    Maybe fewer troubles = fewer posts?

    I'd really like to think that, and I'm pretty sure "AL Who" plus a few others might agree.
    Still it would be nice of them to check-in now and then to show off their new projects and photos,
    to let know how their doing.

    I'm not sure what constitutes an active member but the true number of Carvewright owners on this forum is nowhere near the 10.8k listed as members. Thousands of those are banned spammers, and many more are spammers & bots just waiting to be banned. Some of the banned ones still visit the forum on a regular basis and skew the number of 'online' users as well.

    Well, I can tell you that I have not been active in a while due to my machine having been down so long. Now that I received my parts I have not had time to do anything. This includes fixing the machine. I do still read occasionally, but find my self on the cncartguild most often, live chatting. I do have a new idea that I will be showing off soon.

    I think we did a good job and helped people get through the bad times when the QC almost ruined LHR's public relations to the point of no return. The original Mods do a fantastic job here and I thank you.

    Having said this I am one that loves to show off any cool tools and CNC's

    Here is Megan playing a liquid Violin made on the CW, Lightwave, and Designer, I named it the V1 after LHR's programing department's Designer ver 1.
    I also like to give a shout out to Chris M now not at LHR.

    They can do a lot of things. Mostly they try to access information about users, spam with advertisements, etc. Some are search engine information harvesters for Google, Yahoo, etc. Overall, they are (of can be) a real pain in the buttocks!

    Yep! and now some of 'em are starting 'groups' here where they are invisible far longer than if they spam on the forum. Keep the vigil and let the Mods know the instant you see one by using the 'report this post' thingy.

    As for me. Over the past year I have been in the hospital 4 times. Twice they thought I would die. I have also had around 65 Doctor visits. I already have had 3 more appointments this year and have 3 specialists to see next week. Sorry to say it but I haven't been in my shop for 3 or 4 months now. This is the first time in a while that I feel up to checking in and seeing what projects everyone is working on.
