The earliest stats I can view show the date members earned their Basic Membership status. Cousin’s didn’t show in that category until the 13th, but he was, indeed posting on the 12th, and very instrumental in getting the fruit growing threads rolling, as in his Wanting to Understand Mulch thread.
Also earning their stripes that day were @zendog , @Alcedo , @Matt_in_Maryland , @marknmt , and one other who has remained inactive.
I’m really not all that impressive with the stats. I just frequently utilize the tools that Discourse makes available.
