    I don't talk too much about my forum because it's not open to everyone and I don't want to be rude. It's a support forum for a specific group of people.

    This article has been written up about my site and was posted in a Coast Guard District newsletter and in our local paper. Now it's been picked up by Women's Online Magazine and is their feature story.

    So here, in a nutshell, is what me and my site/forum is all about. Nick Ameen, his wife is a member of the forum, did a great job with the article and I couldn't be more proud!

    p.s. It does have a live stream going, so you may need to adjust your volume before you visit the link. Scared the crap out of me! LOL

    Tremendous article. You should be very proud for all you have done helping everyone.

    I do have a question.

    Are there really 1,600 members making 2,700 posts per day?

    :eek:

    Did I do it wrong? I very well could have! LOL That does seem ridiculous!
    In the Admin panel, new posts for the entire month of March was 83939, divided by 31 days = an average of 2,700.

    I have 1,556 members right now because I pruned since that article was published. On Nov 4th, my highest so far this month, there were 2501 new posts.
    I'd say there is a core of maybe 1,000 posters creating those numbers. The rest make the minimum of 2 posts per month to stay active.
