Today:
350+ members (up from 285 at B2G), roughly
600 posts a day, and
35k pageviews a day
- Posting: photos upload (and land right-side up), videos up to ~60 seconds, paste a screenshot anywhere on the post page and it attaches, picture size picker (small/medium/large/full). Pasted links to GIFs, pictures, YouTube, Twitter/X, Reddit posts, and TikToks all just show the thing now
- Scores: renamed from Scores Only, with a live CFB + college basketball scoreboard tucked in a collapsible bar (Michigan in bold), plus Pick 'em games of the original Scores Only format
- Chat: live room, shows who's in it, lights up a "Chat is ROCKING" banner on every board when it's actually going, highlights your name when someone says it, and counts what you missed in the browser tab. Nothing in chat is saved per tradition
- Hall of Fame: nominate any post with the 🏆 button, five votes enshrines
Board backups
The board now backs itself up every night, and we keep full copies off the server. Restore has been tested live and you have not even noticed. Database, photos, logins, everything, rebuilt from a backup file on a blank machine. So what happened on B2G can never happen again
Money
All in, this relaunch has been very low cost. I greatly appreciate all the generous offers. The way I see it, I am very blessed to have this time and opportunity. I know that this community would help if I were ever in dire need. But right now I am not
The Szn
Two Saturdays away. Board is ready in a way I'm not going to spoil. But there will be Game Day features
Also
There are easter eggs hidden on the board, two categories. Nobody has found either one
Keep the requests coming
