The Community Cafe
The Community Chat area is for lighthearted and enjoyable discussions, like you might find around a water cooler at work.

Almost any non-tech-support topic may be discussed here. Discussions on religion and politics are not allowed, except for politics directly related to free and open source issues. Any topic or discussion that causes problems or drama will be closed. This area is intended for fun and community building, not arguments. Please take those elsewhere. Thanks!

Re: Interesting forum facts!

It'ś amazing...
Just the other day, I noticed that members passed the quarter mill mark.
About the same time I noticed about 1500 new members in about 2 days.
And just now about 500 in half a day...

This growth rate is incredible.
Congratulations to everybody working on and with Ubuntu.

I also bet a lot of the Windows users are people who are curious about switching to Ubuntu and are doing their research first... I lurked the forums for quite a while before I made the switch myself because I wanted to have a good idea of what I was doing

Neat stats, thanks for sharing!
