Over the weekend, IceInSpace reached another exciting milestone - passing 6000 registered members!

It's been less than 12 months since we celebrated the 5000 members (in September 2008), and to be celebrating 6000 members already is a fantastic achievement and a testament to this great community of like-minded people.

In a different thread, someone asked "what's the prize for being the 6000th member?", and the response sums up the attitude and spirit of the IceInSpace Community:

"Their reward is a wealth of knowledge and the opportunity to get to know some extraordinary people."

While the number of members on its own doesn't really mean much in the big scheme of things, it's the fact that it continues to grow (and at an ever-expanding rate) that proves we're doing something right here.

Another 1000 members in less than 12 months shows that IceInSpace is the place to come to learn, to make friends, to get information, to buy and sell telescope equipment, to ask questions, to get feedback, to share images and to grow your interest in all things astronomy.

With our 5th birthday coming up in September, it's going to be a great year for achieving milestones.

Thanks to the IceInSpace community for making this site what it is. For your thoughts and discussion, visit this forum thread.
