As early site members know, I use to love passing mile-stones. Now they come and go without much fan-fare. But I thought that this one deserved a bit of a celebration. It has been just a bit over 2 1/2 years since this sites inception. And in that time it has been my pleasure to manage and run the site. Of course I have not done this alone. I would like to thank everyone who has helped out and continues to do so. This site is truly a "team effort".

For all those "new" members, I would like to welcome you aboard. Sure things are not quite as "cozy" as the early days. But I like to think we are still open to hearing from everyone about what they like about the site, what they would like to see, and what they don't like.

So fire away gang. It's your party.

Big cheers,
Jim

5000 members wow congrats Jim Thanks for all your hard work in making this possible

All i can say is time Flies when you are having fun!! It only gets better.

Wow already 5000 members
I wonder who is member no.5000?

Congradulations Jim, for creating the best and biggest modeling site on the globe!

Well his user ID is 5032, but "knight" is member #5000.

There have been a number of test memberships or mistakes and those account for the other 30 or so numbers.

Jim

to the other 4999 members !!!!

LOL :-) :-)

Congratulations to Jim, the old salts, and the new guys and girls. I was hoping I was number 5000, so I could make a case for meritorious PFC, since my sleeve is bare. What I like about this site best is nobody makes you feel like you have to "pay your dues", so to speak. There is a warm, friendly, helpful feel here that reflects good, sound leadership with tact. Thank you for expanding my hobby, Armarama is a blessing to me! Feel like I've been here much longer than three weeks or so.

Congratulations Jim!! I believe your site is a success by all standards. I'm an honored to be a part of it.
Ciao for now
Rob

Great milestone to reach - and well worth a celebratory beer or two

Nice one Jim!

When you started Armorama, you really created something very special!

All the best

It's the great work that you have done on this site, Jim, that has gotten all of the folks here together and wanting to stay. (Are you serving breakfast in the morning??????)
Let's hope that the site keeps going at the rate that it has had and becomes the ultimate site on the net!

Last night I was checking again the Military In Scale May 2003 issue and it had an article about Armorama telling 2157 registered users at the time of writing.
see we are growing fast.

Just two beers?...


5000 beers!!!!!!!

Congrats Staff_jim for making this site a wonderful and active one!

You beat me to it Jim. I've been keeping my eye on the total for the past few days now.

I fondly remember when we reached our first thousand.
Here's to all of you! ...and to the next 5000!

To all of us here!!!

I just wanted say CONGRATS to everyone involved in running this website. In my personal opinion, this is the best modelling website on the web. It has something for everyone, all the different catogories and if you have questions there are plenty of people to help you out. THANKS again for everyones hard work , you should feel a great sense of pride in what you have provided to the modelling community, I visit this site everyday and will continue to do so, Wingman out.

Just checked out the cyber bar....its a bit of a squeeze in there, but the beers are flowing.
Maybe we'll need to add a few more rooms at this rate.

Cheers everyone and Jim and the backroom boys especially.

Joining Armorama was the best thing I've done in a lo-----------------------ng while.

Whow 5000 pals.

Cheers
Peter

Cool, does this count the banned or cancelled members or just any registered member?

Proud to be registered member #9.

Congrats Jim.
Its a pleasure to belong to this site and feel part of it. I always enjoy my time here, and long may it last! Heres to the next 5000

Congratulations to Armorama from member #2982! (Boy, even I remember when we hit 4000! Thanks for all the time and effort you guys put into this site.

Rob,
Yeah they are in there. But I think we only have 10 or less banned user accounts. That's not too bad really.

Jim
