    Just about 3000 days into the ww2f experience and Otto now has 6,000 members. I hope this has been worth it to you, Otto, because it is certainly a wonderful thing from my perspective. I hope you can keep this up for at least another half century!

    Bravo!

    That's a good reason to commemorate. That and the fact that at this time zone it's 8am and there are 149 people online. Not bad, early birdies :)

    Correct, since we are congrulations each other all the time, the least we could do it to have a little thought for Otto without whom we wouldn't even know each other. Thank you Otto!

    Good on you mate, thank you for this forum where we can discuss an area of our history, although some of us a separated by 1000's of kilometers of water or land, we all are united in our interest in ww2, since after all, we have all been effected by this part of history despite our colour or culture.

    So thank you Otto for giving us the opportunity to have this place to discuss.
    And thank you to all the other members who are the ones with all this wealth of information, the majority of whom, believe in references not just "because I say so"

    Great to see how this all has evolved into this huge friendly community even if there have been some less nice persons around ( but only for some pretty short periods ).

    Congrats Otto and Long live the Forums!

    Congratulations, Otto! This has been a tremendous undertaking which has evolved into an incredible resource of information. Personally, the Forum has been a wonderful place to learn and to share information as I discover it with people of like interest. It is a quality site and you have recruited quality people who help keep it so. I look forward to seeing its continued growth.

    Himself?

    Although, how about we start running this place more democratically? every time Otto wants to make a decision regarding the forum, he should run it past US first.

    :D
    Not really! I think he's doing a great job of this place on his own!
