Where is everyone from?? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

There seem to be a lot of Canadians around.... has Fordim been on a recruitment drive?

You're right, Mith. I have noticed quite a few Canadians lately.

But you can't expect Fordy to convert many more though. I mean- three or four more would mean that 50% of Canadians would be Barrow-Downs members.

Meow... If I were being really cynical (perish the thought) , I might wonder if he compelled his students to join as a course requirement ......

Mith, phantom, are you guys making fun of Canadians? Because if you are, I'll be really upset

. But you're probably right, 50% of Canadians are probably on this site!!!! Unless your were saying that half the members on this site are Canadians? I don't know, but there are lots of other nationalities, which is a great way to meet new people. Don't you think?

Could we do a count to figure it out? Like percentages of all the most popular countries? I think that'd be a great feature for the site...to show how multi-cultural we are and such.

You know, the numbers of Canadians have been growing. I remember a few years back when there was a Canadian thread and there were only like 3 people who posted and then it was gone...I should go find that thread.

Ooo, that would be interesting. I wonder who we have more of, Canadians or U.S.?

Well it certainly wasn't my intention, I have Canadian cousins and friends, my father served in WW2 with the "Vandoos" and nearly emigrated. I do have a bit of a history of duelling with Fordim though (but he started it!!!!!) so if there is any fun being made, it is specific not generic.
