IceInSpace has passed another milestone overnight - reaching 7000 members!
What a great way to start 2010.
The last 1000 members has come in only just over 7 months - a fantastic rate of growth and shows that astronomy is alive and kicking and still growing strong.
It also shows that IceInSpace continues to be a great source of information and knowledge sharing - an attribute that only comes through its members sharing their expertise, helping each other, and making this place what it is today.
So thanks to the IceInSpace community for your contributions, your friendships, your questions, your answers, your images and everything that has helped make IceInSpace the largest and most active astronomy site in the Southern Hemisphere, and one of the premier astronomy sites in the world.
I think it is so popular because it is such a great knowledge base and everybody is willing to share, no matter how ignorant new folk are when they start.
