You guys are an inventive bunch, and we love you for that. At last count, we had about 8,000 open idea reports that had been submitted - that count gets larger every day. It only ever trends upwards.

There are several reasons for this. The first is that some ideas are too big in their scope for any one creator to be able to say 'yay' or 'nay' to. The second is that many of these ideas are good, but not directly relevant to the creator reading them, or good but nobody has the time right now...

Our new voting period has begun, and last month was interesting for how often positions #2 and #3 changed. We prevailed for the majority of the month, ending at #2 with around 4500 votes, all thanks to you guys.
