This makes Netscape the number 77 site listed. That's out of 20,259,197 sites, people.
I am personally very proud to be a member of such a vibrant, useful, informative on-line community. Thanks Netscape.

*AND* i would like to point out that these social networking sites tend to break out in YEAR TWO. so, netscape--if AOL stays the course with the current format--will break out to 15-20M this year... I'm 100% sure of it.

One of the links I commonly post contacted me and told me that they had so much traffic from netscape that they had to upgrade their server.
shameless plug...

I don't know, but I do know that there is discussion about that very thing among the 'addicts'.

I agree with that. So that means that we need to improve the 'quality' of our content. I think we have very good content, but we need to improve it. For instance, I think the Front Page should be split into four section with each section containing ten 'front page stories' based on votes as they are now. The sections could be the top channels on Netscape like Politics, News, Religion and Health and Fitness. That way instead of having just 25 stories there would be 40. Further, each section would have the 'top contributors' and a Netscape Anchor recommends section along with a NewsQuake (which we do NOT promote enough) blog dedicated to the stories in that channel. Also, there could be a voted on section for the 'Op-Ed of the Day' in that particular channel (and all of the channels for that matter). Basically, it would change the architecture of the site to have 9 pages with four channels each. There are 33 channels now.

Be careful what you wish for. This forum might get to be like the comment area on woot.com during a woot-off. So many people, entering so many inane comments, so quickly -- it's nearly impossible to keep up just reading them, let alone getting anything useful out of the torrent of B.S.

from above
So, then the question remains how do you choose the channels for the homepage of Netscape? Well, I think that has to be based on registrations. Things that people are most interested in are the things that they are most likely to vote and comment upon. So, if for some reason Art & Design is commented on heavily and people are registering for that purpose (a simple check-box in the registration area would do it) then that channel would move to the front and the much less heavily commented and registered on Religion would get knocked off.
They kind of have it set up this way now, but it is by channel not with several channels per page. Heck, you could even have it (now THIS would be cool) where the individual Netscape user (you have to register to make this work) could customize their own front page. That would cut down on some of the spam as well. I don't know, I'm just running off at the mouth with some ideas I've had.

We have to welcome new registrants. We have to be nice at first and not blow them out of the water.
Plus, let's remember that those of us who have been on here and active for a year or more we know who we are, we know things about each other and so when the 'new kid' says something contrary to what 'everybody knows' then we blow them out of the water. Heck, I did it just the other day without stopping to realize what I was doing.
We've got to stop and remember that we were all newbies once too. Help the new kids out.

BTW, a more important number than unique visitors is page views; over 100 million! Congrats, James!

Another question and not just because I posted this. Why is this story not at the very top of the Netscape anchors recommend list? Further, why are they not touting it and crowing about it like some of the addicts? If this were my company and not just my favorite site I would be blowing this up everywhere and pumping this story for all it is worth (which I am anyway). Yet, we have only four (I think) Scouts that voted for this story with no comments and nothing from the Anchors. Why is that? Are they not as proud as we are?
I don't know, but we have to promote the 'Scape and not just live here.

Hey, thanks for the kind words and high-octane enthusiasm. It's much appreciated, as are your suggestions regarding the home page. The reason we're not putting this story in the Anchors Recommend box is that it would appear too glaringly self-promotional. But yes, we're delighted by the news.

Possible? It is inevitable. As the Borg say, "Resistance to Netscape and it's kick a$$ members is futile."

I am proud to be a member of this distinguished community! We do have free-for-all once in a while (Hey, you gotta kick it up a notch every now and then!) Intellectually, it is very stimulating, and the gang here is out of this world!
Of course, like writing, cooking, lovemaking...It can always be improved with effort and experimentation!!
LOL!

I can say no more--nor less--than to say the N-scape has become a part of daily life, a part that provides an ever-available place for that great gift, self-expression.
A hug for all!
