Some more stuff about how this site is awesome and going to keep getting more awesome
I'm actively trying to recruit people who might be interested in becoming a regular user at this site. If you are one of those people, reading this message, I salute you. Having received a message from me means that I love you, and that you haven't already come here.
Now, to those of you who have already shown interest in coming here on a regular basis: tell your friends!! The more people who know about this place, the better. And, don't be afraid to post new forum topics! The more there is to talk about, the more people will be able to say, the longer they'll stick around. Don't idle, waiting for people to talk, when you can talk! It may not be your typical approach to community sites, but it's a necessary step in building this one up to a level of activity where we can do whatever we want, and have interesting things to do all the time.
So, as for the progression of the site... I've added the ability to post blog entries for approved users. Use this however the hell you want, it's really just there as fluff. You'll be able to link people directly to a page of your own entries, once I configure a certain module, and you'll also have the opportunity to have your posts be posted on the front page. Or, whatever. It's just there for fun. You could even write fanfic ;D
Soon, the forum's awesomeness will increase a bit when I add the "unread replies" link at the top of the page, which also depends on me configuring that module. That module will also help me make a member list and user pages with your blog entries, so that's something I'm going to work on very soon. Then, I'll start to work towards making the front page's appearance look exactly the way it should, showing categories, tags, author names, post type, post date, and all that fun jazz. Things will only get better as time goes on, so look forward to that. I'm even planning to have a webcomic here at some point in the future.
So this is me pleading with you to make the most of your time while you're here. <3

All I can say is <3
arch I'm so glad you're doing all this
