The total number of posts on the active forums is now over 111,000(111,684 as of 12/26/04.)

Considering we've had 18 Forums open and closed in the past and that posts in the New Marketplace forum are routinely deleted after some time, that probably means at least 115,000 since the founding way back when.

We still need your support to keep the Collector Forums going through 2005. You can make a contribution, just CLICK HERE

Quite an accomplishment, I would say. It goes to show the strength and stability of this site as other sites come and go.

I guess all you need is a fearless leader, like you John, and a couple of handfuls of core people to keep the topics coming and stir the pot if necessary. Back those people up with new inquiring minds who join us along with our usual group of regular less vocal members, and we have the recipe for success.

Thanks for keeping us together, John! Your sacrifices of your energy and time will never be taken for granted.
