The Poker 425 blonde Forum - Progress Report

[tikay]

As some of you may know, I got a bit stroppy & headmasterish this afternoon, & deleted some dodgy stuff.  I feel kinda bad about that, so I took refuge from my conscience by taking a look at our Forum stats. These are automatically generated by the Forum Software.

The figures for September are correct as at 7.30pm today, so if you doubled them, it would be a reasonable extrapolation of our September Stats.

All figures are PER MONTH, NOT cumulative.

So, it's clear there is a strong growth graph. We don't necessarily subscribe to "big is beautiful", rather we feel "good is good".

Just thought I'd share that stuff with you. I sorta hope it helps you to understand why I get a bit mardy sometimes, or over-protective. blonde really is growing into something special. OK, it's still the baby of British Poker Fora, but as far as I am concerned, it's the prettiest baby of the lot, & could well grow up into a a very fine site indeed.

And it goes without saying - but I'd better say it - the Forum, like all other Fora, reflects it's Membership.

I will be letting you know officially about a new addition to Team Blonde shortly, & also appointing a team of Moderators, to assist me in helping to keep the Forum "just so". I can no longer manage it solo, or even with the mighty Ironside's help, so we gonna share the load a bit wider. Then, on occasions like today, maybe the other Moderators will take a more liberal view. Or maybe not - but I wont have to "act God" any more!
