Remember, the challenge is to get to 1,000 users. The over/under date is July 1st. THAT IS ONLY 10 DAYS AWAY. At 600 users, if each user just gets ONE person to sign up this week - it will mean 1,200 USERS. WE CAN DO THAT!

Assuming all 600 look at this site... I'm guessing half haven't used it for a while, or will not look at this thread by the time it disappears of the new stuff or good stuff page.

Even if only 300 registered users view it, if those 300 gets 1 person this, plus the usual weekly increase, we would have the 1,000 users. And the challenge would be met. WE CAN DO IT!

Question for everyone. Like some of the others here, is there a trick to putting my entire (real) name on an article or do I need to edit each as i create them?

I think if you click "Preferences" on the left, and enter in a "Name" other than your username, it does it. But I'm not sure.

Yeah, that's it... but it's the "Nickname" field (there is no "Name" field).

I think Armchair will only get bigger - for now - via word of mouth and usenet advertising. Once it's large enough to get noticed by advertisers, we can put up one or two adverts and use that money to get spots on radio stations.

Those are just my thoughts, not sure what the founders are thinking.
