This site and community are worth their weights in gold.Since joining BP I can attest to the fact that my REI knowledge and skills have increased tremendously, coupled with the fact that I am being interactive with like minded individuals who are focused and excited about the success of others.BP and its community are here to stay and will continue to be a model for others to emulate.It clearly shows that persistence, hard work and dedication can certainly bear fruit in the building and expansion of a purpose driven platform without spam and other distractions.320,000 members and counting are a testament to the demand for an active and serious community driven REI site.Great job @Joshua Dorkin, @Brandon Turner, as well as the rest of the supporting team and of course the BP community!
