Great work by all the management team, admin team, and forum contributors. I consider myself very lucky to have 'discovered' Ford forums.

Thanks all

That is an INSANE amount of posts, do any of the mods/admins have an idea of how many active (as in multiple posts, logging in within a certain period of time) members there are right now? I'm sure that would make the figures even more impressive.

“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

Wow ... the forum has come a long way in the last 5 years.
It's gone so quick ... God knows what has happened in that time ... it has been a blur.
And to think I wasn't actually here from the start either.

Would have to be the best forum I have been a part of ... it's a great community.

Thanks to everyone for putting in a great effort.
I know I have slacked off a bit since the little one was born ... but I think I could get my Number 2 spot back on the post count list again ... One Day.

Guys,
I have only been on the forum for a short time, and in that time I have been able to express an opinion on things car related or otherwise, asked a few car related questions and got great feedback and advice, unloaded on topics that probably don't have much to do with Fords, or in fact, cars at all; and got into a few discussions that probably would have got me in trouble at the pub!! Great site guys ,and to the people who put in the time and effort, congratulations on a job well done.The administrators and mods should be well proud.
