That's odd... I've spent the whole day on the sites that are ahead of us, and they seem to be doing better and better!

I can honestly say that the number is nice, but I am enjoying myself more the past week or so then I have in a long time. Aside from a little hiccup with past bickerings and also another holy roller problem.
I think that the numbers will come, maybe soon or maybe later, but we have a great foundation for a forum that could really have some great staying power, let's just keep working at it and we'll get to where we want to.

JJ, considering that two months ago, this place didn't even make the listing, to be ranked in the top 10 on the European Top 100 and in the top 50 on the Watch Top 100's is pretty damned good IMO. We are not in a contest to be No. 1. If we get there fine. If we never get there, that's fine, too. The point is we have a great group of people here with more coming over all the time. I'm not quite ready to take up Rashy's exclusive club suggestion, but sometimes it does have some appeal to it. One of those - why let more people in who could only screw up the balance we have now. But then I remember that it's always good to bring in new blood so that we become and remain a diverse bunch. My motto - the more the merrier. So bring 'em on and let's have fun.

I don't know that a forum's "absolute rank" is all that meaningful - I wonder exactly how they actually calculate "rank" - does anyone know? About "the list" - I think it's best use might be as a barometer of "growth" (or lack thereof) considering that most other members of the "list" are relatively static. P.S.: Is there a tutorial here about using the "post response" screen - seems a bit complicated with "features". Learning curve - here I come! |

Glad you came out of the closet and into the open air, Mink. Welcome to the Fun Bunch.
As for the rankings, I have no idea how they work, nor do I particularly care. We are not in a contest. After all, what's the prize for getting to #1? Bragging rights? Whooppee!! And it's highly unlikely we would ever make the No. 1 slot. Not with WUS so far ahead of everyone else in hits. Nope, I'm happy we are in the top 10 and top 50, respectively, this early in the game. That means we are being noticed. The more we are noticed, the more visitors we will get, and hopefully, the more members will participate here. As I said before, the more the merrier.

The rankings main purpose is to let people see our name and if they are interested they can join. In my opinion it is more worthy as a sign post to our forum than an indicator of where we are in popularity.
