We keep losing nodes..... :S.
Update thread title, please.

Go ahead, let us know when the client fork is ready, fork the blockchain and we'll see who is ready to switch to PoS.

what is loosing nodes,bitcoin?
I'm up to 15 connections now. Am I right to assume that you are not actually verifying transactions on the Bitcoin network unless you are also allowing outbound traffic?
Yes.
Ah, ok. I just opened up port 8333 and noticed that my number of active connections went from 8 to 10.
Congrats, you are now allowing outbound traffic and not merely a leach upon other nodes.

So once that port is opened (port forwarded), what does it actually do for the bitcoin-qt client that's different from before?
Necessary to act as a full node, otherwise you will be limited to 8 incoming connections with no outgoing connections.

When I checked in periodically during the week we were in the 500s and 600s
900 is actually not too bad

Oh, okay , thanks.
+6000, well that's more like it!!

Reality isn't as bad as you think

Oh, ok. I thought I remember someone on here saying before that you weren't actually running a full node on your bitcoin-qt client unless you opened up additional ports on your firewall. Is that true? I'm not sure why opening up more ports would make you a full node unless it's because you can process more traffic or something.
Yes, You need port 8333 open ... you can test here:

Tcp port 8333 enables communication between the bitcoin clients.

and with future improvements it will be easier to sync and run a full node 
Please excuse my ignorance, but what is meant by running a "full node"? How is this different than running the bitcoin-qt client? I'm not trying to be a smart a$$ or anything, I just don't know and want to understand it better.
