Over the last 48 hours, the total forum posts clicked to over the 400,000 mark. That's pretty phenomenal for an independent Beatles site with a modest membership.

Thank you all for ensuring that Strawberry Fields has lasted this long. I've said this before and I apologise for repeating myself, but when this forum was created a few years ago, we had no idea that it would grow into such an established, well-frequented forum. This was the dream. :)

But now Andy's gone and blown the lid and now I fear the fallout from this particular cat's exit from the bag!

Cat fallout is the best kind of fallout though.

Congratulations to everyone, and especially Andy and Fiona (for creating this wonderful forum in the first place).

I knew it would be successful with the 'cream of the crop' membership we have.

Here's to many, many more posts in the years ahead! :cheers:

Ha, good one. However, something works until it stops working and, as far as I'm aware, this is still working.

No, it's not easy sometimes, Mia, and thanks. Whenever lots of people come together and express opinions, there's always going to be a lot of scope for trouble. We surf that fine line between wanting a peaceful place and also not wanting to censor people. Sometimes we succeed, sometimes we fail.

Yes, I have also noticed a LOT of trouble on every forum shortly after I have joined. Must just be the forums... :innocent:

Yep and I never bought into those conspiracy theories about you. I knew there could only be one. At least I prayed to God there weren't more... :P
