Mind blown!
Mind blown!

Carrots weren't always orange. It wasn't until the 17th century in the Netherlands that carrot farmers grew carrots in the orange color for political and fashion purposes. Originally, they were purple, yellow, red, and white.

Of the 2,650 members currently registered on ABO, only 847 of them have made at least one post. Percentage-wise, that accounts for about 32% of the registered members.
So about 68% of the members have forgotten their passwords (and or login names!). I wonder what percentage of our members have no avatars.
