Foo - Whats going to happen when bf gets any bigger?

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

I just read a thread that says bikeforums is just under 65 thousand members strong.
What is going to happen when there are so many people posting on bike forums that no one sticks out as "foo regulars"

even right now, as little as i am on anymore i have no idea who most of the posters are except the forum celebrities.

i think bikeforums is slowly loseing it's small town feel.

Foo is still fairly small. There never seem to be more than 30 people viewing according to the counter.

When the pond gets bigger, you tend to only notice the biggest or shiniest fish.

When the pond turns into an ocean, it gets even more so.

Really, I don't mind it.

Merton has ventured over to the Roadie section; asking lots of question as only Merton can.

Hurry up and buy the bike already, Merton. :)

2.Make the occasional intelligent post, sprinkled in a large bowl of wit.

3.Add water. Stir.:)

1. Check. (credit Jef Mallet for that one.... Frazz rules!)
2. Check. (over 1000 posts. Three were intelligent, two were witty. That counts, I think)
3. Pour water on keyboard.... Check..... Oh sh**!......

actually I think we average about 500 or 600 members signed in, and about equal that number
of "guests" (which can include such things as web spiders, search engines etc.).

so, yah 42 is just about right

Yesterday 4813 members logged into the forums and made a total of 5418 posts.

6509 members have posted in the last month, 3533 members have posted in the last week.

Lots more lurkers then posters, but I think thats common on most forums.
