Pretty cool. Thanks for a great forum Manny, for keeping its functionality up-to-date, and all the rest of you who make such great contributions. I hope to meet more of you in the months ahead in person.

My pleasure Greg and Stick community!

1500 members is a realistic number since a couple times a week I check out the newly subscribed user's IP address to see if it's a spammer located in China, India, Pakistan, Russia, etc., then the account gets IP blocked and deleted from the site. And of course, there's lots of good folks here who report spam (forum feature) if one gets through, and those accounts get the "Easy Button" and nuked. I figure Stickists here aren't interested in ads/links to designer handbags, couches, etc.

And of course, a big thank you to those who have donated and continue to donate $$ to the site. 100% of all donations goes towards the site's hosting service and maintenance, and keeping this site totally commercial ad/banner-ad free.

This is YOUR community and the high quality forums have been shaped by you! I believe in freedom of speech/expression and diverse/heated/controversial opinions, and rarely moderate a topic when I believe a highly heated topic has "run its course."

Thank you Stickists for making this a truly fantastic community here.

OK - to push someone to sign up! and make 1500.

I will send (no cost) the "1500 member" one of my 4 CD's or an MP3 download of "Vocal Eyes" (your choice)

Manny you will have to tell me who it is.

Cliff
