I am so proud of JA!

[The Caribbean Crusader]

Have you ever noticed the little things about message boards on the net?

Surely, most of us here are members of other boards, or even run other boards. Heck, I have another board... not that it's doing anything anymore, but yeah. Have you ever taken the time to look at the board stats and compare a few things?

I've nosed around plenty of boards, some I run, some I joined, some I just know about, and some I just peeked at from being nosy on proboards support. Here's something I've noticed about JA, that I think makes it really special:


Our membership is relatively low, but our topic count and post count are very high.

What does that mean?

Well, naturally our membership count is not a true representation of how many people have joined the board- because we delete unactivated accounts every year- but it's the number of actual posting members. This is the true number of people active on the boards- that's really a lot, I think!

And the topic count and post count, well that just shows how active our active members are. JA members are super awesome, that's what it means.

I've seen boards with up to 6 times the membership, and less than half of the topics and posts. That always baffles me! How can you have so many people and so few posts? Because they have a bunch of unactive, or barely active, members and is that a thriving board? I say not so much.

So thank you to all the members of Johnny's Angels. You made my board thrive. All of you just fricking rock.
;D

Your very welcome! I'd like to add something if I may....

I am very proud that we try not to spread rumors or gossip here. We are very proud of Johnny and his accomplishments but we let him LIVE his life the way he sees fit. No bashing goes on here and thats part of the reason that I'm still here. Thanks for keeping this up. Again welcome back CC.

One of Johnny's faithful,

Good point!! We have legitimate topics and posts, and still have so many. We're not just active, we're respectful.

*hugs all of JA*

Thanks, CC! I am proud of JA because we have FUN.. we are all friends..its like we are all one big family.. its why JA is my "home" ..

[Little Miss Misfit]

I'm glad to be a member of this board for what? like 5+ years now? Goodness. Still alive and kickin'.

[Candy Queen]

I'm so glad that we never (or rarely ever) have arguments between members... And if they do occur it's behind closed doors because I've never seen one. I think we're more than a family because families fight.

[The Caribbean Crusader]

Well, I won't say there have never been quarrels, because there have been a few. But yeah, they're few and far between. And generally behind closed doors (as in PMs or IMs). Again, I think that has to do with everyone being respectful of Johnny and each other. We're a self-made family, and sometimes those are closer than real families.

Besides, we all have one very important commonality. ;D

[The Undercover Wonder]

I agree with everything said here, we may not be the largest community as far as forums go, but all of us who are active members post as much as we can, and we try to stay relatively on topic (most of the time, I mean I wont lie when I say I go random once in awhile..look at the awards Ive won) and the majority of our arguements are done in private, so it doesnt spread out throughout the boards. and we are like a family that we created by ourselves.

[The Poetic Protégée]

Yay, I love threads that spread the love

Even after all this time JA is still the same warm, friendly refuge it has always been and even though things have been quiet for a while I know we'll get back on track and I love that there are so many people who refuse to give up. That's definitely something to be proud of.

;D

[The Time Mistress]

I just love JA and everyone on here!

I'm really proud to be a member on here and to have made new friends.
I'm here since 2006 I think so I've been here for 3 years and I'm proud for saying that, JA has had it's up and downs but we all come together everytime and together we can make the board alive because we will always be here, and ofcourse it's always nice if new people come in and stay with us.

Thanks JA for wonderful 3 years and more!
