The growth of this forum
« on: 09.02. 2010 16:35 »
Maybe this is an observation all too obvious to our administrator, but the Forum growth rate has been incredible. It took around 34 months to get to the first 100 members, while the last 141 have come aboard in about 13 months (and that doesn't include dropouts). I believe it is a real testament to Erling's idea and to the hard work that has gone into keeping it a great place for us to gather.

Thanks, again, Erling.

Indeed it is a great forum and one of my first visits of the day... However there are still many who are not aware of the A7 & A10 forum and I cannot understand why those owners who have computers have not found us yet. Over the weekend I was talking to an A10 owner about the horrid  back brake cable, I mentioned to him that there is a good fix and is mentioned in great detail on the "A7 & A10 forum" Didn't know it existed was his reply. Wonder if he'll join us?

I also would like to take this opportunity to thank Erling for all his hard work that makes this forum a place for like-minded people to meet, discuss and have fun.
I'm relatively new here, but I must say it is one of the first forums I attended where I really feel comfortable to be part of.

Erling deserves a Knighthood.
