Mark Aldrich Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Wow, Guess I'll stop posting! Don't want to be number one at anything!
Dick Montgomery Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Wow, Guess I'll stop posting! Don't want to be number one at anything! Well Mark, You've already broken that New Years Resolution!
802chrisg Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Wow, Guess I'll stop posting! Don't want to be number one at anything! Yep this counts as one and if you reply ( and we all know you will) that will be two.
ghodges Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Nah...the only reason we're anywhere near the top of the list is because Jack Bruno quit the forums! As for me, I'm not gonna try any harder just 'cause I'm #2 (a fact many here have accused me of for years!) :D GIL
DennisTennant Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Posted January 17, 2013 Wow, Guess I'll stop posting! Don't want to be number one at anything! That ship has already sailed, my friend. Your "top poster" medal is being cast now and will be presented at an appropriate time, hehe.
Mark Deliduka Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 Cool! I'm in the top five! Not bad considering 1/3rd of my posts are showing my own work! I want tickets to Mark Aldrich's award ceremony! Front row!
PeteJ Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 Just a word of advise to you top 10 - QUIT SCREWING AROUND ON THE WEB AND GO BUILD SOMETHING! :drillsergeant:
Mark Deliduka Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 Just a word of advise to you top 10 - QUIT SCREWING AROUND ON THE WEB AND GO BUILD SOMETHING! :drillsergeant: What? You haven't been following my Works in Progress Threads? Last year I showed over fifty models in progress; forty-four of which got finished and I STILL came in fifth! :D I'm sorry I finished so few, Dora and a few four-engined aircraft slowed me down...
Ron Bell Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 Interesting that 8% of our visitors are from outside the US. I'm sure some of that is from service people overseas, but some of it must be from non-US types as well.
DennisTennant Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Posted January 18, 2013 In the last few weeks I've added folks from Portugal, Greece and Britain to our forum.
ClareWentzel Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 Good data Dennis and Eric. It shows that the items that we publish get viewed. I for one, however, would love to see the numbers shoot up even more. Lets get some good discussion topics going. When I click on the "show new content" button, most of the new subjects are reviews. Now, this is good because we have been pumping out a lot of reviews in the last year or so but I would also like to see more questions, comments, into requeste etc.
Rusty White Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 The forum grew by 12%. Hope we can continue with even better numbers.
David M. Knights Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 #6? OMG. Well, at least I managed to stay out of the top 5.
