    We launched YF back in October 2003. It took nearly 5 years to eclipse the 50,000 post mark, which occurred on April 22, 2008. Over the past 5 years, we added another 100,000 posts. On Wednesday, February 27th, 2013, YF eclipsed 150,000 posts. This number is significant because 99% of the posts on this forum are information-packed and the content is relative to the subject.

    Post count is not a measure of a forum. "Posts that count" are the real measure. Congratulations to everyone who has made YF a useful and relevant resource for yacht minded folks. Quality Trumps Quantity!

    Well put. While I do not have the knowledge that many here do, I have learned quite a bit Since I first got here.

    Thanks to everyone I have learned from, and thanks to Carl and the great Moderators for keeping the forum so garbage free.

    So, Carl, who made the lucky 150k post?

    I'm supposed to get a picture of the sample t-shirts today. YF member "Viking 58", who owns Outrigger Imaging is printing the shirts for us. I'll post the pic upon receipt. If all goes well, I'll have the shirts in 2 weeks. Will commence shipping after the Palm Beach Boat Show. Probably early April, but not sure on the exact date. Have some upcoming business travel that hasn't been scheduled yet.
