Hey,

Another milestone hit today - 6,000 members now on the forum!

Though a quiet period on the forum at the moment, it's great to see the forum still going from strength-to-strength!

Give yourselves a pat on the back for being such great members and welcoming the all new people to the forum!

Thank you.

[Dizi]

Woohoo to the growing numbers on the forum, it is great to see this place go from strength to strength and still keep the super friendly laid back attitude

[MolotovRuss]

Excellent news! Build it, and they will come. Make sure it's valid, and they will rank it.

[tigerlabs]

Great news!

[BlueDreamer]

Blimey it's still motoring along. I presume this is mostly word of mouth and search engine traffic Ben - have you been actively promoting it as well?

[ElanMan]

Congratulations Ben! Keep up the good work

Yeah absolutely, it's going great.

Yes, you got it, it's word of mouth and SEO optimisation only, a bit more can be done and with V.3.0 of the forum - there will be SEO Friendly urls so that will defintely improve Search Engine rankings for topics.

I think Social Bookmarking has helped alot e.g. StumbleUpon & Digg so if you could all Stumble/Digg helpful topics, hopefully it will keep the momentum going!

Thanks again.

Another milestone passes in WDF's meteoric rise to stardom! It's great to think there are 5,999 knowledgeable, talented, imaginative, friendly and open members - and me!

[aaron1uk]

i wonder if i was 6000 i registered today yet mine says i am 7500 something. Congrats though.

[Boyles Web Design]

Congrats Everyone Ben if you dont mind me asking, how many hits do we get a day?

[Skysurge]

I joined yesterday! I contributed! haha

[Oaten]

i came along today

seems a good friendly community so far

[Webhost4life]

I'm a new comer!
just found the forum

[traxor]

That's really good, for a forum with only 6000 members it's very active. I'm used to being on forums with ~100 000 users, which are only a little more active than this one! It's a really good achievement .

[Rickton]

I must admit, i am very new to the site, i stumbled across it via a search engine!

Oddly perhaps, my area of expertise is Business Management, yet i have developed an interest in webdesign, so i enjoy the Business section of the site as much as anything else!

But i have certainly found it to be a vast source of knowledge and support, so i certainly believe i will be here to stay

Good job in getting 6,000 people to join a forum

My biggest forum is still only at a couple of thousand!

How long have you been up and running now?

[Sam Christy]

WOW hello all 6000 of you! Great work Ben

Keep persavering! I think having quality is better than quantity, just make sure you maintain your forum well, be helpful and remove spam as quickly as possible!

The forum has been running a little over 2 years, here is the happy birthday thread!

Are you aware the last reply to this topic was a year ago? Are you just going to add a reply to every topic to build up your post count? Its not a tactic I would advise as people will start to assume you are a spammer.
