Hooray! 6001 users for 3 years? So that'll be an average 2k members a year. Not bad not bad. Congratulations!

Certainly something to celebrate!!
I think numbers like that are splendid, but whenever I look at stuff like that, I always glance over at the ' Front Gate' tally and am always somewhat befuddled at the fact that Base visitors almost always outnumber the amount of Enlisted Personnel.....right now the number stands at 58 vs. 40......as friendly and supportive as this place truly is, I'm not sure what we have to do to coax the fine people who have chosen to spend their time hanging around here, but not enlisting??..............any suggestions?

Including myself, I recruited on other which mean that I am responsible for 0.10% (one tenth or one percent) of the annual average enrollment!!

It's difficult to make people to join when you don't want to!
Same thing happens with our "real modeling club" AMA - Almada's Modeling Association, here in Portugal.
We have a annual expo for 3 days (friday to sunday) and usually we have 2K visitors - interested!
They ask questions, see the models, make comments, ask where is our headquarters, because they are "thinking of becoming members" ....
It seems like they are affraid to commit and be judged!
One thing that I remember was the first time that one of my models was displayed on a modelshop window!
I was so affraid of the feedbacks...
No one is born a full model master and you have to learn step by step, right? Perhaps there are visitors who are affraid to show the limited skill - just because they are still in the learning process and are to "stiff" to admit that
So...in Modeling "real life" and in "virtual life" the same problem happens again and again!
But then, here we have a lot of excellent modelers (all ages, genders, skills and themes ) and I am proud to be part of it!!

We rock!! I wish I would have come hear a couple of years ago. I spend a lot of time on the RPF (Replica Props Forum) So I have kind of had tunnel vision. Sure am glad I am here now though!

Hi there
Well, I missed the party thanks to work but there's already been another 20 new members since the yesterday's announcement!
If we keep this up, we should be on target to more than double our membership again by this time next year... 20 x 365 = 7300...
Keep spreading the word.
All the best
Rowan
