TRF Growth

I was member #1,315 when I joined in 2006. Now, about 5 years later, we're close to 66,000 members. Amazing!


P.S. For newer members, place your cursor over anybody's username and their member number will show up at the lower left of your monitor.

What I love with TRF is how often posts are being made.

Threads that are interesting becomes interesting from the posts and how fast information is accumulated.

For example, another forum that I visit daily, a question Thread might have to be bumped several times, even for the first post to it... It isn't exactly great.

Over here... Not many minutes before you start getting posts.

Also another great thing here is the camaraderie! It's a friendly forum, without any childish behavior.

I'm just realitive newby, but this is definitely a great place to visit.


It's the people that make it so. Outstanding group all.

It would help a bit if Paul would get rid of his pimple though.

Same for me - definitely lightening fast answers to questions...


On the subject of the pimple I think it's even money on who goes first: paul getting rid of the pimple or the pimple getting rid of Paul...then rising up to take over the World.

#62043 here! I only subscribed less than three months ago! This is incredible!

However I think we must be careful with that because we had our share of trolls around here, their accounts still have numbers even if they've been banned if I'm right...

I'm on coin forums, "things we're not allowed to talk about here" forums, travel forums, etc. THIS, by far, is the best run and full of the best people anywhere.

Simply outstanding.

So I was in on the ground floor (assuming the first 30,000 members of the community are still on the ground floor). This is the most dangerous website out there (has cost me hundreds of lost hours and thousands of $ in purchases)... and loving it.

I don't know why, but this has never worked for me and it's really frustrating.

I don't see any number appear at the lower left of my screen and I wonder if it could possibly be because I'm using a Mac instead of a PC?
