You can also check out the ID of your favourite posters (contender443 As for the active members, it's a little more of a mystery... This morning, both contender443 and I were on the forum, yet the active members list only mentioned 1 name! His on his laptop, and my name on my PC... Odd... Still, it didn't stop us posting

I forgot to look at what date I joined - both those profiles are mine and are the first two - so I guess 11th March is the forum's first birthday. Incidently the website is nearing its 10th birthday.
