Great forum. I've gone from being a wannabe to a very knowledgeable wannabe since joining hehe. Thanks to everyone for their contributions which all go to make this the best travel forum on the web.

barina · Guru

I second, third etc all the congratulations. I have found this forum, extremely informative and helpful and it has given me the confidence to do something I have never done. Camp away from home although just little trips I am constantly dreaming of the bigger ones.

Thanks to all.

sarg · Guru

I too heartily concur with everyone's thanks and congratulations to Cindy and all the members on this forum.

I have recommended it to many people and am proud to be a Grey Nomad.

Happywanderer · The Master

If it wasn't for this forum, there are a lot of us who would not be doing what we are right now. Thank you Cindy.

I have to say thank you to all my friends I have met since joining, you have all made my world.

As I travel around Australia with this group, Jules and Billeeee, Solo Steve, msg, and Ame25, I am having the most wonderful time.

I am so glad we had Greens Lake to get us together in the beginning and set our course for an incredible lifestyle.

Mega thanks to Cindy for providing the opportunity to mingle with and learn from so many great members. Already met one (Sheba) and I haven't even left the back yard yet! Looking forward to finally hitting the road and meeting more of you in person.

Happy and safe travels to all.

Thank you for a great site, Cindy - have met some amazing people on here -especially one whom I love dearly - and others that I consider to be my very, very good friends.

A very big "pat on the back" to you for persevering with us "nutters"!!!!!!

Hi Cindy, it has been a few weeks since being online (house-sitting etc) and now I find the gang has breached the 8000 mark top stuff and congratulations to you and yours.
We are heading off on Monday after spending 4 weeks at Coominya tending to 12 miniature horses, 4 ankle-biting doggies, a few colourful parrots and one noisy rooster.
Their parents went the Florida for a month - back on Sunday.
Travelling to Adelaide for another house sit in mid June via Cairns, Mt Isa and Uluru.
cheers

Ahh - about to play the devils advocate here .... again!! When I looked at the members listing - all xxx hundred pages of it, I noted that included in the 8000 members are lots that have been members since day one but not posted at all or only a couple of times int he early days of their membership. Would it not be more realistic to exclude members that have not posted for so many years, for example, a member who joined in (for example) 2006 and posted once in 2006 and never since ...... should he be included in stats? Granted, some of these may just be lurkers - members and non members, but some may no longer travel or may have lost interest but not thought to cancel their account.

Notwithstanding the above, this forum serves a purpose and provides much needed information and a type of camaraderie that has become reflective of our generation of travelers! Has that redeemed me??????

Well done Cindy!
