Fellow ACGM'ers, listen up! We are currently at the 972-user plateau. It has taken us almost three months to gain 372 users. While this sounds like a lot, we need more. We need to attract users from here, here, and anywhere else you can think of!

Also worthy of noting is the lack of edits from our members. The ACGM community widely appreciates the effort put forth by the select few who toil over our articles in need of editing, but we need more people to help. The most helpful part of the site will aid you in your quest to be amongst the All-Time Top Users. If you want to practice your skills, try it here!

This is a crucial time for us. What with the start of the NFL and college football, and the race to the MLB postseason, we need to act now!

We cannot have articles like this, rather, we need articles like this. Remember, we need to write with class and in turn display our superiority over other sports sites.

"Long live the 'chair!"

I think we need some more British users. There's only so much Americans know about snooker and F1 to help with the wikying I'm doing... Sadly, the idea of a sports blog is not a well-known one in Britain.

Also, in real terms, I don't think we have 973 users. I think we have about 50 users, because some of the other users signed up and haven't used the site for ages. E.g. User:Wtt02005, User:JuTMSY4, User:Steaksammich etc. (Perhaps the powers that be can delete their user profiles from the count after, e.g. three months of inactivity? So we get a true number.

You'd be surprised how often people come back. And you can always try and bring them back in -- email, talk pages, etc.

I put a message on Crookedcap's page a few weeks ago about doing some Indianapolis 500 reports. Not heard from him since... :(

He showed up a few days ago (I make it sound like being awful). We have to understand that it is possible they may reappear - I went through a lull in August (which cost me Recent Top User #1 for a while :( ). I had computer problems - and may not have an Internet connection come November. So there may be external influences in these cases.

Looking at the rankings, there are only about 50-70 users that have ever contributed at all.

Maybe some of the many usernames you mentioned who visit infrequently have lives, unlike some of us (myself included) :-) I know if I ever find the mystical land of a real full-time job, I may drop off the Armchair planet

Wait till you see the redesign the team has been vigorously working on over the past month. It will be pretty cool.

a week or so, we will be giving the admins a sneak peak for some feedback . . . before we go live with it.
