I was looking at the numbers on the opening page of the Community Pages for the Celtic Forums. I like numbers, I like milestones. Members: 33,922 - Topics: 14,746 - Posts: 290,037 Close to 35,000 members, close to 15,000 topics, and close to 300,000 posts!! In my number brain the questions are: WHICH milestone will fall first? WHEN will these numbers be surpassed? One, all three?? Oh and WHY do I care?
Well I think it's very significant for some reason. A sign of..... um....of well what?? A sign of Great Interest in a topic we all share? An Accomplishment of THIS site?? Success in a way?? Being part of something special??
Hmmm....
I do like numbers and records as I have said and I do like being a part of this Community.

Hey Togo! I've been looking at the numbers, too. Pretty impressive stuff! I think it will be pretty cool to go over 35,000 members.
I'm going to guess that the 35,000 will come first, but I could be wrong. I don't know what all the numbers indicate either except that folks love the music and love this place. It's a good community with some really friendly folks (and a few grumpy ones to keep us all honest!)
I like watching the numbers increase! Let's keep it up!
Take care and have a great day!

Thank you all for celebrating this milestone! Our apologies, we are a bit overwhelmed right now with new CDs arriving and we have all of this donation gifts to send out.
