Please welcome natgild, our newest member.

Sorry, but no lottery prize for number 5000 :(

It is rewarding to see that after almost 6 years, WXforum.net is still going strong, and it's all thanks to you, the members, who keep this a great place for weather enthusiasts to gather and share weather events and technical support for each other.

Here's to the next 5000 members  UU  =D>  \:D/

Best regards,
Ken

How many are Spammers or one time hit & run posters?

How many have 20 or more posts?

How many have made valid posts (no Spam) in the last year?

Go Here:
http://www.wxforum.net/index.php?action=mlist;sort=posts;start=0

and you can see some of that for yourself. That's the entire member sorted by number of posts, highest to lowest. Click on Posts again and see it sorted lowest to highest.

I've had a couple of PMs recently from members with zero post counts. Clearly there are lurkers who don't post.

...as Pat Paulson on LAUGH-IN used to say: "...picky, picky, picky..." (ha,ha)!

Pat Paulson also said (while running for president), "I've upped my standards, so up yours!"  :D
