Just wanted to give everybody a heads-up on a couple things on the Threads site.
1) Growth has been great lately. Just about 50,000 unique people visited the site in the last month. We love that so many people find Threads helpful and engaging and interesting. Thanks goes to you guys for that. The Threads community is just phenomenal.
2) We appreciate all the feedback we've receive on the technical guts behind Threads. We're seriously considering moving the site the vBulletin (the current front-runner) to take advantage of more forum-y features. If you have experience with vBulletin, leave a note below. If you want to suggest an alternative (like one that isn't $200), let us know too. Just keep in mind, a move will be painful. We'll do our best to migrate everything and everyone when the time comes, but things will get lost and take a bit of time to sort out. It's daunting.
3) We'd like to get a few more moderators on board. If you want to be considered, leave a note below. If you can get two other readers to second (and third) your self-nomination (along with the thumbs-up from one of the current moderators), we'll upgrade you to moderator status. The more the merrier.
4) We're going to try out a service on the site that should allow the site to make some more money without cluttering it up with ads. The service is called Skimlinks and it allows us to earn referral money from any links to products already on the site. If it sucks or slows things downs, we'll ditch it.
That's it. Thanks again!
