What a great result for everyone especially Paul, and Trystan and Sarah for setting up Rootschat in the first place.
I had probs getting in yesterday too - but now I have seen why I don't mind

The nice thing about the Challenge, Jill, has been the willingness not only of people to contribute, but also to volunteer to 'host' the Challenge each of the couple of months its been running since April.
Emily and Manchester Rambler have been superb. I only created the April one!
Lets hope the publicity garners more new members for Rootschat! 20,000 members, here we come!
Such modesty Paul! You created the idea - not only for the Challenge but also for Censuswhack and several other great threads!
Emily & Manchester Rambler have indeed been superb and hopefully others will follow, but without your idea there would be no challenge!
