Donations Reached Goal!

[matt]

Due to the largesse of some very generous donors, our donations goal of $500 has been met.

So a couple of things will happen:
1) As promised, I'll unlock the mysterious Dezignstuff Surfacing Episodes. @Maha Nadarasa has been pretty active over there. And now the rest of you can see what it's all about.

2) I've got to go to our webhost and talk about upgrading our server to either a private server or a virtual private server. Fewer glitches and faster response.

Here's what our growth has looked like over the past 6 months that CADForum.net has existed. There's the initial spike associated with new sites, then the drop off, and then the real growth.

That's awesome! Does Google up a site on the list if it's a site you visit frequently?

Yes, and also if they see links to it from other places, and a lot of activity on the site, etc...

I've been doing my part. I've started answering questions at "the other place" with links to my FAQ's here.

Depends on how you define "doing my part"....I think your level of ridicule could be improved....

I stand corrected, but some of us don't have your artistic talent . . . or patience.
