After spending the better part of 6 months working on this, it is nice to finally sit back, enjoy and watch everyone use it.

In these first few weeks of v1.0 I've come to some conclusions that are far different than what I was expecting with the site.

I - People must not like rating other profiles. Since the ratings were reset a bit ago, I've been noticing most profiles have only been rated a couple times. Definitely thought profile rating would be a bigger hit (especially since you get a point for each profile rated!)

II - Tags are a lot more fun than* I thought they would be. On other 'social networking' sites, tags have never really held my interest. It could be that this is a smaller knit community...but I think it is the ease of reverse tracing conversations back and forth between profiles. I read ALL of your conversations.

III - The moderation system blows. In theory it is great, I just got lazy and poorly implemented it. I'll make it better, I swear (or else I'll make Eric do it).

IV - Database whores are dominating the points. I kind of expected this in the beginning, as this is mostly due to a lack of users. However, with the current trends, even if we had 1000's of users, only like 8 people would be rating profiles (hint hint).

V - Finally, our hokey badge system may have actually worked. You people seem to be enjoying the badges as much as Eric and I do. This calls for only one thing: we need to make more.

Anyway, thanks again for using the site. I'm having a blast watching all of this unfold.

* VI - Addendum. No matter how many times I proofread a dev log entry before posting, I ALWAYS find a typo later and have to log into the database and fix it.
