Howdy.
It's our third birthday. I'm a bit late with this. Apparently, most of you think we should sell the site to a foreign power and buy cels. In a somewhat ironic fashion, the lobster machine has finally lost a poll and nobody seems to dislike our name.
Things are changing 'round here...
I have a long State of the Union address with notes about what we're planning over the next year, but it'll probably have to wait until tomorrow.
For now, how about some fun stats?
People who have userids under 100 and have visited in the last week include (in order of registration):
chibijin, dkereihana, glimmer77, flippy, rheytarian, morganv, e, mina, blueheaven, pale, weyrlady, islanders, spinizuey, hazelrahfiver, sheanel, lavainia
Items added to the database:
Year 1: 9,500
Year 2: 20,000
Year 3: 29,000
Number of images currently serving:
184,000+
Unhappy thought of the year:
Christmas Day server crash. Being hungry, cold, slightly bleeding, and alone on the floor of the server room for 8+ hours straight while the rest of the world was eating turkey and sitting pretty.
Happy thought of the year:
Seeing multiple Rubberslug members I've never met having passionate conversations about everything right and wrong with this site on a web board I had never before visited.
It's been quite an adventure. The site will evolve more this year than all previous years combined to stay in tune with the needs of all the collectors that are sticking with it. We have a new server. The long-delayed rewrite is currently in progress. Good things are happening here. More on this tomorrow.
Thanks for supporting the site.
