VERY happy with the response. The whole "if you build it, they will come" thing was definitely in my mind. As of this post were are at an even 200 members, which has exceeded my expectations.

Thanks, again, Mike. Really nice to have this available now that the bulldozers have plowed through the other Bar.
I'd say it's quite a tribute to what Chris/Rob created/maintained that there is this much traffic here "the day after".

And you are absolutely right, its not because of anything I did. It's all Chris and Rob. All I did was facilitate it

I will work on getting a better sign up at the old place to point people here. May take a week or so.

We have had over 700 “guests” in addition to the 200+ who have signed up.

We have had over 700 “guests”... Probably people from PETA investigating rumors of giraffe wrangling!

Well then we just may have to start a Moe's ver2.0 Cook Book to scare 'em off

I would actually like to do a cookbook sub-forum, do you think there's enough interest?

I was a sometimes lurker on the FDP.
I was next door neighbors with hushnel back in the 70s, growing up in Bethel Park, PA....lol.

I'm actually floored. On the night before there were only 70 or so registered.
A duffs to all, or do we need a new official beer?

I suspect some of the new names are old names that hadn't posted in awhile. I posted a thread in FB and invited many of them to come back.

I was afraid that we'd get like 50 people and only half of them would contribute anything. Instead, posts are coming way faster than I can read them.

I was afraid it might be a slow start, and it's been quite the opposite. Exceeded my expectations, also. Great job mfitz! I know you don't want to take credit, but you still deserve it! Thanks so much for keeping it going!

I know you don't want to take credit, but you still deserve it! Thanks so much for keeping it going! It's my pleasure. Today I have implemented a new banner, page numbering and "Next" button at the bottom, and a larger character limit for thread titles, all base don member suggestions. I can take credit for having set us up, but my position has been and will remain that its the members that make a place like this what it is. Thanks to everyone for their ideas!

I kind of wish former FDPers kept their old usernames rather than changing them. Keeps the familiarity and sense of family in place. I understand some wanted a new identity or decided they didn't like their former FDP names but still...

^^ Yeah -- I was kinda surprised by at least one.
I'll get over it.
