I would be interested to know :

How old is the Forum?
How many members?
How Many messages?
How many hits per day?

No real reason. Just curious.

Cheers
Chris

The site was launched January 1, 1999.

The forum was added sometime in April. (For some reason the date April 6th comes to mind, but I'm not sure.)

There are a few hundred members who have registered and posted at least once. Most people quietly sneak in and lurk without posting.

You can get the current number of topics and messages by clicking the top yellow folder labeled "Film-Tech Forums" at the extreme top of this page. Currently there are over 500 topics and over 5000 posts.

As to hits on the forum, I'm really not sure. My stats got completely messed up at the end of December when the old host crashed, but the site as a whole had a few days at that point of tipping 10,000 visitors a day. Some people would visit for 1 minute and others would stay for an hour.
