Watch us grow!! 5,200 members!! *\0/*
Yay Mel <3<3 Thanks for posting that (and actually making a real banner thingie... not a train or office supplies LOL)
It's cool to see the group growing and we all owe Mel (who is still sending out the hundreds of welcome letters) a giant round of applause.

Thanks, Kaje. We're growing because we have such an awesome group of people to hang with. <3
5300 of us going places together.... well 5372 as of today. Welcome to all the new folk.
I have a banner... I promise, but I can't get it to upload at the moment. I'll try again in a bit. We have the most awesome members on Goodreads.
Wow, 5504... that's amazing. Just one page back we were at 1200.
Woot!!! Welcome to all the newbies!!!
A huge thank you to all of our wonderful members. You are absolutely the best!!

And just for laughs (because we continue to grow, yay!!), here we are now...
Although 5733 by the time I got around to posting... so, that's where we were a few days ago.
I hope we continue to be a hopeful, book-filled, safe space for all our members.

Our ranks are growing!! 5,800 of the best members/readers on Goodreads. We love our members and hope everyone is enjoying the group.
On this Thanksgiving weekend, we are most thankful for our 5,900 plus members. We are going places and are so happy to have you all along for the ride with us. Thank you all for making this group a success.
Yay!! Thanks Mel, and wow. Chugging on along, eh?

And we went over 6100 members for the end of the year. Thanks to everyone who joined us (and huge hugs to Mel, who was so busy all year keeping us going with new member letters. Very best wishes in your real life endeavors.) Welcome, everyone. The interest and community of YA LGBTQ books and stories gives me hope for the future. Moving onward...

Very best wishes in..."It's been a fantastic year. I sent out almost 2,000 welcome letters in 5-month's time. We have the best group going. Here's to a great 2017.
Wow, that's even faster than I realized <3
And to think that 4 years ago I was posting 1200 members... thanks to all who have joined us.
Congratulations!This is a great group doing wonderful things for gay youth. (Sorry, but that is a generic term for me, encompassing all parts of the gender "alphabet").

We continue to grow, and share stories, and link information, and hang out. Welcome to everyone new and thanks to all the great members.
Raised up to 6500 members :) Welcome everyone.
I love all these different pictures of numbers! XDThere is something cool about scrolling through and seeing them get higher and higher haha
:) I have fun looking for images, and yes, it's cool to watch the numbers grow. We're getting both more books and more readers for the genre, and both are a good thing.
Another hundred members strong - I hope people are finding good books and good information here with us. 
And we have topped 6700 members - welcome everyone.

At one point, Goodreads accidentally deleted some groups overnight, removing all content and members. We were one of them. (Yeah - cue the running around screaming.) They were able to reinstate us about a week later, with just a few days of input lost, but when they did that, the Groups listing added our old member number and "new" members together. As a result, that "Groups" listing runs about 3000 too high. I told them several times, but then decided their history with fixing things is spotty, and if it ain't toooo broke, don't insist they fix it.
The one on here (6730) is the correct number. The other just makes us look cooler (and the bigger we get, the less it's false advertising) :)
So here we are happy as, er, clams... with 6800 members. :D
