Thanks, and happy new year to all puzzlers
I'm always happy when the transition to a new year on the site runs smoothly
Pretty soon the site will be 7 years old (!)
I was going to post on 1/7 to congratulate mparisi (and pnm as well, I assume) for having an account for 6 years. when was the site first launched? And how many and how big were the first day's puzzles?
Hi, jaek, I believe the site was launched by mid november 2009 (particularly myself I am "in the club" since Aug 25, 2010).
I have an old "document", a printout (Sep 01, 2010) of the ranking and, at that time, the "pioneers" (first week) were (unless some of them have changed the user's name) the following (around 24 players in the first week):
mparisi 237 days
mpopeskov 237
amshamay 237
min 237
pnm 237
cov 237
one8421 236

The week finishing on Sep 01, 2010, bereklauw awarded 447 points, munters 331, and mparisi, one8421, nikuniku, finkelm, and pnumbrs 323. At that time there were no bonus points, since these commenced in 2011 (the 1st of January I believe).
