Well, it is somewhere around our 6th year as the forums, I guess this means we have endured.

We currently have
Threads: 5,610, Posts: 54,479, Members: 4,525
We average about 250-300 member views a day with >1000 who are not logged in
John Lucas takes the top prize for most posts at >2400
7273 photos with 11,398,164 views

AND 333 banned hackers

Now blow out the candles. The cake is whatever flavor you make it.

6th birthday

I joined less than a year ago. The forum is full of knowledge, quick, and I have found some information not available any other place mainly due to members willing to share. Happy Birthday.
 
Dang, I guess I need to learn to keep my mouth shut, or my fingers or whatever this is. I have certainly learned a lot from all the posters so there's a method to my madness. :) Thanks to all you guys who run this forum. It works well because of you.
 
Thanks to all those responsible for having this forum up and running......and, also thanks to those who have shared insight and information.

As a result of participating in this forum, I am a better turner!

Well done, Steve. I know what's involved in running a vBulletin forum with roughly the same number of members (and about four times the traffic), so I admire and appreciate your efforts behind the scenes here.
