Todd, speak for yourself! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> (I'm not green)! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I am speaking for myself! My wife tells me I even walk like Shrek! I get made fun of all the time by her and my daughter. That's even my nickname around the house LOL

Hahahahaha. TODD, the man formarly known as Shrek! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ok today being MY Friday brings about the last update until Wednesday morning. Hope you don't suffer withdrawls TO bad.

Ok the ZDC page count is now at page 748, up from 740 yesterday morning for a net increase of 8 pages! Not to shabby, especially as of late!

I reckon that I have gotten into the habit of putting up some information that is almost self explanitory. Ok here's the change. The OUTDOOR and FIELDCRAFT section of the site is now setting at 19,463 posts. But Stated another way, the KNIVES forum side is now a 435,985 posts. BIG difference huh? Anyway that is the numbers from the Main Index page as of this post.

The TOTAL post count for the entire website is now at 459,851 posts, up from 459,623 just yesterday morning for an increase of 228 posts. That's starting to look more like the way it used to be.

Ok, now if we take this number from our Grail Quest we come up with 40,149 more posts to go. Man, just think of how far we have came in the last year!

It seems to me like it WAS just last year that we were celebrating 300,000 posts. We are Human, watch us acheive GREATNESS!

Just as an interesting bit of history (you listening SUMO). The FIRST post of 2010 was made by Banana-clip. It was post number 358,264 and look at us now, less than 12 months later, 101,587 more posts. AMAZING, considering the small ammount of members we have. The Yard DOES have reason to be proud, both for the knives we love and the accomplishment we have made.

Randy, you forgot to mention that the Yard can be proud of its members. We have some really great folks here, not to mention Dan and company! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thought I had that covered in the last sentence.

Long Live the Brotherhood of the Yard............

Amen to that too!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

we may be mortal, but let's hope that the yard will be immortal

There ya' go! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

We've had a LOT of good responses to this thread. Let's hope that "the Brotherhood of the yard" will continue long into another generation, and beyond!


Ok, here we go. My last update was Sunday Morning and I was lacking in my information and I apologize for that omission.

First off, we had two dogs that blasted their way into the 18K realm this past week. Hats off to the LEADER OF THE PACK, PRIVATE KLINK! Congrats to you Tom, for this milestone in your own life and the life of the yard. I also went into the 18K arena. Everyone Please congratulate Tom on his Accomplishment! He is not only the FIRST JYD, but the FIRST to bust into this huge accomplishment!

Ok another historic moment. Dan has announced on the 14th that the Scrapivore LE is no longer available for order on the site. There has been such an influx of orders that he said it will take 6-8 weeks before they can start shipping the orders out. CONGRATS ON ANOTHER SUCCESS DAN!

Ok, the ZDC page count is now at 770 pages, up from 748 pages Sunday morning for an increase of 22 pages. Pretty good increase!

The outdoors and fieldcraft section has gone from 19,463 posts to 19,495 for an increase of 32 posts. Actually that is about average for that side of the site.

The Knives forum side has gone from 435,985 up to 436,574.

Ok the TOTAL site post count has gone from Sundays count of 459,851 to 460,473! YES, we have gotten ourselves into another another entire range. The 460+k range now has us at less than 39K to our goal.

Ok if we take 460,473 from our goal of 500,000 that leaves us with 39,527 posts to to before we get to the coveted FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND POSTS! Man, what a ride it has been!

And we're just getting warmed up! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
