In order 4, 2, 6

I have made a lot of friends and had a lot of help and also found quite a few contacts via hot matches (although not recently the latter).

Edit to say that in the first few years it would have been 1, 3, and 5 so it depends how long people have been researching their FH I would think as to the answers you get.

May I add that I think 'chat' has become lost since it was merged with 'general' - no offence to 'general' fans. :-D

Genes, please tell us as to why you want to know.

Are you thinking of changing the boards again.?

I would have thought that you have the figures of how many posts are made, and to which board they are placed, so, what is the reason for your question.?
