From 12:01 am GMT to 11:59 pm GMT June 27th, 2010, YWS held its second ever Review Day. We went into it a bit brash and headstrong, and I think we're all a little bit wiser for having survived this day.

Dude, respect x1000.

Ah, So sorry I missed out on this one. Blame my mother for banning me from the internet all weekend long.

Woot woot.

Ben, old boy. My respect for you just grew immensely.

We are awesome. That is all.

This is why YWS rocks.

Also, this is why Nate rocks. Only a man as great as he would be kickin as to put all of these wicked stats together for us to admire!

GO YWS!

The point of this is to put shame on us all. Did anyone else notice how Ben, Lily, tatra and skins covered a HUGE chunk of the words?

Congrats to everyone though! Twas an epic day

And here I was, contemplating using that! D:

Mr. Knightley did the 400th

That was 100% on purpose. Trust me.

Anyways, congrats to everyone, especially Ben! You went above and beyond, my friend.

Dude. I knew I should've used that word!

I did the 500th review...

Me

Without me... you guys would be nothing. Nothing, I tell you!

I'm surprised I typed that many characters... I only did six reviews. Oh well, that's why I'm cool. Blooming hell, Ben... did you have an adrenaline rush or something? I promised Kamas that I would eat you so that she could beat you, but it's a bit too late now really.

Lol, wow!

Number 200, baby!

And also, if we're getting these kind of stats after every review day, let's keep it up! XD
