Way to go Playmofriends!

Perhaps we could send Sylvia a klicky each  ;D She'll be inundated   >:D :love:

Anyway - good of you to notice, Cachalotte. Or should I say, Mr. Holmes as nothing seems to pass you unnoticed  ;)

I noticed that this morning too! :D

I have to say I'm quite surprised at the recent upsurge in new registrations. Before Christmas the rate was about 2 or 3 per week. In the last few weeks it has risen sharply. Now I'm getting that many requests to join almost every day. (Sadly, not all of these people complete the process by sending the membership payment.)

Hmmm. I wonder if someone has posted a link to us recently on a website with high traffic. :eh?:

Or maybe 2009 has been designated the year for "Reclaiming One's Youth Through Playmobil?" ;D

Congratulations to Playmofriends and much gratitude, affection, and acclaim for Sylvia, our fearless leader!  :wow:

There is a special feeling of excitement in the air right now with so much interest in and discusion of Playmobil's new releases, and of course we are all waiting with great interest (and checking in often) to see what news there is of Collectobil.  It is really great to see so much activity on Playmofriends!   :)

I think this is because one of the members has put his account into "unactivated" status by changing the e-mail address on his profile.

He needs to click on a link sent to the new email address in order to reactivate the account. Then he should reappear in the member list and put the total back up to 200.

Hopefully he didn't make an error in his new e-mail address...

Thank you for the congratulations! I think that it is the community spirit here that is responsible for this forum becoming a success, much more than anything else. ;)

It's very satisfying to see the forum grow and flourish as it has done.  :)

Cheers to all of you! :**:

Hey gus I hate to bust anybody's bubble, but we may have 200 members on paper, but only like 15 of us ever post....    :'(

Then that's a great result, Timotheos.
I remember that even on Playmoboard that had a tenfold of members there were about 15 - 20 members actively posting.
So, this isn't a bad result - not bad at all!
It shows the commitment of the members of this forum  ;) :wow:

201.  ;D

Don't worry, I'm not going to post each time we add another member. :lol:

Every forum has members who don't post, but I like to think they still get enjoyment and inspiration from checking out other people's creations. If we encourage them enough and keep the overall atmosphere positive, maybe some of them will eventually lose their shyness. ;)

That was me, I wanted to replace my work email with my private email - I had no idea this would deactivate my account temporarily!

Hey guys I hate to bust anybody's bubble, but we may have 200 members on paper, but only like 15 of us ever post....    :'(

Joking guys...

Can we talk about cute little kittens?  You might offend somebody by suggesting you are in some way objectifying membership... turning flesh and blood human beings who live, breath, love, and die into numbers.

Actually... actually... this entire thread is mortifying and de-humanizing!  oh my gosh--oh my gosh!  It's just like Soylent Green... we're just... we're just... statistics, being ticked off like a philanderer's conquests...

Please, please, can we change the topic to something wonderful and positive?

I love everybody!  You are not numbers!  Oh my gosh!

I'm sorry if our niceness offends your blackened heart, Tim.

Maybe it's time you found a more "cutting edge" forum? There's obviously not enough fellow cynics here for you to feel comfortable.

202!


What the heck... maybe I will keep doing this. I'm starting to have fun keeping a tally now. ;D

Welcome to the forum, Jan! :wave:

Now all we need is for the other 8 people who are still pending to pay their membership fees. :crossed: ;)


That was me, I wanted to replace my work email with my private email - I had no idea this would deactivate my account temporarily!

No, it wasn't you! I re-activated you myself in the control panel when I noticed you'd gone unactivated too.  ;D :lol:

I've written to the member concerned (using 3 different email addresses to cover all bases) but haven't had a reply as yet. Perhaps they are away on business or holiday.

two things came into my mind after reading a couple (meaning a pair) of replies posted on this thread:  :yup:
- a saying widely used in portugal - very few but very good  (poucos mas bons).
- my personal motto - those who don't love us don't deserve us  (quem não nos quer não nos merece).
if you want to keep track on ALL the new members arriving, you have my full support, sylvia (not that you need it)  :wow:

Just wondering where we're at now, number wise??

I'm curious--was Timotheos kidding?  Surely everyone knows that we're not just numbers, yet that counting us as a number is sometimes necessary?  (And in some circles, we ARE just a number, though I don't think that's the case here!)  I'm afraid that, being new to using forums, I may not always recognize when something is said tongue in cheek!

It seems a lot of new members haven't introduced themselves in the Welcome section.

New members, we'd love to meet you.   :wave:
