Our stats for this site show that for the first time our forum has received over 1 Million page views, so far, for the month of July. The last few months have been in the 900,000 range but today we went over a million, FOR ONE MONTH!!! I am sad there are so many folks who have kidney problems or are on dialysis, but so grateful for this forum, and for each of you who participate. Every post reaches people looking for answers, even those who do not register as members, or members who read only, and never post. Thank you for keeping IHD as the #1 online support forum for CKD!

Most impressive. Each time a person views IHD, would they be so kind as to place a crisp $1 bill in an envelope and forward it to me.

I would venture to say that we have many lurkers who don't register. If I changed the permissions to must be a member to view we would never be able to keep up with registrations.

Please don't ever do that! I was a luker for awhile and one of the main reasons I registered is because of all the great info I got from here. Many people do not want to become part of a group or register and that is fine. The information found on this site is a FANTASTIC PUBLIC SERVICE. If I had to "register" before viewing the posts I would have just simply gone on to the next site in my search for dialysis and I would NOT be as informed as I am now!!!
Never have I paid to support a message group nor have I felt this strongly about one, but I am going over to become a paying member right now just to help keep this board open to the general population.

Thank you so very much
