I want to add my own congratulations and assure you that you're going to continue to be flooded with new users. My own network of friends on the Other Site are all packing their things and eyeing their options. I'm pretty sure most of them will jump ship at some point, and right now, it's about 50-50 that they'll come here. (The other major candidate seems to be Scribblit, if you're curious)
I'm glad to hear about the new site design, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss anything about the Other Site. I miss having polls, for instance. But you rock, hard, and I have put in my tent stakes and spread my canvas, and soon I'll have the center pole up.
