    Well yes...but I suspect that 10% signed up to download something and then never came back, 10% are active, and the rest are sock puppets... :sigh: (But even then, that leaves nearly 1,000,000 active, so there may be more sock puppets than I had assumed! :laugh: )

    I suspect that this number is much higher. :thumbsup:

      Hey, I've been developing professionally for about two years, since leaving Uni most of my education has been through Q&A sites and communities like this. So I've been reading Code Project for a few months now I thought I should actually say hello! instead of lurking in the shadows. So hey all! Hope I can get involved a little! :)

Have Fun and if you have something good to make an article outta it - We'd love to see it. cheers, Marco Edit: just seen that you are already in the Lounge. Nevermind.

                            Hi Simon, Welcome aboard ! I believe the ancient principle "over time: what you get back is more than what you give" applies here, but what you get back may be very surprising. enjoy, Bill

                            “Beginning, middle, and end of birth, growth, and perfection we behold is from contraries, by contraries, and to contraries; and whatever contrariety is, there is action, reaction, there is motion, diversity, multitude, order.”


                            Giordano Bruno, cosmologist, philosopher, burned at the stake for heresy on February 17, 1600. When condemned, he said to his Inquisitors: “Perhaps you pronounce this verdict against me with greater fear than I receive it.”

                                We need to induct you in the brotherhood. Send us beer. Lots of them. That's the most important sacred ritual here. Second most is send bacon to those who eat it. For each person who doesn't, share gets equally distributed among others. Welcome!

                                      I'm afraid I'm really a cider drinker or rather would Crabbies ginger beer count? (Alcoholic version of course). Also everyone who is the right side of the food chain eats bacon, those who do not, are clearly on the wrong side =P

                                        There are those who don't do BACON, but be careful before you taunt them. As as the case with the nefarious Death By Chocolate, if you cross her she will pun-ish you. And bring gin. Lots and lots of gin. Did we mention the gin?
