That's amazing!
Funny, but I wondered recently how many members there were here on this forum. I wonder if membership increases at certain times of the year or if there are interesting geographic statistics

It was late 2004 early 2005 TRF was first started by the original founder Mark and with most of today's Mods.But in those early days we had then just a few loyal members around 35 in total, most of those from another well known forum, but we did not like how that forum was run so left to form TRF,but that's now water under the bridge. And look how we have grown over the past 10 years, so as a forum we must be very proud of its members and what TRF has achieved today, the best Rolex and other watch forum on the net.

A very small fraction of the number who just like to browse and enjoy reading the content. And that's fine.

I'm glad to be a member. This is a good place for reading and learning (banter too) about Rolex and a host of other interesting topics. Some of the discussions here never cease to amaze.

This is a great place.

For a lot of reasons. Glad to see the level of success it has reached.

Cheers to another 150k.

I'd love to see some more stats. How may log in at least once per week? How many paying members? Geographic distribution of members? Etc.

Well, I guess at least some of you mugs deserve my company... <<NOSE IN THE AIR>>

And for that, I am eternally sorry

Hey Adam, does 150,000 include banned members, or are they backed out?

It seems, like any other forum, there are some active contributors that are helpful to all. Some that are not very nice and some that sit quietly to the side. Great to see such a big number. I have gone from zero knowledge of fine horology to slightly more in the few years I have been here. And for that I am grateful.

Congrats. Many are probably lurkers. I was a lurker myself, until I bought a watch from another fellow TRF member. There's also bound to be a % that are inactive, but from what I can see, there is still a healthy number of active users.

Too many who ask if their Rolex can be used in ____ conditions
