You've probably already noticed the little counter on the bottom of the forums homepage now starts with a one, as in 1,000,000+. Looking back to this time last year we had just over 500,000 posts... in one year we have nearly doubled in size. Talk about amazing. Thank you moderators for your work and thank you members for well, being yourselves. Now, who wants to try for 2,000,000 next March (ok, ok, how about just 1.5mil with the same great quality). :beerchug:

I am beyond impressed that you managed around 7,000 posts in one year.
That's almost 20 posts a day, dude.
You are my hero.

He has a lower dives/post ratio than either you or i.
Glad we finally made it to 1M, took its time though.

Of course, like 50 or these posts (and what, three or 4 threads) are congratulating ourselves for getting to a million.
Friggen post padders, all.

That's awesome, but how many dives have been done in that time?
Seriously, what's more important? The number of posts one does or number of dives?
I vote for dives... diving into water, diving into bed, diving into the keyboard? wait...no....only water counts!

It's oiur belief that SB should be the place you come to after the dives, before the dives or between the dives. Our motto is "get out and dive but you can't stay underwater forever..." not yet at least.

say.... how come you're posting and not diving?
:33:
alas, if i could dive every day, i would... but no chance =(
i can only speak for myself, but the friends and information i've found here
make what dives i do all the much better.
this board has made me 100% a better diver than i was a year ago, and it can
only get better (of course... when you consider my starting point.... ;) )

Well, I am on spring break, but not from college. I teach High School science, but diving is my passion. Diving in water is preferred, but diving into a yummy creamy cup of Cold Stone Ice Cream is a close second. Diving into...well, that's another board, isn't it? *batting eyelashes*

I have to agree. Especially since I live in a location where most divers only dive on vacation. No drysuits, no bp/w's, etc. I've learned a lot from divers all over the world here...and hope to keep learning more.
Thanks everyone!

i drank a lot of tequila and looked in the mirror the next morning, and it looked
vaguely like that thing (i'd forgotten to remove the stage make-up, and no
one told me about it)
