This week the Morning Advertiser's web forums received their 10,000th reader's comment - establishing them as the number one place to talk about the licensed trade.

We launched the forums in September and never expected the response we've had - so thank you all 443 of you who have contributed to the discussion and the tens of thousands more who have enjoyed reading the threads.

If you've not joined in yet then please feel free to let rip and get your worries off your chest or just say hello and see if there are any like-minded people out there.

Here are some views from our regular suspects...I mean contributors - I'll let you work out who each one is

"I enjoy the forum as it as an excellent way of learning of developments in the trade."It is also refreshing to have a battle of wits along the way, too."The articles the MA report are extremely important to the trade and you should be praised for reporting them and giving others an opportunity to debate them."

"As a regular contributor and compulsive reader of the MA forum site I can own up to logging on at least twice a day."It is a great way to assist new entrances to the business and for networking with those within the trade already."I may not agree with all that is said and guess some readers have a different point of view to my own but at least we all have the opportunity to take part and debate and not to sit on the fence."I believe that everyone benefits from the forum which is truly informative and has the added value of being great fun to participate within."I look forward to the next 10,000 postings."

"Since the MA online forum started it has informed, sparked debate, anger, and frustration, but above all enabled licensees and others to express their views."I would certainly hope the great and good in the industry take note."It is true to say the industry is fighting for it's life.Thank you Iain and Chris - lets hope for the next 10,000."

Let us know if you read the forums and what you like and dislike about them by posting a comment on the thread below. Cheers, Iain.
