Yes, today two years ago is when we opened for general business - with 116 posts. Our record number of posts in one day was - would you believe? - the Jubilee Bank Holiday Monday, with 624 (that river pageant, eh?). We're currently averaging roughly 350-450 pd, 10,000 pm.

It rained in London, here in Cornwall it was dry but breezy and cold for singing outdoor for a Charity gig. ff these boards are great for many things, not least for grumpy old men to share their views without having to stand a round! ... but also a mine of information - even if some of it is questionable!

[gradus]

Congrats and thanks to f f for all the work in running the thing and to my fellow boardees for providing companionship, entertainment and even erudition.

[kernelbogey]

it's a really great forum. Thanks to FF for what must be a huge amount of work.

I am really grateful for all the knowledge ,experience and love of music that other members are happy to share.

I second that from TS, and thanks also to Andrew and Mark. What a wonderful facility you've created.

Many thanks to FF and everyone on these Boards and here's to the next few years. I don't know what I'd do without my daily fix of FoR3.

Reading - and agreeing - with this comment, I thought 'Addiction' - then I thought 'We need a FoR3 Posters Anonymous'.... Then I realised we already have it...!

Seconded all these positive tributes. I dont pop up all that often because most of the topics are ones where I have nothing useful to say. But occasionally, eg Ash Dieback, I do have a tuppence worth to add. Long live the forum. A quote from Voltaire would be appropriate, except that I cant find it. But it goes something like this:

'Monsieur, I disagree with everything you say, and will defend to my death your right to say it.'

Science will die when that is no longer true.

A day late also...I'd like to add my thanks and best wishes to French Frank for setting up this forum and keeping us all in good order. I very much enjoy being a long-distance member of this forum. Best wishes, marthe

Also remembering Chris Newman

Congrats to all!

Two years. It’s a long time if you think about it!

And even if you don’t think about it it’s a long time!
