Mike
I'm afraid I can no longer keep up with your postings and reaching these big milestones. I missed congratulating you on reaching 600 posts but as your only 4 away from 700 I will get my congratulations message in early.
Very well done and I really enjoy reading your posts.
Hi Mike
Great going on reaching 500 posts a milestone that took me quite some time to accomplish. The vast majority of members who reach 500 posts usually become permenent active members of the board, I hope that this is a trend that will continue with you.
Hi Mark
Nice going and thanks for all the work you have put into the board via quizes and picture games etc.
Robbie
Hi Murray
Nice going, 500 posts in just over one year. I enjoy your views and I hope you keep contributing your wisdom to this great site.
Robbie
Congratulations to both Jay and Chance in relation to reaching these two huge milestones.
Congratulation to both Stumpy and Ringo
You both are close to the 1000 mark and have done a great getting this far in such a short space of time.
Well done Sxviper nice going on your 700 post.
Well Done Sxviper
Its good to have you on this board and I am glad you have reached this milestone.
Well done to both Roland and Arther its great to have you on this messagrboard.
Well looks like I made it, to 903 posts anyway. 
I like this board it is a lot of fun and it is starting to get a little energy back in it again which has been absent for a while.
Your next Arthur and Roland
Congratulations both Author and Smokey
I didnt even realise that you both were anywhere near 700 posts, I'm getting a little worried your catching me.
Good to have you both on board, Smokey I am going to have to get around to watching Angel and the Badman as you have boasted about it on this board for as long as I can remember.
cyas later.
Well here I am making my 700th post and liking the messageboard and the people on it more by the day. Its great to see two new members on board since my last 100 posts namely 'Bandit' and 'Stumpy' and its also good to see 'Chisum' post more frequently. I am also very pleased to see that more and more people are reaching significant targets such as '100+' it really does add depth to this board. I hope that my on posting my next 100 posts that there will be another couple of regular members. My next 100 posts however may be a little longer in coming because I have decided to ease off on my visits to this board commencing at the end of this week, I will still be lurking around just not as frequently. I have I suppose like many others become a little to addicted to this board and having been here for nearly a year there does come a time to slow down and this is it. I hope I can live up to what I'm saying :lol: and I look forward to all of your messages in the future.
Hondo and Chester
You are a great double act well done to the pair of you I will be very interested to see who makes it to 1000 1st, keep those posts coming.
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
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 here I am at last, I wondered if I was ever going to see five hundred posts, although it may be next Christmas when I reach 600.
Although the messageboard has quietened down as of late, it has started to pick up again with Chester and Hondo back. Chances Christmas part seems like a great idea and it will hopefully get loads of people online to have a good old knees up.
Does anyone know anything about Baron he hasnt been on for a while and I miss the picture game.
I think the key member of the board over the last one hundred posts was Itdo as he kept topics going and always had some input to give, so nice one Itdo.
I would like to encourage people to continue voting for the Searchers and get it back into the top 100, we could sign up with different user names and give moives above the Searchers a rating of one. 
Unfortunely there have been no real new members since my 400th post when we had Jen but hopefully with the new year we can get a few good new members on board.
cyas all at 600 and Itdo your the next for 500 with Smokey close to three hundred so get posting you two.
