You don't have to log in to browse. I check here everyday and don't always log in unless I need to check the audio section or post a comment. I am sure there are many that never log in or even have an account yet check it out everyday too. In fact I am sure of it.

RE: We just got our 5000th user! (in reply to Ricardo)

but if you check the post who has no answer, you can see the hit rarely go more than 82. Or have 1 reply then no more than 200 hit.
For that I don't think that much people enter. Always the same 50 or so.

Anyway 5000 is good. OLE!

Wow...amazing site, amazing resource!

I'm only a slightly active poster, but more than once per month, usually.

5000 users = something here that's important to people!

Well, if thats the case, then I think the "many" are missing out on a whole lot of what this Forum has to offer!
I'm 77 years old, and have been studying flamenco music and playing flamenco guitar since the 1950's (with some layoffs). But, I think I've learned more in the one year I've been on here than I did over the past 60 or so reading books and listening to my old records. And further, I find it gives me a lot of inspiration to play.

If we'd had the resources of the Internet, instructional videos - and the kind of expert information thats readily available on this Forum - when I was first learning, I might have been another Nino Ricardo in twenty years or so (joke, of course), instead of a weird old creep struggling for sixty years to be an even mediocre beginner. (But that doesnt prevent me from enjoying the challenges and satisfaction of playing flamenco!)

You younger guys (& girls) dont know how lucky you are. . .

(For what its worth).

Just seen this post, congrats Simon we have come a long way.

Arash I think I may have been the second one to sign up two days after the website was conceived. Simon would have to verify that though.
