    Default 10,000 Members !!!

    Wow, I just noticed the Guild has now surpassed 10,000 members!

    Seems to me there should be some type of post to commemorate this great feat. Since I joined here in June, this board has grown at least by 1,000 members. Long may the Guild live on!

    I wonder how many are actually active though.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    None the less though that mean the Guild now has divisional strength. We should organize into battlin buddy brigades and battalions now, right?

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    Some stats:

    as of 1300 GMT, 29 Dec 04:
    76 Senior Members

    4,369 Members (of whom about 2,000 have visted in past week, and about 550 have posted)

    5,480 Junior Members (of whom 1,095 have posted at least once; meaning there are over 4,000 registered "lurkers")

    We register, on average, 18 new usernames per day. Highest number of new registerees per day was 52 when R:TW was released; lowest number was 2.

    Finally, on average, we have double the number of unregistered "Guests" visiting at any given time, than we have registered users visiting.

    One can draw several conclusions from those numbers; my favorite is: We have many, many (did I say 'many'?) many more readers here than we have writers. It's helpful for those 10% or so who are "the writers" to remember their entire audience - your post may be directed to one or two individual users, but it is read by hundreds, sometimes thousands.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Then we had best put on our finest clothes and use the most Victorian of language lest we cause affront to the readers out there.
