I lurk quite a bit, but not because I'm shy :-) I've come to the realization, unfortunately, that I really do need to get work done. I'm not the greatest multi-tasker in the world. Therefore, I've cut down on my posts, especially on the community list.
Anyway, a big thanks to Michael and everybody else involved for making these lists and the community as a whole a huge success. Long live ColdFusion!

I have to agree with Howie on this. Since CF-Community started up, the amount of OT posts on CF-Talk has gone waaaay down. There is some non-tec h discussion about the future of CF and such, but it's not the jokes, politics, marriages, etc. that occur on CF-Community. If you counted the two lists together, you'd have about another 20,000 posts. Add to that the fact that most fusebox posts have moved off the list onto the fusebox list (now on topica but for most of the last year on HoF), th e SQL, Studio, Spectra, etc. lists and you see that we've grown greatly rat her than shrunken. Yes, CFDJ has taken some people away with their list 'for people to talk to their authors' and yahoo groups has opened up a few CF lists that have do ne the same. But on the other hand, the amount of lurkers has gone up both o n the lists and on the fuseware news server. If I can convince Howie to write me a small news demon to listen to a por t and read from a DB then we'd have a news feed here as well and the lurker s would go up even more. And all this with no publicity, budget or anything else. All this due to the work of people like you. Not bad, huh? ;) > Actually, I think it's a reflection on the addition of cf-community for off-topic ravings :-) > > Howie > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Tracy Bost" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, December 31, 2001 5:01 PM > Subject: Re: And the award goes to .... > > > > Over 40,000 post in 1999 > > 48,000 posts in 2000 and > > just over 41,000 this year. > > > > a) ColdFusion IS Dying > > b) Its a reflection of the overall market of this year > > c) We know more, therefore we have less questions > > d) it means nothing > > > > ans: b,d > > > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation � $99/Month � Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusiona FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
