Congratulations to us and Lotus Joe for hitting a new milestone!
« on: Tuesday,October 25, 2016, 07:14:12 AM »
I just peeked at the statistics for this forum. Some time, probably recently, we got our 600th member!  :beerchug: :trophy: :pirate:

The rest of the statistics are pretty good as well! Not bad for a forum pertaining to cars that were introduced fifty years ago and had a total production run of less than 10,000 cars!

Wow, even if a lot of that 600 aren't regular participants it's still an impressive tally. I must admit I  usually "drop in" twice a day, while I'm having that first coffee and then later on in the evening and there's normally a few posts to catch up on.

Another thanks to Joe, firstly for conceiving the idea and more importantly for keeping it up and running.   :beerchug:

No need to thank me. This forum is for all YOU Europa nuts. Not bad for only being around 4 1/4 years.

Another congrats and thanks to all. This is a very pleasant and nicely run forum, and I'm very thankful for its being here. Cheers.

I'm new to this forum and I can't thank you all enough. The sage advice and following of others projects is not only vital, but great entertainment over a cup of coffee. Like others, it's my morning visit and evening review. Particularly while I restore my 72 Europa!

I think I'm speaking for everybody here when I say our reward is hearing about your progress and hearing about your first (and subsequent) drives in your baby!

Joe, I was just wondering if you had "official" stats for 2016.

That is excellent news. clearly over the last  year or two this forum reached a turning point, with the number of active members on line and several post made every day. But I am surprised that the 2016 figures are not significantly more than 2015 (with less page views).
I know there are other Europa owners out there who don't use this forum too!

Dave,

Interesting stuff there! I'm a little surprised that we only had about 2000 more views in '16 over '15.

Yeah, I'm the top poster. Sometimes I just can't keep my yap shut even if I have nothing useful to say!

I have revised the stats stated in my earlier post.
I'm actually a little surprised that the "Yahoo Group Format" is still around. I would have thought Yahoo would have abandoned that format some years back. But Yahoo continues to hang in there. I don't know if our little forum ever out pace Yahoo but, I have to say we are a good active group. It will be interesting to see what changes will occur if the Yahoo / Verizon merger comes to fruition. In the mean time we continue marching forward.

Thanks for everyone's participation  :beerchug:
