The achievement should not be understated, if you do the math, you will see that not only is the forum significant in terms of astronomy, it is up there with the best in any field (outside the illegal ones).
Also a personal observation, using the 80/20 rule which states (loosely), that 20% of your customers (members) will be active as compared to the 80% that are relatively inactive, it means that on a very regular basis several hundred people are brought together and actually participate. On the Net you can get 'Numbers', but to get participants, that by and large all get on so well together, is something almost unique (IMHO).
Congratulations, forums don't run themselves (even if the code seems to), enjoy the honest well wishes from the members.
