Seems like only yesterday we were all amazed at getting 4,000 members.

Wow! That's awesome.
The Navy SEALS removed one Muslim threat to America.
It's up to the voters to remove another.
Yeah, and only had three "smileys" from which to choose!

I think there were less than 500 when I joined.
Do we have member numbers? I would like to see how much of an old fogey I am on this forum.
EDIT:
Just checked the "members list" and sorted by join date.
I am #21.
IIRC, I was a lurker on the old board, and joined this one when it started.
20,000 people later and I still have only 304 posts.

Great to have 20K members
But , I just wonder
How many post at least once in a while ?
Or how many are nothing more than lurker's that signd up ?
Or how many signed up and never stop in ?

From what I have seen when checking for a MEMBER about 20% are active and most of the rest are here for the information and never post.
Could be they are just bashful.

This board is GREAT! I am retired so I have time to post do other things to make those around me miserable. That said, the amount of knowledge available on the site is outstanding. Many members who do not post a great deal can benefit from the discussions that show up here. The members as a group, have much experience and in depth understanding. I was once told by a very intelligent gentleman: "That I never met a really good shot that I didn't like." To a great degree that applies to the members of this board.
Well, I read a LOT more than I post. Aside from the fact so many here know more than I do about casting, I am still working for my living, and, therefore, others have already said what I would have said, had I been online during the day, which was when the question was asked. Whew, long sentence!
Any other working folks find that keeping up on the forum can cut into the time available for casting, shooting, etc?

Hello. I found this sitr while looking for info. on the Srevens 44. I lurked for two or three months before I joined just to get the feel of the group. It is good to click on and read some of your posts and see pics of your toys. Being able to learn something about yhr sport is a plus anytime. uncle Jed
I found this site while looking how to make my own gas checks.
Well, I read a more than I post, because it's not easy for me to write a post in english.

Becoming a member and casting my own boolits has done wonders for my complexion over the years.
I seem to be developing a growth on my backside though, and I've been having trouble sitting upright lately.
When I was young we thought having a Mohawk hair cut was weird... nowdays... My god!
Experience is the source of all knowledge.
How low does your self esteem have to be to walk around with a look like that? Maybe his girlfriend is a Komoto Dragon.

Wonder how the job applications are working out?
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
Well me Da has been a member long before myself. When I waltzed along he'd been here prolly 4 years and casting prolly 15 years before my birth. 1957 or so?
