On November 14th, YWS will turn one year old! To be precise, it'll turn that old sometime around 7 p.m. EST.

YWS has been extremely successful in that space of time, which I think really speaks to the quality of members here. We got the thinkers, the writers, the dreamers, and the chatters. And everyone gets along really well; there are some disputes between members, but nothing that even constitutes a minor problem. So thank you everyone for being good people :D

Now as YWS turns one year old, I want to set a lofty goal; namely, 900 registered members by November 14th. Thanks to word of mouth and advertising on writing.com, we gained 125 members in September (the next highest was 84 back in February, and it was only 50 in August). By Oct. 9th at 10:15 p.m. EST, we've already added 45 new members for the month of October!

900 is a huge number to reach in just a little over a month, but we're already going to hit at least 850 by November 14th, so it's only 50 more members to get. To do this, I need everyone to tell their friends about this site. Don't ask them to register or anything like that, just point them to the site. Then, if they like it, encourage them to register. But please don't have friends register that are never going to post. If every active member just gets .33 friends to sign up, we'll hit 900 members easily. So if you got a third of a friend hanging around somewhere, ask him/her to check out YWS!

Most definitely a birthday party :D

We've definitely surpassed 800, which was my original goal. If new membership continues at its current rate (approx. 4 members per day for October; real rate is 4.47), we'll hit 907 by November 14th.

Cool!

I'll try to find someone to ask...

Though my blog's the problem. I don't want people from school reading my blog. :P

Then you ban them from your blog. Personally i've just made my blog entirely private, my thoughts need to be expressed in more detail, meaning that people can't read them.

Anywho, I think i've brought a few people to this site. I think I gave Snoink the link when I was leaving TYWC. And there's Slothman etc etc.

Lately I haven't even been checking the site.

Wow, its not long then. And yeah, my friends read my blog. Its kind of embarrassing but fun. I will try to get more people joining, it might be unlikely. Because some people (well most) think a writing site is 'gay' and stupid.

THEY'RE NOT MY WORDS!

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
