Well, not exactly Kyle.
The last member to join was number 11,207.
The 10,000 just hasn't been updated for a while.
Hover your mouse over any user name on here and down the bottom of your browser you'll see what member number they are. Yours is 2,665.
yeh... forums is great

you're not quite right with saying that it "hasnt been updated"..

old members that havent been here for a while are purged from the system, so we actually have just got our 10,000th active user...

its quite a remarkable achievement for a forum thats only a year old....not even

Don't know off hand. As long as they are visiting that's all that matters. A lot of people lurk and don't feel comfortable posting .. or feel they have nothing to add.. or are like to watch.

There will be a nice prize pack going out to the 10,000th member when we actually work out who that is!

The actual 10,000 th active registrant is still classified as awaiting e-mail confirmation as are the 4 users either side!

I will review this over the next couple of days based on purging the end of week unconfirmed email addresses (one of the reasons why we have over 11,000 actual registrations for our 10,000 live memebrs).

Stay tuned.

Russ
