The past 9 months have flown by. And while I was listening to the radio on the drive home the other day, Renegades came on and I spent some time reflecting on our exodus and the things we have accomplished since moving.
A short list of the things that the underdogs have accomplished
- I built a forum. There are days I struggle to figure out how to sync my email to my phone, so I'm still impressed by this
- We added bibliothecary as an admin
- We've built up a staff of 57 volunteer mods who keep theophania, bibliothecary, wordsy and I sane.
- Theo is building a site. And it's amazing. I can't wait for the launch so you can see what we've been doing behind the scenes.
- We've had 20 articles written, edited, and prepped for publication. We need more though. Expect an announcement on that soon
- We've averaged a giveaway every 2 weeks since July- and we're full through the end of the year!
- We're averaging 10 MILLION pageviews a month
- And still averaging 150 new users a month
And let's not forget the amazing things you guys have done
-You made sure our server costs are covered for the next year- we are so happy with the hosting package with Dreamhost- it's been problem-free compared to HostGator.
-Ann612 won the national RESOLVE Hope Blog of the Year award (with your help from votes!)
- We helped blow Cle's fundraising goal for the 5K she had planned out of the water. She had hoped to raise $5,000 before she passed. With the help of TCF, her final posthumous total was $13,922
- According to Diapers for the D, they received over 11,000 diapers from TCF members- which was 1/3 of the total diapers they collected!
A special shoutout to our top posters of the last week
So...
All hail the underdogs
All hail the new kids
All hail the outlaws
Let's finish out our first year on proboards strong!
