Not where I really want to be
We currently have over 9,500 registered members.

Over the years I have culled the ranks and deleted a lot of members to keep the active members more relevant.

If I did not cull, we would have over 36,000 members registered with TBCF.

For example, one time I deleted all members that never posted and did not visit the forum for over 2 years.

To be honest, I'm surprised that there's that many. I worked in an organization with thousands of employees that could benefit from the forum, yet I am convinced that I am the only one that's a member.
The forum goes through phases. When I started there was a lot more space given to inspection items. There was a span when the focus was almost entirely on ADA. As of late there is mostly plan check issues.

At the beginning of my time here I started a thread titled An Average Day. I put a lot of inspector's stuff there because I was too lazy to create a new thread a few times every day. There has been over 600,000 views and 6000 replies. It was a mistake to do it that way.

I have considered pulling from the AAD thread and starting new threads scattered about, where they would belong. There's a few thousand pictures and that might spark some interest from inspectors. Other members can do likewise. Since few people will trudge through the AAD thread, nobody would notice the repeat.

I just did it. A simple copy and paste... pictures and all. Easy peasy. I won't do more than four a day so as to not load up the works. But crap, that could drag this out for years.
