Moderators can get pay and benefits ?????????...... HEY GUTH, we need to talk!

I do like to ride a lot. Typically everyday

Since the first of the month, .. Mon 168 mi, Tues 28, Wed 131, Thurs 172, Fri 109, Sat 49, Sun 57, Mon 55 and yesterday 127

Missed 1 day in June, 1 day in July, and a funeral and vacation with my wife cost me 8 days in August.

Hmmmm... Think I can translate what that means.

Hey, once the cheque is posted we can't guarantee when it'll arrive; just be patient....
When I was an admin we made twice the pay of a mod with double the benefits too.....

I'm not good at math.

Lets see, 2x+2x=?
Let x=0

Apropos the startup of the forum mentioned by popgun (member number 4), by the end of the day after Guth launched it on 14 April 2013, there were 22 members. That doesn't include member number 1 called Admin who I suspect is Guth's alter ego.

When I looked this morning, 10 of those members were still active and 1 is hyperactive. That means 50% of the founding contingent are still active on the forum. That means they've visited the site since September 1, 2014.

I’m no expert on Internet forums (this is the very first one I joined) but that seems a good participation rate to me.

The forum stats say there are now 1,590 members, so the forum continues to grow, although short of manually counting, which I'm not going to do, it’s hard to say how many of them are active.

I just checked and of the first 13 members, 9 of those were logged into the forum today!

Yeah, there was a higher attrition after no. 13.

One reason for setting up this forum was to continue and expand on the conversation that started on the epic CB1100 thread over on the ADV Rider forum. Then, as now, ferret was a major driving force behind so much of what is good about those exchanges. Thank goodness that he decided to hop on board here.

My hat's off not just to Mickey, but to all who have come along for the ride.

On a side note: Man I'm envious of all of you who are retired and enjoying it!

Congratulations. 6000 posts sounds a lot in any language. Let me see.....think.....think....stop thinking, get calculator! My post average 2.1 per day. 6000 - 747 = 5253 posts to go. 5253 / 2.1 = 2501. 2501 / 365 = 6.8 years to go,disregarding leap years. I'll be lucky to be riding a mobility scooter by then.

So, in summary, goodonyamate!
