999 bottles of beer on the wall....999 bottles of beer....wait....wrong song....
Well Sharks, sometime today we will pass the Millennium mark for members. That's 1000 members in just over 6 months. Amazing. Other than a few spammers who snuck in (and I think we've done a good job of keeping those guys out now), all of our members are real. No phony names. No one sitting in a back office somewhere dreaming up members. Real people. Real audiophiles. And real hard work to get here.
Throughout the past 6 months, it has impressed me how we have remained civil to one another. I believe it was Norman who said to me the other day, "I love Audioshark. It's an oasis of civility." OK, maybe not an oasis, but we are certainly a welcoming and civil online social gathering spot. We don't need a Lieutenant Dan because we police ourselves and act respectful to one another. As our site grows, this will become a challenge, but I know that the core group of founding members will ensure civility remains the underlying current in the waters of Audioshark.
Other sites are envious in not only our organic growth, but in the new friendships that many of us have shared and discovered.
As we claw and scratch our way to 2000 members, I look forward to hearing more from our quieter members. You know who you are lurking in the background!
Speak up! Everyone has something to say!
Again, I want to thank all of you for making Audioshark.org such a fun place to share in this interesting, and sometimes crazy hobby of ours.
We're just getting started....
