I was just playing around with the new sorting features on the memberlist.

Counting only those people who stuck around long enough to accumulate 50 posts or more, I was the 21st Forge member...out of now 321.

Whats really interesting is the number of those original members with well over 100 or 150 posts and who are still here and still active.

That says something pretty profound about the quality of the members and dialogue here when the vast majority of the original member are still going strong after nearly a year (which is a life time in online forum years).
