Nothing special - just thought I'd update folks on a few things.
First, we're up to 160 members now - whee! Officially the stats at the bottom show 162, but 2 of the IDs we use for testing forum features. Of our 160 members, I'd say at least 2/3 of them have logged in within the last 3 days or less. Cool, eh? I don't know the %, but I think it's safe to say we have a good participation rate of members posting as well. For that, I thank everyone!
We're blowing thru the 50,000 free pageviews in less than a week now, so I know members are reading here! (We get 50,000 free page views and then the ads pop back up.)

Just a reminder to be sure to go post on the forum request discussion if you see a plugin you think would be handy, or you have an idea:
virtualsellers.proboards.com/thread/72/list-board-features
There are 4 of us who can add/modify forum features, so your post will get a fairly rapid reply and action (if applicable).

Word is getting out, we're starting to get some non-eBay sellers here, and I hope we can keep up the momentum! Many of us are branching out onto other sites. Also, it's nice to have perspectives about online selling in general from a wide variety of experience.

Our private area vs our public areas - I want to thank everyone for posting on the public areas. You're doing a great job, gang, and I suspect our newer members with low post counts appreciate it! BTW. please, please, please (!) feel free to shameless plug your stuff on our Sell Your Stuff board! It's free advertising for our goodies!
As for the private area (100 posts required to access), I have a different perspective on posts there than I used to have. I've PM'd a few OPs and asked if I could move their topic to the public board, because when reading the topic, there isn't anything that seems private in it. OP usually replies either, "sure move it", or they've told me why they started it in the private area. I appreciate them giving me their "why" and it usually makes total sense (and the discussion does not get moved). Thank you for that insight, it does make a difference now when I wonder if a topic should be moved or not. Usually, when I put myself in your shoes, the topic is right where it should be
* * * * *
Upcoming news - I think we're close to moving to Phase II of the forum, where we set up a shopping page that has our logos and links to our stores. It won't be the same as our own selling website, but it's been part of the vision for this forum since inception. We'll keep you posted as we flesh out this concept.
