Dear members of the RPR,What an incredible week! By now I'm certain you've noticed our new logo, and filled out our two question survey if you're interested in getting a T-shirt with this logo on it.
But that's not all! This week saw us pass 7000 users. Seven thousand. That deserves a standing ovation!
Things have been quiet on the news front. I've been puttering around behind the scenes, but much of it has been foundational work or bug fixes -- and I never felt quite right about making a full news post about a small change.
Some of those changes were super convenient, like being able to stay logged in from two devices at once (such as your smart phone and your desktop computer). Some were really snazzy, like in the next few days you might notice that the emails you get from us look much nicer. And some were completely invisible to everyone but me, but are the sorts of changes that will make creating new features faster and more reliable in the future. Lots of programming is like that: long, slow, tedious... but with a big payoff. Eventually.
I expect this next month to be much the same, with lots of little tweaks but probably no big announcement about those tweaks. Keep an eye on our Facebook and twitter feeds if you want to follow along with those micro-updates. In the meanwhile, I'm about to start releasing the winners of the tutorial contest. Remember them? The tutorial contest happened back in April, but I've been sitting on the winning entries until you all forgot about them, so it would seem like something shiny and new instead of a repost of something you'd just read on the forums. Clever, right? Over the next few weeks, were going to see some awesome info from some awesome members.
Until then, congrats to everyone for reaching 7k, and happy role-playing!

Just had one of those new emails, looking good
Couldn't agree with you more, Rynh! This is quite a milestone, in masses and in community! Huzzah for us!
Huzzah for us!
@illantis The winners were revealed months and months ago. I just didn't do the publication until now. Definitely not because I am usually so tired after work every day I can barely keep my eyes open. Right? 
But I think it's going to work out for the best whatever the reasons.

7K of people, and still this community manages to be one of the friendliest and simply most amazing communites I have ever been a part. Now that's an achievement! Congratulations!
