There are 776 of us?!?

[Jenn in Mo]

I had no idea. I knew there were a lot. But truly, I had NO idea there were that many of us. How can it feel like such an intimate group when there SEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX of us? lol!

[Amy in NH]

Yee haw! :D

[Daisy]

I know! I find that really amazing.

[Janet in WA]

I had no idea. I knew there were a lot. But truly, I had NO idea there were that many of us. How can it feel like such an intimate group when there SEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX of us? lol!I just checked, and it's showing 866 active members.

[Amy loves Bud]

I know! I had no idea. This has been very fun - I've learned a lot about the Hive Mind in the past 24 hours!

[GreenKitty]

Wow! That's a bunch!:)

[mommylaw]

I scrolled through some of the member list. It's so much fun to put faces with names. :)

[Jenn in Mo]

I'm afraid that if you're names starts with anything past an "M", I'm not going to see your profile for at least another month!

[awanama]

I never realized there were so many of us either! It's nice to know that we have that much support!:)

[Amy in NH]

Okay, not so yeehaw.

How many times this evening have I clicked to find that the server is busy?
Too many.

But I think I may be a larvae now!

[Amy in NH]

Okay, not yet.

[Amy in NH]

Ha! That did it! :D

[MotherMayI]

I've got a long way to go to be a larvae...but I too have found the server to be busy several times. That will take some getting used to (among other things) :).

[Maxine in WA]

Yep, the server has been busy a lot for me today, too. Still and all, this is a fun forum to play on, huh? I'm concerned that the server will be down quite a bit once more and more people post pictures and such. Other forums have had to disable some features because the server(s) just couldn't handle the traffic. Time will tell if that happens here. In the meantime, I've never posted so much in one day before. I used to lurk a lot, but now I wanna play, hee hee.:p

[Deidre in GA]

i've been surprised at the numbers also, especially the fact that within the first few hours of the announcement, over 500 had registered.

[WTMCassandra]

Now there are 921 of us!

[Karin]

Well, I think there are lots of lurkers who like to read. Jenn, you can skip my profile as so far I haven't put anything in there. I'd like to do an Avatar, but that's going to take some work as I don't know how to do that and it's going to be tough to find just one thing to suit, I think.

I was very active on the old board, so I'm wondering how long it takes to become a larva. Icky step to becoming a worker bee, I guess.

[gardenschooler]

Even the lurkers are accounted for. Isn't that what the guest number means? People reading and not logged in? You only have to register in order to post. It always bothered me that we had no count of the lurkers. Why, I don't know. :o

So will we be troll-free? Anon-free? Oh, joy!

And let's not forget, there are probably tons of people who don't check in every day. I wonder if this board is going to be able to handle it.

I've been clicking refresh when I get 'server too busy', and it seems to work.

[Gwen in TX]

How many does it take to become a larvae?

[KristineIN]

If you look at other similar message boards it will tell you how many members there are and how many are active. I imagine after the initial beginning, the active number will drop. The Grocery Game has Members: 11,265, Active Members: 2,759 So see, there's a pretty big difference.

[PinkInTheBlue]

I never, ever, ever would have guessed there were that many of us!!

[gardenschooler]

I knew there were scads of us, but I still think there are more lurkers out there, somewhere....

[Melissa in FL]

It's over 1000 now, what a crowd of us. And to think there are over 100 of us on right this minute!
wow, just wow
