[c=#666666][i]1)[/i][/c] New SW user Daily Registrations, has Multiplied in recent days.
[c=#666666][i]2)[/i][/c] There have been [b]at least [big]"100's"[/big] of new arrivals from Yahoo Answers[/b], over the past 3-4 days. A number of new registrants may also be signing up with the intention to check back later, and many are already active on the site, without much public posting.
[c=#666666][i]3)[/i][/c] [b]Most of SW's activity doesn't actually occur publicly in posts.[/b] Posting & Commenting may make up only ~10-20% of the site's usage activity. [i](Rough Estimate - This is difficult to quantify)[/i].
[c=#666666][i]4)[/i][/c] We had already been preparing [i](in the past couple of weeks and months)[/i] Similar Worlds for growth and expansion, before any knowledge of Yahoo Answers shutting down. Preparation will be completed after a couple more critical developments are released, such as Categories (Group Consolidation).
[c=#666666][i]5)[/i][/c] We are making things in such a way, that users will still be able to post in "Groups" (after being merged/consolidated), but they will be categorized in a hierarchical manner. (Grandparent > Parent > Child)
[c=#666666][i]6)[/i][/c] Users will likely be able to create (suggest) "Groups", after the major changes are completed. (This is our idea for now, but can't yet be guaranteed, until we get there.)
[c=#666666][i]7)[/i][/c] [b]We have never actually "Promoted" Similar Worlds yet[/b], as we were not yet satisfied with the organization and range of features available. Once some major developments are made over the coming months, we intend to promote and expand Similar Worlds. Users should be able to expect incoming growth and activity from new users, over the coming months.
