Actually, there's been a steady growth from 135 since the beginning of the year when I joined the JC we had 136 members.
I hope some may have come via my website tioi as I put a direct link up in January too and I do get a few thousand visitors a week.
You have to admit KJ, your forum saw some serious growth too, I think it's just a general raising in the level of anticipation for Episode-II.
