Lisa, when I joined back in June I was number 600 and something. At that time there were maybe 30 of us that wrote posts. I NEVER would have expected this place to get so big so quick. It's awesome. I'm glad I'm on board. It's a great ride.

Lisa...

I joined shortly after my husband, Broker Bryant aka Blog Boy. I think I was in the 2,000's. It is amazing how much this site has grown. But I love the growth. With growth comes diversity. That has been the very best thing to happen to Active Rain. Why? More people more FUN :)

TLW...ROAR!

Hey There TLW!

You bet the more the merrier and it's getting more and more amazing in a really short time. I'm blown away and I was just telling Bob how shocking it is that the technology is growing so fast in our lifetime. We would have never thought - we grew up in the time of the 50's-70's so this is nuts and exciting for us! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! The train is running away - woo! Woo!

Lisa and Robert, I love reading your posts. This train is picking up passengers daily at a growing rate. I can't keep up with the new agents here. The technology on this site is wonderful. Thanks for all you contribute.

Lisa... this was good, I enjoyed it. I need to get more involved in Localism. I know it's more for realtors... and I just read a post from a loan officer on here... I wasn't happy with his particular post. It was a true ad of his services, not educating the consumer.

Just curious from the members here on AR... are these posts on Localism, especially from the lending community, should be about awareness and not selling a particular program? I am very curious and interested to hear what others have to say... and AR.

Lisa... sorry to get off topic. Overall, you are correct. This site is growing at an alarming rate. Just trying to keep ahead of that so-called train. well-written...

Lisa & Robert,

I stand in awe of AR! It is almost unimaginable how far and how quick AR has came. Some growing pains and some bumps....absolutely! But considering the progress, growth and popularity in retrospect lets call them....hiccups!
