Milestone Not even a day old and this place feels like home.

[Crystal]

Thank you all for joining, seriously. I opened the site not even 24 hours ago at this point and I can't tell you how much joy it's brought getting to interact with people I haven't posted with in years! Talking about the old days, seeing the names again, on a forum tangentially related to our original forum home...this is amazing, and you're all incredible. Makes it all worthwhile

 

[Crystal]

Almost 300 posts in 24 hours, thank you, GW, this has been a really fun first day

 

[Crystal]

...we're seriously closing in on 800 posts already? Wow! I thought we might get a hundred or so over the first week, but this is amazing!! Thank you all for joining, I truly want this to be our new forum home.

Probably because I'm here.

the realist in me wants to remind us to temper our expectations and wait to see how things are going in a month.

Absolutely, but just seeing all these usernames again is a trip in itself.

 

[Nebulous]

Thank you all for joining, seriously

 

[Crystal]

Oh we're definitely keeping our expectations in check, I'm just over the moon to see so many people giving this a chance. It's amazing.

You tell em, Argon (18).

Edit: Can we tag people in posts?

Should be able to @Fool's Requiem

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Ah, I can't type the name, then add an @. I have to type the @ first. Got it.

 

[Crystal]

But you can confirm you can actually tag people?

Yeah, sorry.
@Crystal

 

[Crystal]

Yeah, sorry.
@Crystal

Thanks, had me paranoid most groups couldn't use tagging

it's not very intuitive. @eye doesn't search for names with "Eye" in it.

Unfortunately not, but it will find @The Eye in the Sky! if you search for The

Well we're already over 1000 posts, approaching 100 topics, and approaching 50 members.

Not a bad start. Hopefully it keeps up.

Far better than I was expecting, and so much fun chatting with everyone again

And we’re pulling from a wider range of members than I expected in all honesty. I wasn’t sure how far back of a reach @Crystal had, and I only really saw the really old heads posting sporadically in the Facebook group. Most of the success we’ve witnessed so far is attributed to people spreading the word, which is pretty awesome.

Yeah, definitely word of mouth has been our best asset so far!

 

[Cole]

yeah, I think I've hit up nearly everyone from my steam, discord, and facebook friends list thst might be interested.

I appreciate you, and everyone else, doing exactly that. I can't believe some of the names that have returned already, purely by word of mouth. Just amazing!

 

[Boots]

There's a few people I could reach out to yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Aww, that would be great!

I'm still hoping to see some names showing up, like Crazy Jamie, Rick52, Rachel, and a few others, but I'm so happy to see those that have shown up so far, it's truly incredible

 

[Boots]

I think Alu still has Jamie on Facebook. He's just too important to message people. Maybe I'm thinking of Erik W. What was his username again?

What that shortkut?

 

[Boots]

That's the one!

 

[Crystal]

That's the one!

He'd be a great one to get back on board, too!

 

[Lunar Kreskents]

I messaged shortkut on FB a couple hours ago. And Jamie. Hopefully they stop by!

Aww, yay!! I hope they do stop by, that would be wonderful

 

[Lunar Kreskents]

Also a few other people that were in my FB friends, Jake, Eva, Karen, Tom, Lia (Chris also probably messaged). Don't remember all their usernames for sure, a couple could be here already not sure...

[Crazy Jamie]

Great success!

Jamie!! So great to see you here

 

[Crazy Jamie]

I'm actually in the middle of a really important training session, just no one can see my screen and they think that me signing up was just me taking notes. But I do have to concentrate on this, so I'll catch up with you all later. It's great to see everyone.
