probably remain in the same 17% range.

Roy,

I hope you weigh in on every topic and more than once. I was mildly curious to see who would be in second.
:roll:

One of the great disappointments in recent years is how rarely Mark weighs in on topics on the Squires BB. That board has just gotten so big.
The more you post , the better. I hope you impose no limitations on yourself whatsover. :D

Thanks to all of you!
