Happy Anniversary everyone! 

 

Edit: Wait, I checked and it decreased. From 77 to 75. How is this possible??

I don't know I saw that too. It seems that only the normal 75-77 members saw this thread and so there aren't that many people.


I keep:

(angry) Pogonomyrmex Rugosus,
(stubborn) Myrmecocystus Deplisis
Tetramorium Immigrans
Monomorium Minimum

And many Carnivorous plants such as:

Dionea (fly trap)

Sarracenia x 'Fiona' ( American Pitcher plant)

Nepenthese ventrata (Tropical Pitcher plant

Pinguicula agnata x emarginata (Butterwort)

If only all the guests made accounts, there would be like 270+ members online every day.

I think its because some of these were from yesterday and they are slowly deleting.

Don’t feel bad. This is a hard goal to hit, especially this time of year.

Your right, but it was still fun to do. I would like to thank everyone who participated in it. I really enjoyed it and even though winter is coming so many of our memebers are going to be offline(hmmm, if you think about it, it's kind of like hibernating.). We did get one thing out of this, and it's that now FC has a birthday/anniversary!

It’s worth celebrating. Crystals used to do a raffle for a free formicarium. Maybe that’s what we should bring back.

I miss them. I loved their firebrick tutorials, they really inspired me even though I absolutely failed at making them.

Hey everyone! I just had a fun thought regarding this forum, and wanted to share it with you guys to see if your on board. 

On the bottom of the main page the forum, it shows how many members are online, how many members there are, and etc. And I noticed it also showed most members ever online in the history of this forum. It was 177 members in Jul 1, 2019. 

And I had a sudden thought, what if we broke this record? We could all login at a certain time, I mean, this forum has over 7000 members, I'm sure it'll be easy to break it. Who knows? It might bring back some members that were offline for a long time. If we're going to do it, we should use PST, since a lot of members all live in different time zones. 

 

Reply if your interested! 

 

I forgot to log in yesterday, but how did the attempt go?

We should also try again in late spring/summer because that's when people find ant queens and look for help, so the forum of probably more active then.
