The Review Day Check-In Thread

Nate · 2011-01-29T07:01:54Z

Our next big Review Day begins in about 17 hours from the date of this post. This is a big one folks; we're going for 573! Can we make it? All I know is that if each YWSer who will log on during Review Day did just one review, we'd easily hit 573. So before it all starts, let us know your personal goal! And as it goes on, check in here from time to time to let us know how it's going. By the way, if you can only do one review, it's okay! I can only do one or two reviews, so you'll be in good company :pirate3:

Hmm, it's probably the accent over the u that messes it up. I'll have to take a look and see how the database encodes that.

Edit

Fixed! And it's been used 18 times thus far! I wonder how many times schadenfreude has been used though...

I'm going to do as much as I can with out burning out. I'll set my goal towards 20, but you never know. Hopefully, I'll get more.

Wow, we went past it so quickly I never even saw 0! Straight to -2 and beyond.

I've done more than I thought I would today, so I'm off. Keep it up everybody!

Six done for me so far -- I'm going to try to fit in one more before the day is over.

TRIPLE CRIKEY

Not only have we hit the 573 review goal already, but y'all are surging past it!

I'll have a whole statistical topic later, but you can review a lot of the stats for yourself now:
review_day.php

I'll say more later, but for now, I'm just in awe.

You said it. How many reviews did you get done in the end?

My rank last time I looked was 42. Shameful total of 4 reviews. But hey, better than none!

Wow, that was amazing; I loved seeing the massive negative number of reviews left to go! Way to go YWSers! You rocked it!
