How many members?

Yes, I know, I'm wonderful <preens>

. Seriously though this Forum has such a lot going for it. Absolute novices come on asking questions that have been asked many times before yet we never lose patience and the answers needed are provided. Likewise unusual situations come up and someone always comes up with answers. We cover soft fruit, vegetables of all kinds, flowers, shrubs, trees, lawns, paths, fences, greenhouses, bees, poultry and more. There is a huge archive of previously asked questions with all the answers provided and also on the website there is an A - Z growing guide How To Grow Vegetables & Fruit | Growing Guides & Tips | Grow Your Own Magazine which can be found following that link.

The Forums are very well looked after by the Moderators who keep us clear of all sorts of spam and online pests.

Ten out of ten from me

I'd say that a very high percentage of those aren't active and in many cases never were. I remember looking once and there was a phenomenal number of people who had signed up but never posted so not really members as such. Would be interesting to know how many people log on at least once a month, even if they don't post. Clearly thus would be far lower than 60,000.

That's the bit I have least interest in, it's the gardening stuff I come for

The thought of 60,000 active members, all posting at once, gives me the eebyjeebies

Imagine trying to moderate that lot

Thank goodness for lurkers etc etc.

60,000! Well done, Team GYO. Thank you for a great forum.

Alison..we have people who used to post years ago who still visit fairly regularly....you'd remember them well, but for some reason don't post!

Always puts a smile on my face when their names appear!

Sometimes I pm them to say how do , and get lovely replies.

...and if any of you are reading this....hi there!
