@ ISeddieFan101 :

"I know we might not get a WHOLE lot of people to join, but ..."

This kind of reminds me of when I was a member of an environmental activist club in high school. In my senior year, our group started out with around 100 students as members, and by the winter break, we had about 30 left. By the end of the year, maybe around 20.

The point? You can get people to do just about anything once. It's getting them to do it consistently over time that's the real trick.

I can see that a lot of new people are joining, and that's definitely good. But don't forget - They don't even know what this place is yet.

Right now, they're coming out of curiosity, and out of a love for the show, not out of any real interest in this particular website. In other words, don't start celebrating prematurely. It's now about how many people join, it's about how many of them stay.

After they arrive, give it about two or three months, and then we can assess where we stand.
