*Hear, hear.  Too bad we can't have a potluck dinner in celebration tomorrow.

Re: 30,000th post! - Yihaa!

It's a great achievement, reaching 30k posts - let's hope we get to 50k soon!

As for me, I backed up the database tonight to celebrate, and did some spring cleaning of the website (deleted 100MB of junk mail and two years worth of log files). What fun! :band:

I'd like to send a BIG "reverse thanks" to those who've PM'd me about various forum things (spammers, broken threads, etc), it's been really helpful for me.
