FMF - Friends of Minerals Forum, discussion and message board

[Jordi Fabre]

Such a day as today 15 years ago I created this Forum. As time goes! 😉

[Don Lum]

Congratulations on a such a successful, popular and rewarding Forum, Jordi.

Hello,
We are very lucky that Jordi started this forum with such enthusiasm.
Congratulations and thank you.
Roger.

Time flies and Jordi is our captain!

Yes, Congratulations! As I am a member and watcher of this forum as well as the Spanish Foro FMF, I just also got the message that led to your similar, but different, post there. I was quite impressed that in every category except number of members (slightly fewer there), the numbers 'there' were double [or more] than the numbers 'here'....so the TOTAL numbers are really amazing - and if you don't post the sum totals, I might - but I suggest you make a sum total and post on both, as they are in many ways one Forum with a lot of crossover of ideas and posts, etc. The total number of views, along with ALL the categories, were stunning on both 'sides'. Where will this be in another 15 years?! Will you have added a French, German and Russian section and be rivaling Google and such? - only joking....

I think you/we/all can consider it was a GREAT success - any way one wants to measure it!

[James Catmur]

Fantastico - so great to see how we have built a community that works together, in two languages with lots of us on both. So, they would say in Singapore 'same, same but different'

Let's wait for many more and better years if the health (and the economy) hold up.

Thank you Jordi and to everyone who has made this site possible!
I've learned quite a bit here and am always awed by the fantastic photos that are posted.
Time sure does fly when one is working with rocks, doesn't it?

Jordi,
Congratulations for your wonderful website and for providing a venue for some of us who have written articles to publish our articles. You have made it very easy to do this, so thank you!
