off to "Others" 2/3 already posted here ... and many similar ones as well ... discussion to be continued there thread locked

I like that game a lot ... I played it some 5 years ago ... very nice

this is a good opportunity to promote members to VIP ... after discussion with Martini and bonanova, we would like to show respect to the following people for their contribution to this forum ... itachi-san ... contributed a lot and is always very respectful when disagreeing with others and all around a very mature poster. octopuppy .... despite the low post count, deserves VIP status due to contribution to several discussions in "Others" grey cells ... a regular contributor, has entered new riddles and showed respect to newbies and other members ... for attitude to others and high quality posts there might be a few others, however, these ones definitely deserve it ps: VIP status is not only about post count and is quite subjective

already posted here I searched for "XII VII" but from the homepage - BrainDen.com - top right hand corner ... that's search by Google for my whole website (including forum) because the forum search feature has some issues with searching for 3 and less characters thread locked

google gadgets brought about 73% of visitors yesterday ... the rest is other referrals (sites that linked my web), search engines (eg. search for "brain teasers" or "logic puzzles" or "scary optical illusions") and direct traffic (eg. bookmarks)

no a few milestones (a bit of approximation): 1. February, 2003 - Slovak version was created (static HTML) - old domain hlavolamy.szm.sk (free hosting, simple collection of brain teasers, illusions, paradoxes) 2. February, 2004 - English version was created (static HTML) - simple translation of all content (except a few Slovak IQ tests) 3. March, 2007 - domain BrainDen.com purchased, forum created (phpBB) - new topics created for each solution of brain teasers already collected (new users joining, posting puzzles) 4. January, 2008 - new forum (paid bulletin board system - IPB) purchased - transfer issues (spoilers and smileys manually adjusted for each and every post) there is a lot (really a lot) I could write about ... beginning with frames, moving gifs and java applet menu (terrible) ... having 30 daily visitors ... learning HTML, CSS and then SEO, usability, accessibility ... creating google gadgets (a huge step - a chapter of its own) ... setting standards for the forum ... having great moderators doing magnificent job (Martini and bonanova) ... connecting intelligent people from all around the world ... and much more

I have changed the number of posts needed to make a 'hot topic' from 15 to 30

let's start in "Others" and if there is enough quality contributors then there might be a separate forum section for it

Number of posts needed to make a 'hot topic' = 15 no time period set (and can not be set)
