It would seem, if I read the line at the opening page right, that some 36 members ago the 1000 registered members milestone must have been passed ... congratulations to Rich and his team seem in order

Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.
In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:
1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.
2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).
3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).
4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”
5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.
Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.
Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.
1.036 K Members! (congratulations)

When I first found this site I could sit down and read every new post in about an hour. Now adays I'm doing good to make it through about a quarter of them. I just don't have the time to read them all!
Ain't that the way of it, get a good thing going and everybody wants to get in on the act.
Seriously though, Rich and the TFL staff have put together THE best firearms board on the internet. This is now the only board I visit.
Congratulations and well done!

Guys,
You warm my heart! I only put the member count up this afternoon when I realized we'd reached the 1,000 mark (less than 5 months).
I gotta tell ya'll though. About 700 members ago, I started agonizing that too many people might change the entire feel of the Board...to the negative. DC, Mykl, Rob, Gary and others convinced me that we should just "go for it" and see what happens. What's happened is truly gratifying.
We've done no advertising since November and have gained a rep as the "highbrow" firearms board on the Net. This is much to the credit of the best Moderator staff on the planet, but even moreso to you guys. People come here, check out the threads and are sucked in like gulls to a rotating 747!
Thank you all!

(ps: You new guys...I really didn't mean that crack about the gulls)
