The real excitement is whether reaching the 80,000 member benchmark happens before or after reaching the 200,000 Discussion thread benchmark!

appears we crossed 200,000 individual threads over the weekend!

Certainly the new forum upgrade is resulting in far more folks finding and registering on the site!

its certainly a good thing to see so many more people finding the forum when searching for help with their timeshares!

the amount of traffic to the forum from organic google searches has increased so much since the upgrade, we should have done this long ago!

Maybe but migrating to something new can be daunting. The fact is that it got done and rather successfully. Look forward, not back. Good things happened as a result of the change. :thumbup:

Still going strong after all these years, and still 100% free to register.

It amazes me that so many owners come to find help, and so many stay to pay it forward to the next "Generation" of owners looking for help!

you should all give yourselves a nice big pat on the back, that sort of kindness is so rare in this world!

(also a huge thank you to the volunteers who keep this place from coming off the tracks, sometimes people forget they are Timeshare owners just like you who spend countless hours trying to make TUG a better place for all owners!)

:cheer:

The goal for next year 2018 should be 90,000 and I feel if we all continue to work together and keep on spreading these three (3) words “Knowledge is Power” about timeshare.

shouldnt have much problem at all hitting 90k, this is always the slowest time of the year traffic wise to the site.

80,000 in April. 85,000 in November. At the rate things are going, there's a decent chance of hitting 100,000 by Christmas 2018. Time to start planning the BIG TUG PARTY!!! :cheer::cheer::cheer:
