I started keeping track of the number of those registered way back in April of '01.
This was my start date and number: 4/6/01 1642
Today 3/9/02, there are 2900 registered.

Just some FYI

I was born at Manatee County Hospital (I think that's the name of it) in Bradenton Florida and lived in Sarasota for a while. It's been YEARS!! I was just a little surprised to see SARASOTA pop up in front of my eyes.

I'm glad you made the jump to participate Phillip! I too lurked around for a while before jumping in. I remember that such jumping in can be a little uncomfortable. I worried about saying the right thing, my grammar etc. Soon I really came to understand that in this community people aren't quick to be judgemental. They are quick to want to help. Lots of Xara heros around here!

The Xara forums aren't a closed-door club. The culture of the forum seems to be that if more people used Xara we'd all benefit. New Xara users become advanced users and along the way bring insights and life experiences that benefit us all.

As you've seen, one thing that will get you in trouble here is disrespecting others. Treat others with respect and the most patience you can muster and trouble will not find you.

We have had newcomers who seemed to always think there was innuendo at work in others' posts. Their unfounded paranoia eventually drove them away. Take posts at face value and contribute in a forthright manner and the forums will grow with you.

What kind of stuff do you like to do with Xara?

Regards, Ross
