Welcome to the 458th biggest board on the Internet!

I just found this site that aggregates data about the size of internet forums. Naturally, I had to hunt down "my" site on there!

Turns out good ol' TFP is number 458 out of the 1642 that they know about. They've got some neat graphs of post count and member count over time, too.

See http://www.big-boards.com/highlight/729/

458 is pretty good, but I'll bet we can do better. C'mon, folks! Put your back into it!

Neat. I have been looking for other message boards, but was afraid to ask. I like it here, I do, and I've clearly invested significant amounts of time and effort here, but it is nice to find other places too.

I like that the TFP is smaller. I was just perusing offtopic.com and they had 1008 people viewing one thread. That's too big for me. Too busy. I like the closeness and the comfort of this thread. I like that you get to be known and you're not just a number.

So in short, while now I have access to other message boards that I did not know I had prior to this thread, I'm staying put here at the TFP...

...that is, unless you'd rather I left.

I consider places like TFP a different type of forum than those much larger ones (better too or I wouldn't be here) with the big ones it's just not the same. No one cares about each other, and rarely is there much good info to post ratio. It's mostly just mindless chatter that doesn't serve much purpose. Kind of like anarchy or high school

That is 458 by posts, by members the ranking goes up a few notches. Sorted by posts last week, the tfp gives up quite a bit of ground though. Interesting though to see what types of boards are out there and how they "rank".

Not only have we made some great internet friends, but we've even turned some of them into real life friends.

This is an awesome place. It doesn't matter where it ranks on a tracker site. It's always going to rank 1st with me.

This is a great place and my homepage. I have been to other forums and MBs and none are as accepting of opinions and views and as respectful of others as I find here.

I've said it before we have truly the best people on the internet here. Hal created something truly great and unique here.

I think a great deal of the credit goes to some of the moderators here. There are things that go on on many boards that don't happen here due to their efforts. Not only that but most of them also contribute to the discussions rather than simply edit and close posts.

Yeah, it's hard to make fun of all the sappy when we know it's truth. I'm spending almost an hour a day on this board and I don't know what I was doing with that time before I found TFP, but I'm sure it wasn't as fun or stimulating.

Awww... eye lub ewe guys!

Don't get me wrong, Hal created this, but the people, mods, and posters have made this IMHO the best forum on the internet.

The mods do contribute and very rarely do I even look at them as such. (Except when in trouble for something I did in Politics.... ).

I get the sense many came here just to look at the TB and stayed to become truly great posters.

So we owe our thanks to Hal for creating this community, but it wouldn't be a great community without the truly awesome people.

458. Dare to be average.



This place is better than coffee, it is like. . .

Its like waking up on your day off and realizing that you don't have anywhere to be, and all of your chores are done. The sun is shining into the window and directly on your body, but not yours eyes so you don't have to squint. You smell the coffee downstairs with its automatic timer, but you are too warm and comfortable to get up yet.

You turn over to find your true love sleeping like an angel next to you, and they have the smallest smile on their lips, so you know they are having a good dream. Your pet is by your side, and feeling you awake makes them come over and do the morning routine, whether it is a quick tummy rub or a lick on the cheek.

You turn on the television, and find that movie that you love is playing, and it is about 3 minutes before the part you like the best. Enough time to pour that cup of coffe that smells so good, and to let the pet outside and go to the bathroom yourself.

You go back to bed and your true love is just waking up. They offer a morning love-making session; you hop in the shower after, and find the perfect temperature for the water on the first turn of the knob. Stepping out and feeling fresh, you get into your favorite lounge pants and sweater.

That's what the TFP is like. To me, anyway.

I think you'll find we try very, very hard at the TFP to maintain a quality of community unrivaled elsewhere.

TFP is my second home
