150,000!!!

Post by Scott »

I am so happy to announce that we reached an incredible milestone today.

As of early today, OnlineBookClub.org now has over 150,000 members!

I am so happy, proud, and most of all grateful to all of you.

There is such a wonderful sense of community here. Especially for the internet, where most websites seem to just be people taking turns calling each Hitler, I cannot believe how friendly, nice, and supportive everyone is here.

I wish I could say I dreamed up OnlineBookClub.org in some clever genius. But I've tried a lot of things in my life, and most haven't panned out very well. There's something special about this website and the people who use it. OnlineBookClub.org truly has a life of it's own. And I love it!

Thank you all so much for your support! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I am one that definitely appreciates the existence of OBC. So glad you came up with and executed the concept!
