5,784 members of of an online ANIMAL CROSSING community is AWESOME. We make friends, share memories (and salt), and have a great time. There are plenty of other types of community that have no where near this many members.
I would thumb up this if it were possible.
I don't know what's sad about it... If it's because of how many people there are and how many posts, I've seen forums with several million members and like 40 million posts. This is a smallforum.
