==== Community tops 10,000 members! ====
A monumental achievement was recorded in TWF's history last month when we reached 10,000 forum members! We officially crossed the line on the 14th September and since then nearly 500 more members have joined! Many of you will note that I very often talk about growth and even more regularly announce reaching new member milestones. I think we can be very proud of the community we have and that as more and more members take part our knowledge and resources continue to grow!
* Take a look at the official announcement and have your say on the forums growth:
The Wholesale Forums has reached 10,000 members!
==== October 2007 MOTM Awarded to Greedyboy ====
Congratulations to
greedyboy this months winner of the
Member of the Month award.
This is a first for our MOTM award, to have a member
(who won it just a few months ago) gain the recognition of another outstanding month on the forums!
Dean averages around five posts a day on the forums and if you look at his recent posts most of which are highly informative and a lucrative resource to have here on the forums. The moderating team unanimously felt it more than appropriate to show our appreciation for the wealth of knowledge you are sharing with our community.
So to rapturous applause, keep it up Sir!

==== Monthly Popular Discussions ====
The forums have featured some extremely good debates this past month with many of our regular members providing some invaluable advice. Here are just a collection of the popular discussions going on right now at TWF:
Advice on Trip to China?
Tonster is considering going on a business trip to China. Apart from the obvious reasons such as product sourcing and supplier scouting he is after some inspiration. Do you have any advice to offer him? Perhaps you yourself are considering a visit? Check it out:

Most Profitable Industry?
In case any of you missed this last month, the debate is still on to find the most profitable industry. Have you got an opinion?

Buying Electronics in China
A member from Norway posed a question to the community looking for advice on sourcing electronics from China. This currently four page epic contains some highly valuable information for those looking to source out of China:

Google Checkout vs Paypal
The clash of the payment processor titans. Paypal has long since been a leader in this sector. Has the recent popularity of Google Checkout made them re-think their strategy and service? Have your say:

==== Editor's Note ====
This month has certainly been a busy one, not just for me but also for the forum. Our members have been very active indeed over the past eight weeks creating number after number of hugely resourceful threads. I have been busy working behind the scenes (as I so often end up doing these days) working on a couple of new features that I hope to talk to you more about in the coming months. Several of you have sent me emails or posted on the forums requesting another article competition or some other form of competition. Our last article competition was in fact around this time last year so I can confirm we will be rolling one out very soon. So stay tuned publishers! - Until next time..
I wish you all a very pleasant week ahead!
Kind Regards,
Anthony Trollope
