GLRF leaps over 900 member mark

The GLRF membership began its final march towards the millennia mark with the 900th membership registration by a Toronto, Canada rower yesterday. New member sign ups have seen a definite surge since the beginning of the year, averaging 12 – 15 new members a month. If the current registration rate continues, GLRF will see its membership expanding into the triple digits around October or November of 2010.

The top three countries by membership are now the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The biggest draw in the membership expansion has been the existence of regional groups on Network Now!, the internal social network that serves to connect the GLRF membership.

With the upcoming launch of the GLRF online image gallery, Gotcha! Gallery, members should find even more reasons for logging in and interacting since the gallery features include shoutboxes, comment sections, and FavBoxes for saving favorite images into personal albums.

To better serve the GLRF membership, the All Oars forum has been upgraded with new features including multiple member blogs, a chat board, and more robust highlights of comments and interactions.
