500 members!

[Christophe]

Art,

Thanks for your answer.
It is clear and explains why a gap.
I agree, we probably are only 350 members, including those who just visited the site once, registered at that time, and maybe never came back. But, the truth is that we are something around 350 members, even if some are not so active as others... But, even if they come only once a year, they - somewhere - are still members. The gap between 350 and 400+ ? Your explanation seems logical.

As soon as you have delete these accounts at the beginning of next year, it will give us another occasion to celebrate again the 400th Member !!
Isn't it enthousiastic ?

Cheers.

Sorry Christophe,

It appears you posted a reply before I posted my edited message. Take a look again at my post, I break down the membership tally there.

So, after 365 days searching, reading, learning, having fun... posting, also (I hope a few Members find interest in reading them !!); I would like to say a BIG BIG Bravo to Art, all the Moderators and Members, for making this place so wonderful and extraordinary.

Art, one more time, sincere Congratulations !!!

I have to say that in my travels learning about the operation of other forums on the net, we have a very talented and generous group of people who work here as moderators and members who contribute day in and day out. We must be doing a good job. See the post regarding the images donated by Paul McDaniel

I just had to say that I am a total rookie at medal collecting and I am a member at other forums, but this one is the best. At no time are members not willing to help me. You guys and this website/forum are making me enjoy my new hobby tremendously. Thanks to all

Danny
