Even if they don't participate (which I sure wish they would), atleast this site is here so everybody can learn. Just think how much better we would be tho, if more shared what they know ... even if it's not about tortoises.

I agree with you Jacqui, "this site is here so everybody can learn". Even if it is not all the members that participate, at least they have learned something (well I hope so lol) :). I agree that it would be very nice if everybody would participate :).

Well, ok...I'm going to voice my opinion too. Don't beat me up!

I like the small town feel. I'm sorry to see so many members. I can't imagine what it would be like if over 6000 people posted here every day. I like to be able to call each poster by his or her name. It feels like I'm talking to a friend. 6000 people??? Yipes!!!

I understand what your saying, too. I wonder how many members we really have, as the 6,000 odd counts all the banned spammers.

I agree with Yvonne, I like the small town feel and thinking that some of you are my friends. I like to know peoples names and where they're from and what kind of animals they have. Then when they post we can have personal conversation...I guess that's silly tho...

But what happens is I say something they disagree with then all the sudden we're not friends anymore...:)
But I do think we are getting too big...

Go to the forum's home page...where all the different subjects are listed then scroll down to the very bottom of the page. Inside a very dark green bar are the words, "Log Out | Mark All Forums Read | Forum Team | Forum Statistics"

Click on Forum Statistics. Lots of good info there.

Yeah, a couple months ago I started at the beginning of the membership list and if a member joined, but never posted, and they never re-visited the forum since the day they joined, I banned them as an expired member. I only did this with the '97 members. Next year I'll do it with the '98 members.

This is a great forum and source for tortoise information. I have joined some other tortoise forums and they don't have the same appeal this forum does. Everyone here seems to want to lend a hand which is good to see.
