In the end, although it's been a baptism of fire for jema's hosting, and a bit of a pain in some ways, it's all publicity. Michelle's message suggests that at least some people hearing about us because of this will be interested in the aims and ideas behind the site, and that's got to be good.

There have been undoubted negative aspects to this But fundermentally as long as the server is holding up and we as a site are not paying a surcharge for using more than the expected traffic (i knew I missed something out of the hosting terms and condtions ) then overall the expereince can only be good for us.

I'm suprised that the attention hasn't led to a herd of trolls on the forum - or have you just been vigilant with the delete button?

Is "herd" the right collective noun for trolls?

I wasn't sure but it sounded right.

My favourites are:

A gloat of Tories
An absence of students
A dither of professors
A shuffle of teenagers

Would it be a troop of Trolls?

Actually afaik, we have had one useful comment from a guest and absolutely nothing from the 61,853 page views now registering.

Hi - I am Michelle and I am in the US. I think a lot of hits came from this website: https://www.morningbuzz.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.wow It's a local radio station that dubbed yours the website of the week because of the pads.

I use them but I don't make my own. I buy them online from work at home moms.


Thanks for that Michelle. Dare I ask... What did they say about this on the radio show?
