New "All-Time High" for the CF!

Well as of the typing of this message, the Collector Forum has reached 710 registrants. If my memory serves me correctly, this is probably the highest amount of people participating at the CF.

The reason I feel this forum has done so well is from the efforts of all the registered members to keep coming up with topics, questions, photos, links, humor, and other information that keeps us all coming back for more.

Some posters are more shy than others when they first join us, but they soon learn what a friendly group frequents the CF. Many new friendships have been developed from this forum and that is great. Harbour Lights events have brought many people together in person and the sharing of the memories of those great times is one of the best parts of being a member of this forum.

So if you are a non-registered visitor to the Collector Forum and haven't registered to post new topics and replies, please do so and officially join in the fun. There are no costs or obligations, and it's free!

Hey Bob, Maybe we could have Jerry Lewis announce a new total every now and then

........ eh, if not how bout Al Lewis ?

Lets see if we can get it up to 800.

Hi Kids! ...I just returned from 8 days at Block Island. The North Light and Southeast Light are still where they belong.

I'm glad to see that we've added a few more registered users to the CF. I think 713 is a new high. Keep them coming!

Bob

Bob! We are up to 722!

This is such a great site. Sometimes when I can't sleep I can go on this and just enjoy the hound out of it. Has so added to my knowledge of lighthouses and collecting.

Hooray for all of you who have had input into this site. Many a "night" you have made my "day".

Thanks to you all!

Rusty

I see we're no up to 726. It appears that many new people are finally taking time to register. It's great to welcome new people to the CF. New minds bring in more new and interesting ideas. Welcome to all!

Bob

WOW!!! The Collector Forum is growing by leaps and bounds! As of this message we now have 739 people registered to post new topics and replies.

Welcome to all the new people and I hope we'll be hearing a lot from you in days to come. Take a moment and let us know who you are and where you're from.

Baltimore Fever maybe?

I think you're right, Sean. The reunion in Baltimore will definitely generate additional interest in collecting HLs. The Providence reunion did that for me and now the only LE HL I'm missing is Coquille River.

Bob

I see we've added another five registrants to the Collector Forum in the past week. We now have 744 people registered to post topics and replies. It seems the closer we get to the date of the reunion, the more people are joining us. That is great!

Perhaps many of the attendees at the upcoming reunion will also get the Collector Forum fever and jump on the band wagon of fun here at the forum.

Welcome aboard, .....new members of the CF!

Bob

I'm very happy to see we now have 760 registered members here at the Collector Forum. Once again, this is a new all-time high here at the CF. Many new people have joined us and hopefully they won't be shy about posting new topics or replies.

A very special welcome and hello to all the new folks at the CF!

Bob

Glad I could help. As with all of the posters. How many more postings till I am Wacko? And are you sure that you need a certain # of postings to be considered a wacko

------------------

Congratulations to us for boasting about what
a great site this is. Anyone for 1000?

Keepin' the flame, Rich

The count on deck is now 770! All I can say is, "WOW!" I expect many more newcomers to the CF just before and after the reunion. If you're a lurker out there, register and join in with posting topics and replies. It's easy and it's free!

Bob

Bob,

A number of new folks have registered and ordered a conncected collector badge for the reunion. Trying to encourage them to get that first post out of the way and jump right in. Have you ordered your badge?????

Dave

Wonder if we will manage to make 800 by the reunion?

------------------

Hi Buz, ...Maybe not 800 by the reunion but we may reach 800 as a result of the reunion. We stand at 775 now. We could see 25 more new people by Thanksgiving.

Bob

Am I the only one all this reunion talk makes depressed because I cant go after waiting almost a year for it.But I hope all you that do go have a great time and know I will be on each bus trip and at the reunion With you at least in spirit.God bless you all and have a great and say hi to Bill Nancy Elinor De Wire and every one else for me Bill O'brien oseabee.

Well if it's postings you want,come on WAcko.
You have less than I do Tom.but Iwill be there soon.

I'm glad I finally signed on to the Collector's forums and found the courage to make a "posting."
But, would someone tell me, what is a "WACKO"?
joan

Hi Joan. We are all pretty wacko here, but the official term Wacko indicates that you have made 50 posts in these forums. So Welcome, keep posting and we will see you in Baltimore!
Jim
Johnson

Hi Joan, yes I agree. We are all pretty much wacos and I'm doing my best to get the title before I hit Baltimore>

------------------

Are there more people gettin computers??
or is it just more lighthouse nuts/////

It seems we've finally lured a group of lurkers out of cyberspace. It's great to see the new names appearing on the CF each day. If you haven't made the leap, do so now. You won't find a friendlier group anywhere on the Net.

Bob

So Bob, how close to 800 are we?


------------------

Just 24 people away from the 800 mark, Buz. After we get this reunion under our belt, maybe we'll reach that plateau.

Bob

We're gonna drag some of those non-connected collectors attending the reunion into cyberspace and show them what they're missing!!!

Capt. Video.

If anyone can do it, it will be you, John.

Bob

Maybe Mark has enough room in his vehicle to bring along Blind Tony......

The Collector Forums family is growing again! We're up to 783 people registered at the CF. We may not make 800 by the reunion, but I would think we would reach that mark within two weeks after the reunion.

Welcome aboard to our newest CF family and friends!

Bob

I got in from the reunion last night and I was happy to see we are now up to 787 folks registered at the CF. I spoke with a few "lurkers" at the reunion and hopefully my encouragement will convince them to become regular posters here at the forum.

Welcome aboard new registrants!!!

Bob

In the last week you would have thought the forums were down to 3 or 4 members from the lack of postingsit will be good to get every one back on again we missed you all hope you all had a real good time.Bill O'Brien

After meeting several really fun WACKOs at the reunion, I came home determined to join in the CF scene. Special thanks to MissTLC and 2Beacons for being so friendly.

Well let me be one of the first to extend a very warm welcome to the Collector Forums to you, Bonnie. This is a great place to visit on the Net, especially, if you love HL's and lighthouses.

Bob

Welcome Bonnie to the CF! Even if you post infrequently (like me) it is still a great place to get information.

Welcome aboard Bonnie. It's great having you as a forum member!!!

Tim - Keeping the flame lit...

Hi Bonnie and welcome to the forums!

While I didn't attend the reunion or get to meet you there, it is great that you jumped on board here so the rest of us could.

Welcome!!

-Todd

Welcome Bonnie...so good to see you here in the Forums You will meet some mighty fine folks and learn so much from them. Looking forward to seeing your posts...

Ruthie

794...need I say more? Only 6 more new registrants are needed to hit the "800" mark here at the CF.

Any lurkers out there want to step up to the plate? Everyone is welcome!

Bob

The Collector Forum has reached 798 registered members. Only two more to go to reach the "800" mark!

Are you a lurker who visits but doesn't register to post topics and replies? If you are, please take a moment to register and officially start posting here at the forum. It's free, it's fun, and it's a fine way to spend some of your computer hours with some of the finest fans of Harbour Lights and lighthouses. Put the forums at your fingertips and finally find all you ever wanted to know about Harbour Lights.

Bob

One to go!

And the lucky #800 is..........

[This message has been edited by bright eyes (edited 10-22-2001).]

Hey Bob - you want me to purge those inactive members this afternoon? Just let me know.

John

Not quite yet, JC. At least let us hit 800 before you do what you have to do. And to those of you who registered then haven't posted in ages, get those fingers moving on those keys! Don't be dropped from the roll-call of forum members!

We need you here...

Bob

Can my wife register to be # 800 ???? Or does she just have to remain looking over my shoulder?

Medic,

She can register on her own. There are others who want to have their "own" identity in the Forums and have each registered.

Dave

Naw..... she'll let someone else have the honor of being #800. She wouldn't type that much anyway... so she'd be on the delete list pretty quick.

Kinda like watching paint dry or water boil.

We could wait for Fred to register under another alias........ (tic! ! !)

[This message has been edited by Dave H (edited 10-23-2001).]

I just saw the elusive "800" mark as I signed on. Will the person behind door #1 please step forward and identify yourself, so you can be presented with your free stuff.

Bob

Well this is post number "50" in this thread, and the CF has reached a new all-time high of 802 registered participants.

We were hoping for the big "800" within a few weeks of the reunion, and we have achieved our goal. The fact that the Collector Forum continues to grow is super!

If you are still a lurker and haven't registered yet, please do. If you are registered but don't post any topics or replies, please get that keyboard going and add your two-cents worth to the CF.

Bob
