It's currently 07:52 on Saturday morning, so we've not been "open" for quite 2 weeks yet ... but the situation after almost-2-weeks is that we have ...
(imagine a drum roll of your choice here)
.... 485 users, who have posted ....
.... 13,243 comments, from
.... 366,767 page views.
There have also been 116 attempted spam merchants who have tried to sign up, but I think we've managed to shoot most (if not all) of those at the gates. Long may that continue.
Actually, all of the stats are as of midnight last night, so by the time we're actually 2 weeks old, the numbers will be a little bit higher still.
Ladies and gentlemen ... we have ourselves a successful forum. Long may it continue.

The mobile version where I do most of my viewing is just brilliant.
Thank you to the whole team who put this thing together and made it look so bloody good
I think MR is dead in the water now even if it did re-appear. I see no reason for any of us to return

Good, valid question and a generous offer - thanks Ash.
To date, I think the majority of membership has come from MR, via TEmpFab's place. Probably 80%+. Some of those will be people who'd faded away from MR in recent months, but have been tempted back by the new-ness of theFB.
We wanted to make sure that this place "worked" before really pushing it for new members, that we had enough server space, that performance was OK, etc. I think we've cleared those hurdles now.
So we can start to think about where to find new members. We have FB & Twitter feeds going now - though those will take time to build a critical mass. We want to avoid taking advertising, but we might offer some "deal of the week" promotions from retailers who gives us a prominent plug on their www sites.
All ideas for raising profile/awareness of theFB and getting a regular stream of new members are welcomed ...

I think there's a "critical mass" here now that can only grow and grow as word spreads.
