Darn CHANCE. I must have fallen asleep at the keyboard. I better get posting or get left behind. Way to go on 300! Keep stroking them keys! Dukefan1

Congratulations, Chance!
For this post you get a little story about picking the name CHANCE:

When Wayne told Hawks that he liked the name he picked for him in Rio Bravo - "Hey, that's a good name you got me - Chance" -
Hawks answered: "Yeah, I kinda liked that girl, too."

well blow me down
FABULOUS

Mr + Mrs Chester

Brillaint going that is just terrific well done to the pair of you I dont think you or Mr Hondo will ever be caught you are certainly leading this chase.

I really have enjoyed all your posts and I hope many more will come from you 1000 posts doesnt seem to far away now, well for you anyway, mayber another scecial topic for those posts would be good.

Smokey I remember a time when Chester was on 500 posts and you were joking about how you might make it some time well that some time is very close keep goen girl.

If there was such a thing as most hits in the chatroom the all out winner would be Chance he's never out of that place(Don't tell him I said that)

If anyone on this board knows of any other John Wayne fans perhaps ones that you wouldnt see on the web encourage them to visit this site, its great to have new members the two new recruits at the moment Author and SXviper are certainly starting to shine.

Once again well done and I look forward to your future posts.

Well I've made it to 600 and it hasn’t been too long since I was making my 500th post.

The message board continues to grow in strength with three new members developing nicely namely 'Sxviper', 'SaddleTramp' and of course 'Arther'.

The more occassional members seem to be getting more at home every day which is great such as 'Jen' 'Reasr' 'Dukefan1' and 'JWFan'.

Of course the old faithful are still here and as vibrant as ever 'Chester', 'Itdo', 'Hondo', 'Smokey', 'Kevin' and of course Chance.

I can see in the future that we will have around 50 solid members whom regularly make posts. I would like to say this we shouldn't put too much emphasis on membership numbers as this is easily manipulated. Is it not better to have a small honest and likeable group of great people promoting a positive image of the world rather than a massive messageboard membership promoting the evils that is too frequently witnessed on the news regarding the Internet, this site is certainly unique in that respect and for all the right reasons.

Its hard to believe for me personally to be still on this site and its really because of Hondo, I remember for some reason I made a post on this site and by accident I accidentally looked back the next day and Hondo had replied to my topic my interest just grew from there.

I suppose it must be the same for everyone else but its kind of surreal because we have been more or less communicating with each other for a year now yet we have never seen each other nor are we likely to. Having said this there really is a great atmosphere on this board almost everyone is so friendly and great for interesting trivia and not always related to Duke or even movies, which is refreshing. I just hope that if I'm around for 600 more posts this messagebaord sticks to the same principles it has done to now its honest, non cynical, uplifting, friendly and inspiring and is a nice break from the norm of everyday life.

On a lighter note I heard this joke the other day

There is a story about a new clerk in a supermarket. A customer asked him if she could buy half a grapefruit. Not knowing what to do, he excused himself to ask the manager.
"Some nut out there wants to buy half a grapefruit..." he began, and, suddenly realizing that the customer had entered the office behind him, continued, " ... and this lovely lady would like to buy the other half."

The manager was impressed with the way the clerk amicably resolved the problem and they later started chatting. "Where are you from?" asked the store manager.
"Lancaster, Pennsylvania," replied the clerk, "home of ugly women and great hockey teams."
"Oh, my *WIFE* is from Lancaster," challenged the manager.
Without skipping a beat, the clerk asked, "What team was she on?

cyas all at 700 hopefully
