Benno's Figures Forum

Posted by **Benno** on 12 Oct 2009, 22:29

Nobody noticed but next to my birthday it was also the second birthday of the forum last Saturday!

Started on October 7th but launched on October 10th, the forum started with only 10 members in the first few weeks. Now two years later around 10 members join every week! It was a lot when a 100 posts were made in a month, now they're made in a day!

We've got over 260 members now who combined made 22400 posts. Each day over a thousand unique visitors visit the forum. There are a lot of people that haven't joined but do follow the forum (if you're one of them please join, it only takes a minute of your time! :-D

).

I'd like to thank everybody for making the forum for what it is now. Without you all this wouldn't be as fun to hang around. Thanks! :thumbup:

Thanks from me too for a great job. One of the best web designs I know in the hobby. Member numbers steadily growing - that speeks for itself. :thumbup:

(I doubt though that we REALLY share the same interests. :mrgreen:

Far and away the very best 1/72nd figures forum on the internet*, with a collection of awesome members. Thanks very much Benos for setting it up and running it (and you to Remco and the Mods for helping).

* it goes something like

This is one of the best forums I've seen. Much thanks to Benno, the Mods and Remco. But Benno said

if you're one of them please join, it only takes a minute of your time!

. And after that it takes over your life! :-D

But it's worth it! :thumbup:

Hi Benno,
As the first one who became member of this forum (after you of course) I am pleased that we have so much members.
And I think it is the best forum on the web about figs scale 1:72 and smaller.
Three cheers for the founder: :cheers:

And that it long may live.
