We broke the 2,000 member mark last night. We aren't even on the radar as far as size goes with the other knife forums and that is fine. It's not just about size.
We have a pretty good bunch here and we haven't had that many growing pains. There are going to be differences of opinions and the occasional flare up but that is normal and to be expected. It's how they are handled and reacted to that is important.
We remain committed to being professional, friendly, "G" rated and focused exclusively on the knife industry.
As we grow there will be an increasing call for diversity of other interest forums. I may be painting myself in a corner here but we are going to keep it to just knife related forums if you don't mind.
We have already paid for the next vbulletin version upgrade which has been released. We are waiting on 2 plug in's (extra programs) to be upgraded to the new 4.0 version and then we will upgrade the software. Hopefully it won't be too painful.
We are in Knives Illustrated and Blade Magazine and soon to be Knifeworld (if I can manage to make the time). We will continue to advertise to build our base membership with more quality members.
We will have a booth at Blade Show this year along with 3 or 4 others in one big dog pound.
Not bad since our Sept 1 opening.
We are in this together.
Thanks and have a great new year KnifeDogs..
