The total amount of messages sent is presently 39900 and counting. The total will be 40,000 in the near future. This is symbolic and is probably hinger since the count ran backwards at one point a couple of years ago. Nevertheless, this is quite an accomplishment and congratulations to Maggie for her initiative in starting this site wich we all enjoy.

thank you maggie
Thanks Guy for alerting us to this ,...I would say we surpassed that total many years ago,but unfortunately in out infancy we had to unload about 6 or 8 months woth of our history,because of a warning saying we were approaching our limit,.we didn't really understand the workings of MSN at that time,....so we did lose a lot of stuff,...We also have had over the years many more members ,but spybots & idiots were usually the the ones we had to lose too....We've tried to keep the site clear of most MSN or cyber space goofs,& we' feel generally pleased at today's outcome,......that's not to say we won't have to adjut some nuts in te future,but we are certainly happy &proud of the general populus & their participation.almost everyone has been quite mature,and have helped us stay in cyber-space for all these years: We've always Appreciated all those who choose to read,post or just generally visit us. We could have extremely large msg counts,but we chose to follow a theme basically related to Verdun Stuff & most of our members interest,Everyone has been great,.......the ones that weren't I'm sure are enjoying other sites that cater to their preferances. Again Thanks to Everyone ,.........for the Support HF&RV ps: We did opt to not install a 'hit counter' years ago,because it would have exposed all of our members information to outside sources,...We chose to respect all of your personal information as best we could. ................and We really do hope you all Have Fun & Remember Verdun
I am quite new to this site and very much appreciate the efforts of the founder(s) and supporters to screen and maintain a civil and fun platform for all.
When was the site inaugurated... date of the first message?
Verdun Connections was created on November 16, 2002.
One more to go to hit the 40,000 mark. Who will be the winner ? Maggie, does the winner get a prize ?. Guy
Thanks for making this site. I'm glad I found it. Discovered it by accident while searching for something else. Just wish I had found it sooner than this. Keep up the good work.
i remember i posted number 200 post years back, that was a big first step
Hi Looks like one our newest members hit the milestone... Congratulations.... Lad
Joan, Is your middle name Copeland and did you ever teach at VCH?
No sorry, my middle name is Christine, and I was a student at VCH during 79-80 before I moved to Ontario.
The old site is getting near 41,000 on the General Board. Guess it will go past there by February - so have to work on the next 41,000 here on Muliply. Have no idea if this will post so here goes - (Ctrl+Enter)
I clearly did not use spell check - that would be Multiply :)
The old site is getting near 41,000 on the General Board so it should get there by February. Next we'll have to get up to 41,000 here on Multiply. It's off to a good start.
