Wow now we're starting to push the envelope! Hope there were some actual members and not just us team members. But I'll take it! Looks like 500 is the next step!

I thought TCC Team members were also actual members.

Jeez Bob you have to give away all the trade secrets? I take it the family is down for the night?

I take it the family is down for the night?

Our 3-year-old son fell asleep on the ride back from the sleigh ride and should be out until the morning. My wife is currently playing video games and listening to the jukebox.

And I'm flying...

We've also added 32 new members so far this month!  However, we've got to add alot more still to beat November.

Ok, we're up to 43 new members this month! Keep spreading the word!

We'd love to reach 800+ members this month! So far, we've added 45 new members in December which means we need to add another 68 in the last 2+ weeks.

If you like what you see here, why not take a moment and let another collector know about the site?

Thanks for the answer--seems like we need to move around clicking and reading alot!!! By the statement reading this would increase standing/ratings; correct? JP

The ranking is certainly based on activity. However, many visitors viewing a number of pages will help more than a few members viewing lots of pages.

By the way, as your ranking gets closer and closer to 1, it gets harder and harder for it to go up.

Just wanted to share a couple of things...

With about 12.5 days to go in December, we've already had 24 completed transactions this month (2 more than the total for November) and have already had over 5200 posts (only a few hundred less than the total for November)!

We've also now added 64 new members this month! However, we need to add 58 more in order to beat the number from November. Please help spread the word about the site and all of the new features!

-Bob

[bob_TCC]

We've now added 77 new members this month! However, we need to add 45 more in order to beat the number from November. Please help spread the word about the site and all of the new features!

[bob_TCC]

We've now added 90 new members this month! However, we need to add 32 more in order to beat the number from November. In addition, that number would also move TCC in front of RST based on the total number of members.

Please help spread the word about the site! Let's finish 2005 on a great note!

-Bob

[bob_TCC]

Well, we just reached 28,500 posts and are approaching 7500 in December alone!
