Title: 300,000 members
Post by: MollyC on Tuesday 09 December 25 11:13 GMT (UK)
Has anyone noticed we are one new member away from having 300,000 members?  Nothing succeeds like success.  Congratulations to the team which launched Rootschat and keeps it running so well.

I'd love to know how many have made a comment in the last 12 months.

300 000 members? That's every person in Bradford or Southend according to Wikipedia!

It would be interesting to see a breakdown of that statistic, how many joined when etc.
And of course, how many are active at all.

Is it possible to actually "leave" Rootschat?
All I know is that I have been most grateful for its existence over the years.

I have a question: didn't there used to be over 6 million helpful posts? Now it's 1.3 million.

Cockney Rebel, in the words of the Eagles, you can check out but you can never leave.

Perhaps somebody rethought the definition of "helpful" ?!
