*sheds a tear*

Our little community is growing by leaps and bounds these days.

Just a little reminder to all our members who are thrilled about the growth. Why not consider showing your appreciation for this fabulous site by making a donation? Help us raise $10,000 this spring. Hey, with 8,000 users, if everybody just sent in one dollar, that would help out sooooooo much! Please consider donating!

<We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming>

Wow. That's a lot of people. When I registered, it was less than 100 I think. It's been almost 2 years. I registered June 17, 2000. Wow. It's been a while. I was in the eight grade still. Crazy.

Any user actually can get as good an estimate as anyone else on that, Jess.

Just add up the total posts as shown on the front page and do the math with the total number of registered users.

Obviously, that doesn't account for the disparity between users who post once only and users who have posted regularly since the beginning, but it can give you a pretty easy average # of posts per user.

Most users here tend to come for one initial emergency or question, talk a wee bit more, then go away until they have another question, some have even done that spaining since 2000. I would certainly say half of the otal do NOT post everyday: honestly, if they did we couldn't afford to run the boards anymore.

So, that's not a bad thing.

That may be true, but if you look at the current figure - over 100 000 people - that is a LOT of people that Miz S and her team have helped. We're talking 100 000 teens who would otherwise be (excuse the pun, given the site content!) groping around in the dark. And a high number of these would likely have an STD or pregnancy on their hands right now. So I think that little number up the top is a great tribute to the work the people at ST do.

10,000, actually. However, the boards are just one part of the site, and one that is not actively used by the majority of site visitors.

Around 5,000 people visit the whole site each day. That's neraly two million each year.

And thanks, Zanney.
