We appear today to have reached the point (Motorpoint!) when there are 100,000 retained (ie not including deleted or time-expired) posts on this forum. No mean achievement in a relatively short time!
So, I propose a vote of thanks to all those responsible for making this one of the most helpful sites on the 'net.
Hopefully, as was once said to me about VW's when you reach 100,000...the best is yet to come!

I agree, its not only the remarkable number of contributors and extent of knowledge, the forum is very well designed and very well moderated. The two main divisons of discussion and technical work very well. It is so easy to follow threads and reply to posts compared Yahoo groups and others.
The moderating is active and prevents abusive and irrelevant topic which is also very welcome.

As well as the depth and breadth of knowledge, the sheer vigilance in the Back Room amazes me - as evidenced by swift and relevant responses to seemingly the most obscure question. Someday I'll try to dredge up a real baffler.

Oz (as was)

Thank you for that, CS.

p.s. I shall try to identify who posted the 100,000th note.

I think Mark said there were 41,000 visitors to this site so why is it that only about 200 bother to post anything ?

"Vive La BackRoom"
Or, as the crowds were alleged to have shouted when France was liberated, and they were reading what they thought were the names of the passing Allied tanks: "Vive check oil level"...
Congratulations, guys.

Yep: its a good site. And this from a Guardian reader since 1963! Now this wil cause trouble I fear....

Thoroughly endorse the praise given to those who have worked so hard to establish what must be the foremost site of its kind,and of course to those who have contributed in the way of an amazing breath and depth of knowledge, anecdotes, humour, and (surprisingly often, since it's a commodity which seems to be in short supply these days), good old-fashioned commonsense.

PS Nortones2 - and a far better read than the Guardian, where commonsense seems to be in even shorter supply since they dropped the Manchester bit! (ducks, and hides behind his DT ....)
PPS Who would ever have thought there would be something to thank B****h for - he (and even LAC....) must have been responsible for a fair few of the 100000!
