Three years later, CHB is still growing strong!
New members continue to join at the same rate as last year. Creation of threads is down about 15%, and posts are down about 25%. I think this is largely due to the growing knowledge base that exists on the forums, and members being able to locate an answer without having to create a new thread. As always, continue to encourage other brewers to join the community!
