Which will we reach first; 100,000 threads or 20,000 members?

Obviously we're one thread closer now ... but wow ... we've come a long way in the last few years.

How about 2,000,000 messages?

Remember when we all just turned up on your doorstep soaking wet?

Yes, and the first thing he did was to put the kettle on.

It didn't suit him, but that is another story.

He said threads, not posts. Now go start a new thread with each of those posts.

As a matter of interest, Shaun ...

Is there a size of membership beyond which you think our 'community spirit' might start to suffer?

The feel of BikeRadar (215,000 members), for instance, is much less cosy. As for BikeForums (226,000 members) - that is so huge that I gave up using it because I just felt lost there!

I think a steady growth to 30-40,000 might be okay, but I wouldn't really like to see CycleChat++ with 100,000+ members.

Oops. Take 100 lines - I must read thread titles in future....

@ColinJ - I haven't really thought about it TBH. I think our "suck it and see" approach has worked well for us so far, so I'll stick with that for now. If we need to diversify later on we'll work it out between us.

You could cap the membership numbers or chuck out folk that only post rubbish... *cough*
