Good news!
It would be nice if it was possible to see the number of members growing in real-time on the site.
it might encourage people to sign up more.
Congratulations on a fantastic job and achievement so far :-)
500 members in just a few days, even with the bugs (now squashed) putting up hurdles for you and new members to jump over, is a testament to your reputation and integrity.
Congratulations on the milestone. I've been around and ran several forums in the past and 500 members in such a short time span is not a small feat. Thanks to the DPV team. Keep up the good work!
Bob, please keep reporting how many members we have a while. It's inspiring to all of us, I think.
I got critique from a person at dpreview because I have put the URL to dprevived in my sig. Why single out one of several projects blah blah blah? I tried to list my reasons. One of them was people are already moving here and the most important thing is to not lose contact and for that we need a platform NOW because we have very little time.
I of course also said this is the most viable project and so on. Because it is. But that the we are growing is actually an argument for others to join.
I say "we", because thanks to your attitude Bob, I do feel part of this. 😊
No, it's his own service, I think he runs a server company. I only say 'competition' because I reached out to him and the response was along the lines of 'I'm the boss and you're welcome to hand over the community to me any time you want'. I'm not sure why he chose the URL.

Thread title has been changed from 500 members! Update - 650 members.
Bob and Alan are doing a great job.
I'm confident this is going to be the DPR replacement under their management and the help of this community.
I'm also glad that the site is going back to the UK, where it all began.
