Pretentious rhetoric aside:
* The userbase seem to have matured rather, anbd is no longer so easily trolled.
* Nightmare sash hasn't inflated as much as I'd predicted.
* Sphere Sidekick, on the other hand, has inflated far more than I'd thought, probably as an effect of the Science Camp '09 Portal memes.
* Rigs are far less frequent, probably as a result of the recession passing.
