When did DU reach 100,000 members? Wasn't it not too long ago?

Now there are 161,000. Or is my memory failing me?

3. When did the DU 'odomoter' reach 100,000?

It seems like it was not that long ago. I'm just trying to gauge how fast we are growing, now that there are 161K+ members.

6. Well, it was a few years go but I think that 62,000 new

registrations in 3.75 years is pretty good. Not that they are all active by any means but it is still an impressive gain.

DU is a large board. There are 302 message boards that are bigger but we do okay:

9. WOW! I LOVE that list! So many...well... interesting

topics and so many DORKY ones, too!

I noticed that our friend Free Republic is not listed. Wonder why?

10. They may be blocking the bots that scour the web for these things

I can't say for sure. I do know that it's possible to set "no follow" commands in meta tags n stuff.
