13 Year Anniversary
Posted by: Tom Kirkman (Moderator)

I may have missed this earlier, too much going on.

For whatever it's worth, this forum had its 13th anniversary on June 7th. We have 9103 registered users and 426,461 posts (does not include posts on the related photo page), for an average just about 90 posts per day (they don't pop back to the top so they go several pages deep each day). During these 14 years we've had little trouble (only 17 people, or .18 percent, have ever been banned) and the forum has enjoyed a 99% online status. Sponsor list has remained steady at roughly 50 to 60 companies per year. Many have been on board since the site opened in 2001.
