I'm excited to say that next month will be 5 years into Bananas.org
Thank you for all your support. We have over 7,000 members now and for that I want to say thanks to everyone who helped us grow to this point. It's amazing how the project went from idea to reality, and a passion of bananas with other like minded people was able to grow to something so large. Thanks to everyone of our loyal members, many of whom I have met personally (and many of you have met each other, which is even more amazing to me) and I cannot say enough good things about. Some of the most intelligent and generous people around are members here on Bananas and I want to express my gratitude for all the good times over the past 5 years.
Moving forward, I plan to introduce new features to the site to continue to make the information more accessible, useful, interactive, and fun to use. With a strong focus on each of those aspects. If you have a great idea for the site, please let me know what it is, because in the spirit of the community, I always try to oblige and find balance wherever needed. We can even revisit some old ideas from long ago that perhaps have not been mentioned lately on our forums.
Thanks for reading. Please allow me take one more moment of your time to let you know that we also now have a spanking new Facebook Page setup. Some people have been checking it out while we were configuring it for the past couple of days, and the feedback has been great. Please visit and join us on the Facebook Page. When you get there, simply click the "Like" button to join, so that you can follow along with us there on Facebook. If you want to invite other people you know, you can do that from there also.

Thanks again and here's to another 5 amazing years. Onwards and upwards.
Regards,
Jarred
