  • More forum milestones!

    Our 400th member was registered today and this weekend will see the 10,000th message posted. It's also exactly five months since the new forum was opened. The first 7,000 forum messages were posted in just under four months, an average of just under 50 a day. Since then, the average has risen to 83 per day. We also have nearly 3,000 photos posted to the galleries, or more than 20 new pictures per day, on average, with the recent rate being just under 30 pictures posted per day compared to 14 per day at the start.

    Considering that only registered members can post forum messages and upload gallery photos, these are impressive statistics. We still need more members, though, so why not pass on the word? Referrals can earn you more gallery storage space:

    We'll add 10MB to your limit for every three new members who declare that they were referred by you. The maximum limit for this offer is 50 additional MB of storage, or 15 new-member referrals.

    Here's where new members need to go for registration:

    Just make sure your friend or colleague enters your user name in the referred-by box at registration time.

    Incidentally, we don't just want new names in the membership roll, we're looking for new members who will take an active part in the forum and gallery. Dormant accounts are routinely pruned. All new membership registrations must be completed fully - many people fail to respond to their registration confirmation email.

    Thank you all for your contribution to a great online resource and community!

      Do you mean who was number 400 to sign-up? As it happened - it turned out to be a spammer, so the account was deleted, but the next one along was J.R.Abbot. He is user number 480, but 80 accounts have proven to be the work of spammers and had to be deleted.
