I think we're over 1500 members to stay, and closing in on 30,000 posts!

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Now the Forum is over 47,000 posts and over 1800 members. Pretty darn impressive.

 

[mjp]

And now 3,000 threads. It is impressive for the relatively small user base that we have.

I thought I knew a lot about Bukowski when this started. But I've learned more about him and his work in 2 1/2 years here than I did in the 15+ years of reading him in the dark, scary pre-forum world. ;)

You Are family!

 

[hoochmonkey9]

ditto all that.

 

[Bukfan]

I'll second that! This has been, and still is, a great adventure into the world of Buk!

Buknet rules!

 

[planahea]

Please, let's stop all the praise for buknet or mjp may institute monthly dues or at least a user fee. HELP KEEP BUKNET FEE NEUTRAL!

[Hosh]

Simply put, the fact that academe has poo-pooed Bukowski's work for so long means that the folks on this forum are the world's foremost scholars on all things Bukowski...

That's what I think anyways--& it's precisely what drew me here...the chance to learn from all you drunken, cheap-jack professors! Honestly, I'm amazed by the collective knowledge & info here--thanks to you all for sharing, & I look forward to learning more.

...and you have over 5000 posts. That's like a novel. Yes, you have some very entertaining stuff in that.

 

[mjp]

I tried to slow down to let one of you fuckers catch up before I got to 5000, but it didn't work.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

In that form fuckers would be a term of endearment. ;)

 

[mjp]

In that context it is, of course.

Most users ever online was 189, 11-02-2008 at 12:48 PM.

Just out of curiosity ... what was going on 11-02-08 that attracted 189 people?

 

[mjp]

We were giving away a car.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

yup.

a Prius.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

We were giving away a car.

A '67 volks, perchance? Or perhaps a '62 Mercury Comet?

 

[Gerard K H Love]

No. I won it and it's a 1984 Plymouth Reliant K-car 4-door automatic and air.

Oh! I forgot the beautiful Brown vinyl top.

 

[mjp]

And she is a beauty!

 

[Billville]

Wow, she is a beauty. Did she come with an eight-track player?

 

[mjp]

No. Just the stock AM radio and half a tank of twenty year old gas. What else do you need, really?

 

[hoochmonkey9]

it's very pomo.

 

[hank solo]

I thought we'd rigged it so I could win?

Darn. Can I get the sticker back at least?

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Nice. Very nice.
The world has no need for radios in cars.
Whatever that means.

 

[mjp]

Oh my, that is very good work. A skillful and impressive wielding of photoshop or GIMP or whatever you used.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

...and all to stay on the good side of all the chicks on the forum who would have been offended by the alternative. Good job on that for sure.

 

[hank solo]

I was referring to the sticker we put on the car, not the one you sent me for xmas :D

(fixed your previous post)

 

[Gerard K H Love]

I for one am okay with being censored and I know I need it sometimes.

That's much better.

Now we are coming up on 60,000 posts and 2000 members. It's like a city in here.

In 3 short years.

 

[chronic]

2002 members. Let's party.

 

[mjp]

We're adding a consistent average of 60 users per month for the first six months of this year, so if that holds...

Well, 60 per month didn't hold, but it's been 47 users a month overall. Meaning we're over 6,000 now (just noticed).

That works out to about 5,900 really quiet motherfuckers, and then the rest of you.
