    Today with mikek's registration, we have reached the 3,000 member mark! I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of our members for making PriusChat such a fun place to "work" on, and that I hope the next 3,000 members are just as smart, civil, and informed as you all.

    Thanks again, and keep spreading the word about the Toyota Prius and PriusChat!

    Danny

    That's great Danny. PriusChat is growing because it is the best Prius site on the Internet IMHO. Keep up the great work. We all appreciate what you do.

    I can feel the love!

    Actually, while we Prius owners can congratulate ourselves, the real credit goes to Danny for his vision and diligence. Am sure running this board isnt easy but he makes it available to all and keeps things working. Great job Danny and thanks.

    Congratulations Danny. Good design, good content, and good management of this site will certainly lead to continued success!

    I found this site when we had just ordered our Prius. I had it in the back of my mind to create a Prius-related website of my own. I Googled to see what had already been done, found your site, and realized that the need had already been met.

    I'm number 1,721. Rather uninteresting number. It's not even prime.

    Congrats to Danny and everyone on this site. I often hope that Danny is doing well enough from sponsors to keep up the site. I hate to think about the day when Danny decides it's just not worth it any more. Rue the day!!!

    Congrats Danny, I can't count how many people I would've drove crazy by constantly talking about this car if this site didn't exist. I thank you on their behalf as well as on mine. This site is the exception to the standard forums out there on anything when it comes to kindness, respect, etc. Here's to the next 3,000! :)

    We've got 3,000, and Toyota just said a couple weeks ago they sold their 150,000th Prius... so, 1 in 50 Prius owners are on PriusChat? :) Not bad...

    Er, except there are people here who don't have their Prius yet. Well, still an interesting number. Let's shoot for 1 in 10! :D

    Danny, a milestone that's indicative of the foresight, thought, and dedication you shown in developing and keeping this the Number 1 Pruis Forum on the Web. Congrats Danny and keep up the outstanding work.

    You have a right to be proud Danny. The Yahoo 2G group has only 2682 members, and I'll take the quaility of folks here over that group ANY day. It's run better, info is more accessible, it's the best Prius site on the web. I jump around to most of the other major sites every day, but this is my Prius "home".

    Thanks for the good work Danny. I have learned more from this site than any other Prius forum. The people here are civil and the topics are very timely.
    As the Prius becomes more and more 'mainstream', I'm sure the number will grow. The best is yet to come, especially as our Prii get up in mileage and we get into real longevity discussions - oils, maintenance problems, etc. I think a lot of us are shooting for the 200,000 mi. plus club, so we're going to be here a while!

    Besides the benefit of being able to share info with a fine group of people, this site has saved me a ton of money, what with the discounted extended warranty AND the news that the tax deduction is still $2000 for this year. Thanks and thanks! Great job!

    Don't forget that some of those members are P.O.W.s. I was a member for 5 months learning all that I could before my Prius came in. Thanks to all the great teachers out there and to Danny for making it possible.

    One way - look left at "Who is Online". The links there all go to a URL of the form http://priuschat.com/forums/profile.php?mo...wprofile&u=####, where #### is the user number of that user.

    Ah, I was wondering the same thing. Curiously, I'm #3, Danny is #2....#1 doesn't exist....mysterious. Danny's padding the numbers!!
