I issue a challenge for all 100,000+ to make a post to this thread. :rofl: Hopefully all within the next day or two. What's the Guinness World Record for the number of posts to a single thread by different individual users? Everyone sign on, and let's see if we can crash the site! Or get a record for the number of users signed in at one time.

Congrats! all ... Tams nailed it - a great and very special forum - no peers!

 

Attached is a celebration gift for all members - Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich"

 

Hope it's not too heavy on bandwidth.

 

do I have to think?

it has never been my strength.

No question Traders Lab is by far the best forum out there. Serious talk from serious traders and not all the fluff and promo posts you see elsewhere. Sure we all disagree but if I'm going to argue with anyone about trading or strategy there is no peer but here.

 

Congrats on the 100K+!

Not to take away from the celebration, but I'd be curious to know how many of those members are active members...let's say members who have signed on within the past year...or maybe even the past 3 months...

 

EDIT: or who contribute/post...

I looked it up ... 55k and 35k respectively ... plus lots of readers. New users are a bit intimidated to post because of quality of the highly technical discussions. any suggestions to encourage more posting?

Well colour me argumentative but I think it's the reverse. (Im going to get a reputation for being argumentative if I am not careful). It's the detailed, in depth, 'technical' discussions that draw posters out of the woodwork. If you look at things like the VSA threads, some of the Whyckoff ones, Jerry Perls market stats, Walters threads on his ongoing research, the FX threads like 'busy day tomorrow', Spyders (I guess that as I don't visit often), These have all encouraged new posters, but more importantly posters that continue to contribute. I'd argue that it is these threads that generate search hits that drive traffic here in the first place.

 

I think the reason is obvious. These threads have meat on the bones, they attract lurkers. They offer detailed approaches to the market, they offer genuine novel research, they offer specific applicable knowledge. The lurkers become engaged and ask questions or for clarification and before long they are in a dialogue.

 

I have started very few threads though I like to think (maybe erroneously) that I have made a decent contribution to others. The reason is I personally think it is a 'responsibility' that requires a fair bit of dedication to maintain a worthwhile thread. It requires work. The 'real time' thread is a good example, Cory and the guys are doing a fantastic job keeping going but it does not have the zest that it had in the beginning when Thales was actively maintaining it. I know I have said it before but throwing out the odd platitude for discussion really has very little value (imho) it's great threads are required.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
