[GTO]

Team,

This weekend, we have zoomed past an extremely significant milestone, the “50-lakh post" mark . The sheer weight of that number boggles the mind as we’ve actually always stressed on quality of posts over quantity. These are 50-lakh posts from car & bike owners on every conceivable automotive topic, be it the staple reviews or discussing taxation policies, baby seats & turbocharging. IMHO, Team-BHP is the best forum in India, across any genre or category (not just cars).



Yet another significant milestone we recently redlined past is this = our readership crossed 40-lakh unique visitors per month . To say that Team-BHP is growing would be an understatement, and our community has weathered every kind of change in landscape / storm.



From back in 2004, one thing has remained constant = Team-BHP remains the definitive source for user-generated-content on cars. Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram etc. might have groups & a certain volume of comments, but they simply have nowhere the quality, comprehensiveness, expertise or searchability of Team-BHP.

Some noteworthy threads one must revisit on such a momentous occasion:

Congratulations to every BHPian & fan of Team-BHP!

Happy to have been the proverbial squirrel in the incredible bridge that TeamBhp is, to crores of auto enthusiasts.

My sincere thanks to fellow members as well to the ever vigilant moderators whose combined contributions have made this forum a tight knit, secure, trustworthy and mature community.

It is interesting how while redlining the India automotive scene, we have been prudent enough not to cross the redlines of greed and avarice; and it is there that our real strength lies and grows.

This must be said too - it's not just automotive threads that are incredible.
I have received the best advices for movies, TV shows, pets, CCTV cameras, investments, glasses, covid-19, houses, DIY, bicycles and accessories and what not.
Just see the vastness and totally unrelated topics I listed, and this is just scratching the surface.

You are likely to receive more useful information on a topic here than on dedicated forums for said topic.

Those who haven't tried, try shifting gears section once.

Truly fantastic place to be.

Congrats to TBHP and all the TBHPians ! This is indeed a huge milestone and speaks of the power of this community and forum! Thanks to all the Mods too who get the perfect content to keep all of us excited to visit the forum many times day! I have been a member now for 10+ years and still every day I visit the forum, I learn something new and am excited to read the threads.

[Siddarth_Ramani]

A very warm congratulations. I have been part of this community as a reader since time immemorial and I'm still 20. Icing on the cake is I got my registration approved only a week back. I still spend atleast one hour daily irrespective of any exams or busy schedule whatsoever. Team BHP is one addiction which I have no plans to quit anytime in the future.

[ABHI_1512]

Congratulations to all, that’s simply some staggering numbers. To be counted and to be able to contribute to the forum in whatever little ways I can feels great when you come across these kind of readership that the forum commands.

In this age of social media where the apps have turned into a pile of garbage and where abuse and trolling is the norm, Team-BHP still comes across as a forum which makes reading across the sections, a wonderful experience. Of course, there are unwanted posts in the forum as well but the moderators have kept the slate clean with their hard work. So kudos to everyone who have contributed in making forum achieve such viewership among the non members as well. May the light glows further

[Raghunath Singh]

Congratulations to the entire TBHP family. A big thumbs up to all those who keep providing information, updates, reviews etc. Also, a special shout-out for all the Admins and Mods for the reviews and keeping the discussions healthy and on track.

Have benefited a lot over the years from this forum, just not restricted to automotive information.

Keep rocking fam!

[PaddleShifter]

Congratulations to the entire team of admins/mods and members, old and new.

The USP of user generated content is that the reliability of the data is much higher compared to a small group of say 6-10 people creating data/car reviews etc.

Best wishes to the forum!!

Dearest Team

With great Power comes great Responsibility


God bless you GTO, and the whole Moderator Team for your selfless, tireless, relentless efforts in achieving this amazing milestone and sharing this great Moral Responsibility towards our Indian Automotive Society.

Congratulations to every BHPian & fan of Team-BHP!

Hearty congratulations all those who have managed teambhp so very effectively, maintaining its quality to the best possible standards.

Much of the popularity is for the always totally unbiased, sometimes very kind, thankful, warm and forthcoming threads and posts with bouquets in deserving cases. Or else teambhp is ruthless, critical, unrepenting and unforgiving in cases of lapse/s by either by any individual/s or bodies or firms or officialdom or companies who deserve brickbats and criticism for either their misdeeds or omissions or commissions.

Teambhp's no-nonsense approach has been its hallmark that has attracted and continues to glue one and all to the forum for its totally unbiased opinions.

[kvsriki]

These are huge milestones, congratulations to everyone who has contributed and has been a part of this. Hats off to the founding team, moderators and all the senior/distinguished members.

I accidentally came across this forum a little over a month back, while searching for ownership reviews to help me with the decision to finalize my first car booking. Have read so many interesting posts about reviews, travelogues, accessories, spare parts, service and many more topics. It has become to tough to trust any other source especially for automobiles and related topics. Thank you very much to everyone who has made me love this forum!!

[Hayek]

Congrats GTO, Mods and all the fantastic BHPians who make this forum not just the best Automotive Forum in India but the best Forum by far on the entire web. It’s not easy to maintain quality as you scale, but you guys have done it. Hats off.

[mindshack]

Kudos to the mods and all the contributors over the years!
I can only heartily congratulate knowing that I find the most honest reviews from the mods, some really insightful opinion and experiences shared by the members and total non-sense forum free from advertisers.
Cheers to more higher and bigger achievements.

[adisan]

First and foremost, full credit to the founders and moderators. It is their vision, strategy, execution that has brought Team-BHP this far. Given that the content is contributed by voluntary members (as compared to paid experts), maintaining the quality at such high standards is solely because of the strict processes for membership approval and content moderation. A big shout out and huge respect to the moderators for their tireless efforts!

Very frequently I get reminded of Doordarshan in its initial days, when as a single channel it used to cover news, current affairs, sports, music, movies, agriculture - any and every field. Similarly Team-BHP is not just for cars and bikes, but serves as an excellent source for many fields of knowledge.

For more than a decade I have benefitted from the content contributed by the esteemed members of this forum. Now I hope that I am also contributing, at least in small measure.
