... To become the registered member number 10.000 at the RSC forums... I guess that makes us the biggest gathering place for simracers on the net ? Hopefully we still manage to weigh quality over mere quantity :) It's been less than 10 months since we started, and we are STILL not really done with the website, but we 'll probably get there some day. Cya all at 100.000 ;) Mikkel Gram-Hansen Administrator @ RSC http://www.racesimcentral.com PS: Also a hand to all our great friends, competitors, colleagues or whatever one might call the admins of the other big simracing sites, you are working wonders... we know how much effort and time is involved ;)

No. Rec.autos.simulators was been read by more then that just in 1995, therefore it can only exponantially bigger over the years as the number of people on the Usenet has dramatically increased (even if the curb has been toned down with the years). 1537 40868 141 59% rec.autos.simulators Those numbers in order are : Rank of Usenet NG's Estimated total number of people who read the group, worldwide. Actual number of readers in sampled population Propagation: how many sites receive this group at all Now that the propagation is closer to 100%, it can only be more. So there, when the number reaches 100,000 you can write here again. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://ymenard.cjb.net/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

LOL there goes my reputation for doing at least a little research before I brag *doh* Ian the only reason you have gotten so big is 'coz we constantly devote our newssection to telling everyone how great the guys at SimBin are at developing mod's ;) Mikkel Ian Bell <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:FB6j9.4173$[email hidden]...

Is absolutely true Mikkel. I think about 5,000 of our numbers are really yours, but they got confused as to what site they were at (with all the SimBin news) and registered with us :-) Ian "Mikkel Gram-Hansen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3d8d7b0f$0$39034$[email hidden]... > LOL there goes my reputation for doing at least a little research before I > brag *doh* > Ian the only reason you have gotten so big is 'coz we constantly devoteour

>"Mikkel Gram-Hansen" <[email hidden]> wrote > WOW that is a lot of simracing freaks !! Yeah some people estimated that the Usenet readership has quadrupled since 1995 (that would be normal, just remember how sparse the net was back then), so the number would be around 200,000 per month. The Usenet is clearly underrated :) > Pretty interesting statistics btw., do you know how they reach these > estimated numbers ? Back then they had surveyed usenet usage from certain servers, and made statistics out of it. They were lucky to get those numbers from the companies, I guess. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://ymenard.cjb.net/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

One of those 11330 members is me..... but I hardly ever visit the simbin forums. I check back there occasionally though in the hope that one day you guys will start to experiment with some other sims (*ahem* Racer? *ahem*) :0) "Ian Bell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:FB6j9.4173$[email hidden]... > <ahem> <cough> 11330 registered members. > > www.simbin.com ;-) > >
