    It's a great feat, and may I join in congratulating Si on providing this great site. Within that c7000, though, how many are the hardcore members who post regularly?

    How would you define regularly? Like by number of posts or by how much you know other members? Because I say there's a good chunk of us.

    It's hard to tell really. For everyone here has their own distinct social network, a network that includes both those who we consider strictly aquaintances as well as those who have become personal friends (of whom we have inside jokes and PM on a regular basis). Although there is a large, close-knit group of us (including everyone who has posted in this thread thus far) of whom everyone knows of and associates with on an occasional, if not daily basis, there are several exceptions. What about one-Forum posters, such as those who spend most or all of their time in the Memorabilia Forum for instance (The Mantis)? What about those who post only occasionally but with such quality that they have become well-known (bigzilcho)? What about members who were once forum regulars but have been banished (bladerunner_ozd), now visit less often (The Cat), are MIA (Moore Not Less), or have left and may or may not return (MBE)? Even Sico, AJB’s founder and creator, seems only to pop in occasionally.

    I think it’s best that we don’t try and come up with a figure; we’re just going to leave somebody out! Who are we to judge anyway? ;)

    Here’s to 7000 members! {[]

    Amidst an array of road apples who pass through AJB (spiderman “No police in Rome” web), we do sometimes occasionally find some gems. :D

    No police in Rome? I remember that, but wasn't there another one by him about how buildings in Italy have no elevators and somehow I hijacked the thread and turned it into an AVTAK party? ;)

    Yes, there was. Just looked it up actually. And I must say, it's a fun read. Jetset has a real dagger of a post in there, just as funny the second time around! :D

    Ah memories... :D

    50 regular posters eh? Hmmm, I would hope there are more, but maybe you're right. Cheers to 7,000 though, that is just great. {[] How does that compare to other fan sites on the net? Does anyone know?

    Tip of the hat to those that created this site. It certainly is a fine piece of the Bond fan world.

    IDK if this has ever been done or has ever been suggested, but what about a get together or something like that. It would be an absolute blast sometime to get together as many people as possible for a gathering.

    However, if only 50-100 people regularly post and they are seemingly from all over the world, then IDK what the turnout would be like. Just a thought for the barrel. Cheers again!!! -{
