3000 members
« on: December 08, 2017, 02:38:35 PM »
Today marks a very important milestone for the forum, we hit the 3000 member mark. I am very proud of this achievement and it proves that the forum is a popular place. When I first started the forum there were a lot of knockers who all believed that the forum would not last, well here it is, 5.5 years later and 3000 members.
I would like to thank all the forum members, without you people there would not be a forum.

A very happy Des.

   What can I say Des, other then it was and is you who is responsible for this enormous success. Tug's statement is perfect:

'You do a fine job sir' and long may it continue"

   Here's to many more! :)
Cheers,
Lance

Yes, a forum needs members, but as has been proved in the past, a badly run forum will lose them very quickly. It is us who should be thanking you!
 Thank you, and here's to the next 5.5 years!

Ian has made an excellent and important point. I would add further that this is a most welcoming forum too - and one which accepts modellers of all levels of skill. Thanks Des.
