Hello all.
Well we’ve been operational now for a week and I would like to thank all of you for making it a great one. The first week saw over 50 users join, 2000 visits and over 41,000 page views. The response has been far better than expected. During the week we sneakily added a new feature that allows you to “like” a post on our forums on Facebook. This is a great way to share a thread you like with other people. We’ve also fixed a few of the bugs that were mentioned such as the menu problems in Internet Explorer and problems with smilies posting properly. If you notice anything annoying or have an idea for a new feature, do tell us, we’re listening.
Week In Review
This is a new aspect of the site we plan to try keep happening. The best posts/ threads that are noticed may get mentioned especially if there are some great quotes!
The first week saw discussions about Crime tagged the most. These weren’t necessarily the most popular discussions however with the Confessions thread ruling supreme. Also popular were the quirks and food threads. While most of the discussions seem relatively light-hearted there are hints of some serious discussions and debates occurring in the future.
If there are any excellent posts made, post them in the Quote of the Day thread. Each week we will skim posts from this thread as nominations for the best weekly post. The best weekly post may be included in the weekly review (with suitable context)


I have noticed there are new badges and some badges have disappeared all together (by some I mean the black square for 100 posts) If other would like it, I was wondering if we could have a list of what badges there are and what you get them for. Or something like that. I only want to know for curiosity’s sake.
I removed the post count badges purely because there were no graphics made yet (black square = temp). There is a “Day 1″ badge that is for everyone who joined on the first day. Hover over any badge and you will see a simple description of the badge.
