Does it matter??
I dare say we are the most active onlive VeeDub community in the world. From what I see we have far more traffic (topics and replies) than Shop Talk
or Samba.
If you don't log onto AVD for a couple of days it's hard to catch up on missed topics..... if you log onto samba or shoptalk.... you've hardly
missed a thing.
I'm going to use a Xmas tree here since I see no real use for it as an emoticon :tree
Cool

Nah not really... just seems to be of little use so I thought I'd give it a go. I've Just been in a stupid mood all day. Haveing said that a few
more emoticons would be nice.... but not sure how hard they are to add the the forum.
Anyway, merry Xmas. :tree

You guys all rock! Self congratulation without ego rubbish. That's what being an Aussie is all about.
Thanks for your work, and "I luv ya's all" (murder of the english language is also what being an Aussie is all about).

thats great work guys, definetly the biggest VW forum ive seen so far, and getting bigger all the time. but i had no idea how big. jim u must b proud
of urself. can u see how many of those members r active, or how many actually post regularly?
i was just thinkning, its freaky to think u post a pic of ur VW for ur local veedubbers to see ur car and ppl from pakistan or belgium or somwhere
may be saving it and adding it to their little folders on their computers, the internet is awesome.

check out my website people of the world!!! lol.

It is big and great but, to me, the most important part about AVD is that its not self destructing like most other forums/discussion groups I have
been on. They bag each other regularly, threat to take legal action and all that bullshit. I love this one and been on it for a long time and I don't
see myself going off it any time soon. Big thank you for the people who made/make it happen.

Hey Karmannghia60! Why do you have a Bus avatar? I'm going to sue you for this, as I've just bought a bay for $25000 thinking it was a Karmann Ghia.
You're dead slimeball!
Sorry, the smartarse in me couldn't resist.
Love, joy, freedom and rust inhibitor to you all!

This site is addictive, i have logged on nearly every day since it started, And when it goes down , I dont know what to do with myself.
If only I spent as much time working on my splitty it would have been finished a year ago.
Thanks for starting this Jim
and my missus hates you????

Isn't it wonderful to know all you people who have the same "love" in VW are just right in your own home on line.
There is someone here all the time posting or reading.
Nice to know your all here in my home whenever I turn my computer on.

So what Brad is saying is if you have already posted several photo's of your car on the site.......................then DON"T POST ANYMORE !!!!!!
You are overloading the bandwidth.
heheheheheheh :P:P:P:P
Just joking
Stats look good :kiss

They are great stats, thanks Brad.
Mind blowing isn't it. I mean, I know I have mentioned how it all started before, so I won't repeat myself, but it seems only a few weeks ago that I
was emailing people, telling them I had started this forum thingy, and they should get on there..
Only yesterday 300 members? Mate, I can remember I think it was Spook that was about member 16, Brad was like member 4, Wes was like member 7, and the
list goes on..
It wasn't exactly like it was now, back then though. The ideas and concepts are primarily the same, but without the support of both Brad and Andrew,
we'd be up the creek without that famous paddle..
Thanks guys. Thanks for keeping us a float.
