Well, I started the main site back in 2001 as basically a hobby web site. The forum was added in late December of 2005. So the forum is still fairly new. Thanks to lot's of help from people here, it has grown pretty steadily since then.
I am really happy with the results and the fact that a lot of people like the idea of a Canadian based site, keeping it free from fools has been challenging. We are hit every day with spammers signing up, we just keep zapping them. The whole idea is to keep it on target.
Cheers
