What up what up-
Well, it's been an exciting couple of days, hasn't it? From 0 to 400-plus registered users in only five days. I know I speak for all of the mods when I say "thank you" - this wouldn't have happened without you all spreading the word.
We're growing and evolving very quickly, and in the immortal words of one Sean Carter, "on to the next one." The next one, in this case, being the super user.
Super users have access to Wake Forest sports information that us regular plebes don't. And they've graciously offered to share some of it with us. Their usernames will be highlighted in green on the left of the computer screen. Further, threads they start will be marked with the light bulb icon. A few super users have already made their presence known on the boards since we launched: DeaconKing, TheIshThatSavedWakeForest, DemonDeacon, and ChildressCrossing, specifically. Two other super users close to the football program will start posting soon, the_Oracle (no, not that clown lectro) and Jared Shelton, who will post under the handle WakeForestRivals. This name is quite apt, because Jared works for the recruiting website Rivals.
Jared gets a lot of good info and tidbits for his site, Deacon Illustrated, and he'll be posting some of them here for our consumption. Some of you may be inclined to follow him over there and get more - we're cool with that. Frankly, I think you all will be pleased by what he brings to the community, and I encourage you all to welcome him. I personally believe both he and Rivals have gotten a bad wrap over the years, as various posters at DeaconSports, in an attempt to protect their brand, have denigrated his reports. (IMO, of course.)
As always, please let us know in the suggestions threads how your user experience can be improved.
On to the next one and Go Deacs!
