Was merely pointing out how big this site has got since I joined 8 years ago.
Multiply that number by 365 and it gives you an idea of membership numbers.
Well another way of looking at it anyway.. lol.

Clive...click on 'Members' at the top of your screen.
There's a grand total of 33,122. (Or there was when I looked.)
Although the majority have 'post' numbers of 0 or are in single digits.
So there's not over 30,000 active members.

John is correct, we've got a fairly "tight" number of regular posters nowadays. You Kiwis are most welcome to continue, you've got a great outlook on life!

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

When I looked at that list I did not recognize anyone listed. I think Walt's time here must have been just a bit before I found CHR.
I've wondered (yeah, too much time on my hands ) about the value of paring down the members list with some type of filter, like maybe "zero posts, last visit > 36 months" or even "posts < 25, last visit > 5 years" but no matter what the filter there is a small risk that someone who was once registered comes back to fine their username purged. Unless the total number of members slows down the server, or causes some limitation to the operation of the forum then there's really nothing gained by paring the list, other than freeing up names for re-use which might be confusing in itself. Then again, there may be some value in the forum world of being able to honestly point to that number and say, "CHR has 33,000+ "members!!"Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Yeah, with about 33,000 members, there is more likely about 90
having a birthday each day of the year. Not the 21 listed above.
Just shows that only about 18% of members are putting down
their birth date for public viewing.
You can tell That I'm kinda bored today.
Just had a hail storm pass by and it chased me out of the shed
to see what the noise was. Decided it was time for a coffee.
It's 4pm here on a somewhat changeable Tues afternoon.
Have a good one guys.
Have you all seen my Video?

I really enjoyed that Vid, especially some of the old structuress at the beginning. Had to get my old Texas ears used to the accent but after that it was down home to me. Great stuff and good camera work and editing also. Thanks for sharing this one, Meller
P.S. have those Mickey Thompsons been bead blasted?.
