Howdy Guys and Gals,
Sorry about the attention getting title above, but this is a very important thread here and I wanted everyone to see it and I knew with a title like that, everyone would read it.
There is a very important event happening in the very near future, within the next week or two as a matter of fact if I have figured right.
Any guesses? Well, if you guessed that this site is about to gain its 5,000th member, you were right. Apparently we all just missed the 4 year anniversary of the site within the past month or two (not sure of the date myself, but maybe John can tell us).
So anyway, the following Private messege was sent to John and I think we should all tell him thank you and wish him a happy anniversary and congratulations (in this thread) on this achievement (soon to be).

Howdy John,
I know I am abit premature here by about a week or two, hopefully less, but I wanted to congratulate you on an upcoming milestone for the forum.
While looking through the site, I happened to notice that the membership is now 4,906. Thats only 94 people from 5,000 which is a number I figure will be hit in the next week or two.
I am not sure if any of the other members realize this or not, but with that many people, I know we must have members from every continent (more than likely, with Antartica the possible exception), and a great majority of the nations on the planet.
I plan on starting a thread (this private messege will be in the thread) noting this milestone and was curious as to a few "facts".
When did the site first come into being?
What made you decide to create this forum?
Who were its first members? (If you can remember)
And lastly Did you ever think it would grow as much as it has through the years?
The first records of the site on the net is from March, 22nd 2004 (See here: Internet Archive Wayback Machine ). On that date, there was 54 threads and 105 posts with 26 members. Compared to April 1st, 2008 which has/had 4,613 threads and 35,572 posts. Unfortunately I couldnt read any of the posts. But if you look at how the site has changed over time, its really remarkable the transformation it has gone through in the last four yrs. And by the way, according to the date listed above, congratulations on a 4 yr anniversary too
Anyway, if you want to have abit of fun, look at the various dates in the above link to see all the changes the site has gone through.
So, again, congratulations and happy anniversary John, you've done good:respect1:.

So, for those of you who got snookered into reading this by its catchy title, why not go ahead and beat the rush, reply to this thread and wish John the best and congratulate him on a Job well done. It only takes a minute to do so.
Have a good day,
