10,000 Members!


Well, it's taken us three and a half years to get here but we finally hit 10,000 Members!

I think that's pretty good considering I delete spam accounts and don't allow DIY homeowners to join. 10,000 professional contractors in one place all sharing business in trade knowledge . This is really turning into the place "Where The Trades Meet"!

Thanks to everyone who has helped spread the word. I ask new members how they heard about the site when they join. More and more I'm having people tell me that one of our members told them about the site.

HUGE THANKS to our Moderators. They play a big role in keeping this site so well run. I really couldn't do this without them.

Finally, I'd like to just say that we have a lot in store for you next year and I can't wait to unveil some of our new projects. It's been a pleasure serving you guys and I hope to come up with a lot more tools and resources for you soon.

Thanks Again!

Re: 10,000 Members!


That's pretty cool! I'm also curious as to how many were here when I joined, those of us just 'chewing the fat' were pretty few. Who would have ever thought that it would have grown into this! Congrats!

Re: 10,000 Members!


I remember days when it was just Nat, Flor, Grumpy and myself with a few others dropping in. Nat can correct me but in my memory there were days when most of the posts were ours and the total wasn't that high.
