sorry everyone for sidetracking this thread with my illustrious fishing stories and adventures, but there was a comment made about me taking perry fishing for a weekend.....funny because perry doesn't fish.....so i had to poke fun on it.......
anyway, when this forum was started last december 2014, all of us admins and mods really worked hard to get it up and going, and spent a considerable amount of time doing so and reaching out to members we had known in the past to invite everyone here or 'announce' the new forum.
funny as it may sound, but the movie 'field of dreams' is probably true for us. "if you build it they will come"...........in my HO, i think the beeks that followed us, or came here initially followed because of the names and the 'reputation' of those they have known who put this forum together, and reached out to others..... and for those who continue to sign up here, are looking for the good things in life and keeping bees..... no bickering, no drama, good info/advise and some fun doing so.
all i am saying is 50,000 posts is probably more than anyone of us ever expected for a young forum, a little than a year old.....we have great leadership, but the members here also make this forum what it is and make it happen. for perry to make the 50,000 post, well, my veil is off to him.........spent a great deal of time and hours helping many members out here and then some and know he will continue to do so for the love of bees.........thanks perry!
WHOOO HAAAA!!!!................
