It doesn't seem that long ago when there was less than a 100 of us. How things change. WAB is certainly pulling them in now. We must be doing something right.

Re: 6000 members

It seems to me that every time I visit there is a new member name at the top of the page. Well done WAB the best site of its type!

You will know when WAB has really arrived when H a b i t a t
lists the site.Currently it is considered too commercial,(Yes I understand that money must come from somewhere)

We're about to do a big reciprocal linking drive soon, just as soon as I've updated our directory. We've never really done it much before, but more links like the one on bottom of this page would be great

Re: 6000 members

I add a link to wild about britain on any e-mail I send and actually sent one to Habitat to ask why we were not linked. I drop the website name to any of the bat workers I meet and leave lots of bemused people in my wake wherever I go,what the sucess rate is I am not sure but I do try

That's a brilliant link Stu on a site that many people will visit.

I never know how my invitations to join go. Wherever I go I always promote WAB but apart from about 5 or 6 members that I know came via me there aren't anymore that I recognise. I will keep plogging along though and hope to pull in the odd one or two as I go along.
