Congratulations to Amir and Steve for reaching this milestone. I have no idea what it takes in terms of financial resources, time and research to get a site like this operational and successful. I also have no idea how one attracts experts and industry leaders to a site, but you both have managed to attract some very recognizable and respected individuals for participition here. Kudos to you both!
I do have one major concern however. I think the forum suffers from too much tech-talk. I truly and honestly believe that this a roadblock and stops many visitors from signing up as members. I have mentioned this before to the chagrin of some, but also to the agreement of several others. If you don't agree, all you have to do is look at the music related threads, blu-ray threads or others to see that there are days and weeks before anyone responds or participates. Yet, post a techno-issue and within a day or two we have 2/3/4 pages of replies. Is that what WBF is or wants to be? A techno-exclusive forum? It seems to me that this is the attraction.
It may seem like I'm critisising the efforts put forth, but I really am not. Maybe I just want a clearer direction of what WBF is supposed to be.

PS: I hold Amir, Steve and Ron and Lee in the highest regard, and in no way am I dumping on them. I just want to know the direction WBF is going and wants to go.
Also, I didn't know where else to post this...so feel free to move to anoher area
