Number 1 - First Member

Nearly a month before the forum was officially launched we had our very first member! Joannaj joined on the 17th October, 2008, the official launch date of the forum was World Diabetes Day – 14th November 2008. After disappearing after her initial post, she returned again with a quick flurry of posts in April 2010 but hasn’t been heard from since then.

Since that very first member joined we have acquired well in excess of 3,000 members before the forum celebrates its second birthday. Some members have stayed in touch, posting regularly throughout. Some posted frequently for a while and then reduced their contact to the occasional visit, although I know that many still read on a weekly, if not daily basis.

In the first two years of the forum we have banned 70 members, the vast majority for posting inappropriate material or links. This is a tiny percentage of the total membership, and seems mostly to emanate from India, with a few Aussies who see our forum as the ideal place to market their drain clearing services!
