Thanks guys, I have so many things on my "to do" list! It's probably easier just to wait until the new skin/site is released later this year though. I'll change his username as it's far too long.
I think it's also easier in the beginning to gain member fast, the bigger it gets (in theory) it should begin to grow itself through word of mouth and such, which it does but it's slow and steady as opposed to a sudden influx of newbies!
