    I've noticed a large number of Guests frequent Certforums, as you would expect from a well known Certification community site.

    I would like to urge our Guests to become Members to get even more out of the site. Being a member means that you can have your say, voice concerns, give advice, get advice and just generally converse with like minded certification hunters and IT professionals :)

    Best of all, it's free! Although if you would like to remove the adds from your session you can become a premium member for a minimal charge that goes towards web hosting etc for the site, or not, its up to you.

    When I signed up, I think I posted once and then didn't use the site for over a year, but as soon as I did start using the site again I was very glad to be a member...

    Thanks all for your help over the years gone and the years to come.

    It's all about word of mouth, I always tell peers about the place but in all my time here I have only known one other colleague who also posted here (actually he posted here before he joined my company so that one wasn't down to me).

    In the past CF was a very active place and a fun place to hang out, the added bonus was the techy stuff. We could try and get some of that atmosphere back, forums are not the hip and trendy medium nowadays for social on-line gatherings but I think they still have a place so its still possible.

    I dont pursue certifications anymore and my working life is very much different to what it was way back in the good old CF days but I'm stating to remember how much fun the place way. We just need to encourage our new members and keep the topics flowing.

    CF will always be a place to hang out and chill, discuss careers, certifications, aspirations, gaming, what ever, but it needs your support. Like anything this place costs money to run, hosting, domain name etc. Your support in becoming a premium member is greatly appreciated not only by the sites owners but by fellow patrons who frequent this place and are determined to see it go from strength to strength, both as a resource for certification but also as a meeting place for like minded people to exchange ideas and express themselves. Thank you to all of our members for your continued support. It really is appreciated.
    Jim
