Default RCGroups HITS 10 MILLION POSTS!

Hey guys, here is a really cool bit of information that shows just how relevant on-line R/C communities are.

Our partner site RCGroups.com just hit a record milestone for a on-line R/C community! RCGroups has just topped 10 million posts at 12:44 PM on July 17th!

Why does this matter to Flyinggiants.com you ask?

Well, this achievement shows how much experience our new owner Jim Bourke has when it comes to running on-line R/C communities. It also shows where Flyinggiants.com can be in a few years. This achievement shows Jim's dedication to RCGroups.com and his ability to keep a website relevant and growing over time.
Now with Flyinggiants.com joining the RCGroups.com family, I believe our beloved FG will follow along, and continue to grow for many, many years to come.

Jim Bourke started RCGroups.com in 1996 and it has become the most active RC community on the Internet. By adding the Flyinggiants.com to this family there isn't a website that can even come close to the activity both sites get together.

So please join me in congratulating our friends from RCGroups, Jim Bourke, Jim T. Graham (Billy Hell) and all the RCGroups.com members for this amazing achievement.


Congrats guys!

IT's a LE story... were a family now.. its OK...
it's not the competition... its alllll good, really... no sneaky motives... I'm just proud of our partner site!

Look at it this way, it proves that R/C sites have some major validity.
This means that advertisers will see that a dollar spent with an R/C site is not a dollar wasted! It shows that the dollar spent is going into something that is stable.. this is good for FG as well.
