Wow...there are a thousand members at CoN now...this is probably a big deal to alot of you oldbies here at CoN and I'm sure the mods feel happy to have come up with such a good site as CoN...I just wanted to say congrats to you all for making such a great site.

Yeah. Here's to 'em. I give Josh a hard time, mostly cause I like nothing better than sticking it to authority, but this is still the best forum I've seen.

Hahaha so 1000 registered members ey? Maybe a small fraction out of that even bother to post, and even fewer of that have anything worth saying, but still, Congrats guys, I know these forums are a pain in the ass to maintain, but you've gotta be proud one way or another, seeing that you've come this far.

Lately, it seems like there has been an influx of new users. Quantity over Quality I'd say. Improve the quality of the noob, like maybe learning how to spell, or sticking to one language, or saying something actually useful would do wonders.

Ah well, I'm still glad to see the forums gain so many members. I remember when the number wasn't even half of 1000, and still only a fraction of that posted and played any role in this forum's society. Still, despite it all, this is probably the most organized forum around. Here's to the CoN.

1,000 members is pretty good for a niche SNES FF forum. Considering that a typical baseball stadium holds 40,000, we're a sad little group of people. laugh.gif Still, it's a good accomplishment considering the scope of the forums. Congrats.

Out of nothing more than curiousity, do banned users count towards that total?

I think so, but we're up to 1009 members now, and if we had more than nine banned members in the database, I would be surprised.

Hey, put the cellphone down for a while
In the night there is something wild
Can you hear it breathing?
And hey, put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I feel it, it's leaving me

On such an auspicious occasion, let me say thanks to all of you members who have made good contributions to the community. I know that's not all of you reading this, and it certainly doesn't add up to 1000. But each of you who post thoughtful and intelligent responses have my gratitude, even if you say things I don't agree with sometimes. smile.gif

I would go through and thank individual members too, but that would take forever. You people who have been posting here since 2001, thanks for staying around. You people who have joined more recently, here's hoping you have the staying power of our oldest members and staffers who have been here even longer.

Now, on that note, since we are growing in such ways, can we quit referring to this site as "niche" or "primarily FF6" or "dedicated only to the old games"? We're not really a niche anymore, and we're certainly not primarily FF6 anymore. Maybe FFT is a bit old now, too, but it IS PSX, for crying out loud. We just know good games when we see them. smile.gif

Sincere, hearty, and grand congratulations to the Caves of Narshe, to its founder, Mr. Josh Alvies, to the moderating team, and to all the members that have contributed over the years. The Caves of Narshe is still the forum that I post in most frequently, and I consider its quality and convenience to be the highest I've seen around the internet.
