Re: 5,000!!! Membership Now! Today!
How many are active? I looked at those first couple of years, and I didn't see too many names I recognized. Even several that were active when I joined, two years ago, are not around now.

Re: 5,000!!! Membership Now! Today!
I have also been wondering what has happened to many of our original members. I wonder if cold winters have done away with banana growing efforts of many members or if they've established what they want to grow and don't care to check out new varieties, ideas, etc. I was very active in a photography forum for a few years and still photograph a moderate amount (and have a lot of $$$ tied up in equipment), but I rarely visit the forum. I'm afraid that I'll catch the bug to buy something more and have to deal with my wife's wrath! LOL

Re: 5,000!!! Membership Now! Today!
Having a large number of members is different than having a large number of active members. I also belong to PalmTalk which has less than 4000 members but has 10 time the traffic online. Their biggest complaint? Too many lurkers. These forums are meant for interaction in my opinion.
So to all of you 'members' that watch, come on and participate! Remember, there is no such thing as a dumb question, just dumb people who ask questions!

I agree-wish more were active. Those who are active are great, though. I love being a part of this group. Have a great day, everyone!
