I'm amazed by the continued flow of backers. Really good to see and the more the merrier. I bet Frontier are glad they set up the paypal option now!

Deadly, But very fluffy...
Yep the more the merrier, also noticed that on an average day now on the forums there's at least one hundred plus looking at the threads most hours, a few month's back seventy or eighty was a very good number, bound to rise though i guess as game testing gets nearer.
*Waves back*
Although, I have stopped being a lurker now, I guess...
LOL, I too was a lurker for many years until the Kickstarter
35000 backers means 35000 gamma testing guaranteed... the servers will go into meltdown
glad this game is already a success even before the Alpha testing

Who hasn't lurked with intent over the years. I used to check in here from time to time to see what was going on and looking for any news of a future Elite game. Now like a lot of people I've shed my lurker tag and dived in. The KS (in general ) had such a good feeling it was impossible not to jump into the forum.
Actually, I don't get this whole lurking thing... Why would anyone want to lurk? It's just well murky and lurky. Surely the whole point of forums and a community is to get involved? I guess its just me, but I've never lurked.
Well, it really depends on personality
Some people just like to read what other people say. It's all good. Hey lurkers, you are welcome!

Gamma is in a few months. In the meantime, we will be much more than 35,000 (with advertising around Alpha and two betas). 40,000? 45,000? 50,000? 60,000? ...
