I just compiled the membership growth statistics from our opening date, 25 Dec 2000, to the end of 2007. As I look at the steady upward trend, I have to wonder if 2008 will be the year we finally break 10,000 registered members?

I've attached an Excel Graph that shows how the membership has steadily grown. A couple of key points:

1. It took better than 3 months to get our first 100 members.

2. It took a full year after that (March 02) to reach 500, but within 6 months (Sept 02) we doubled that and hit 1000 members.

3. We hit 5000 members in August 2005.

4. Our overall average members per month for all years combined is 99 new members average per month. For 2007 only, the average was 112 new members.


I have a few new things planned for 2008, bt I don't want to give too much away. 2008 will be a fun time to be an active member here, lets just say that much /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cowboy.gif


Happy New Year Everyone!

Ditto here! Looking forward to this year and many more at the BCF.
At work we have a backup for each employee. Who is the backup Administrator in case of anything...

Steve, is that a birthday cake icon I see there tonight, 1 Jan 2008? You mean you are a New Years baby? Happy Birthday!
 
Steve,

I suspect that you're the earliest member who is still active here, I know Nial probably ranks up there too. And happy birthday to you too...

But then I've been here for quite awhile too... Now that I think about it /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif

All the best for BCF in 2008 and the future, Basil...

Basil, have you ever thought just how many people you have introduced to each other because of your web site? People who would never have any conversation with one another? All the folks on this forum. I personally met,(not in person yet), one of the nicest people you could ever think of in Australia. You know, that place down under where the people walk upside down. We keep in touch by email. I never would have happened without this forum. Thank you for your dedication to this site. You do a wonderful job! Good luck in 2008, we wish you well! PJ
 
Many thanks for your hard work on this place, Basil.

Without the BCF, I never would have restored my second GT6 (sold the first one in 1973).

I can't believe I've been here for four years. We all know what time does when we're having fun!!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/angel.gif

Thanks for the memories! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif
 
BCF is without a doubt the only place on the internet where I spent QUALITY TIME!!! Sincerest thanks to Basil and all who add to the quality and enjoyment!!! 12000 in '08? /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grouphug.gif
