495 members by this morning Barry so you had better roll your sleeves up!
Thanks for the kind comments Joakim.
What you guys should also consider is that the membership here gets reduced too. You might have noticed that it sometimes goes down as well as up?
495 is not just a total of people that have ever registered since the board started. It is the number of people using this board in the last 9 months. So in that respect I think this board is doing very well.
The 495 figure is everone that has logged on in the last (rolling) 9 months. Anyone not logging on in that time is deleted.
The number also includes people that have self registered but have NOT activated their account. However they get deleted after 15 days and there is only one such person at the moment.
Sadly a recent active member has updated his profile with false information. I assume it was not deliberate but he only has a few days to get in touch and he is getting deleted too. He can easily re-join if he wants though. So don't be suprised if the number goes over 500 and then back down again!
Lastly I think I should say again how lucky we all are (and me in particular) that JR took on the task of setting up and maintaining this version of the board. Without him I would have given up. It really is all down to him.
