They come and go, but as far as I know, yes, that is an all time high. But it's also a mite deceiving. Some register and then never post anything. Do they come back to just look? Who knows? 

I do thank all the people who take the time and trouble to read or post, though. This place would be nothing without them. And I can't take much of the credit. The numbers were already high when Iain Grant restarted the place after - was it Phil? - took the last incarnation of SOWNY down and Iain started it all over again. 

It's grown over the years (and with some of my ridiculous pun input, also groan over the years) but the posters make it work. So kudos to all of you. I may get the name "Moderator." But all the guys and gals who gather here are the real strength of SOWNY.  

I remember adding a counter to the site during the Craig Smith years. I thought there was something wrong with it - I installed the counter and within seconds there were 30 or so visitors. But no, it was correct - that was the popularity of SOWNY back then. I wouldn't be surprised if it's even more popular now. To think, I almost closed in late 2000 due to lack of interest, just before it exploded in popularity. Who knew?

Here's the top list from the beginning of the time Iain Grant brought SOWNY back to life on May 28, 2015. The numbers are the posts each has put up on SOWNY over the years until May 13, 2022. All are valued contributors, although not all joined at the same time. 

If nothing else, it proves that some of you guys have way too much time on your hands! And I'm grateful you do!

oof, I've been on here since the days of Craig running things, so it's a lot of years, but still, that's a lot of posts...🤨 it's like reading how many tweets you've done.

but seriously, I enjoy the community here on the big yellow board and reading everyone's thoughts, opinions and experiences, sometimes it gets a tad off the wall but never dull. And the puns are just an added funnybonus.

Merci RA
