Hey all,

I've been incredibly busy since returning home for the holidays, so as is to be expected it looks like I've missed 10+ pages. I have a lot of catching up to do when I'm back to St. John's!

I'm leaving today for Costa Rica, and won't be back in business until January 7th. I just wanted to make a point to pop my head in and say that I hope you all are having a fantastic holiday, and that you and yours have an exciting and happy New Year.

Cheers guys, let's make 2013 the best of SSP yet. I'll talk to you all then.

- Copes

No worries, Signal. I'm sure that most members (including me) will help out in whichever way to make the mod experience run more smoothly for you.

Townie709 · #**6723** Posted **Dec 27, 2012, 5:41 PM**

Statbass, you could be our second mod as well if Signal doesn't want to. If he doesn't want to, we can't make him

And enjoy your holiday Copes!!

I'd definitely help out, but I don't think I can fully commit to being a moderator. With a new job and a baby coming soon I'm afraid I'd be lacking in my moderator duties.

Aww, CONGRATS!

I threw my hat into the ring in the other thread.

I went to Stavanger today (the better half wanted to stop at a couple of places). I couldn't get a shot of everything going up there (WOW, there's a lot... and I didn't even go handy to the hotel) but I got a few new-to-me updates. I'll post them in the St. John's Retail thread once they're ready.

Thanks and good stuff, I think you'll be a great moderator!

I sold a picture. Three, in fact - in one order. My first Zenfolio order.

And I happened to be out having lunch with my FIANCE (Aaahhh!) when the email came through alerting me. So I got to do a little happy dance.

It wasn't classy or anything. Just DQ, ha! But still... awesome.

SignalHillHiker · #**6728** Posted **Dec 27, 2012, 8:06 PM**

Aaahhh!!! We're here!

jeddy1989 · #**6729** Posted **Dec 27, 2012, 8:07 PM**

AND WE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY IN OUR OWN SUB-FORUM!!!!

SignalHillHiker · #**6730** Posted **Dec 27, 2012, 8:08 PM**

I feel like we won the right to host the Olympics or something, ha! This is going to be awesome. We'll be able to get so many more people to participate, I bet.

EDIT: I keep clicking on St. John's in breadcrumb trail. I love it. And viewing it in the list from the main Canada section... aaahhh!

Our little city keeps chugging along. I hope this boom lasts for 1,000 years, ha!

jeddy1989 · #**6731** Posted **Dec 27, 2012, 8:11 PM**

Look at how perdy our city's name looks there among the others

SignalHillHiker · #**6732** Posted **Dec 27, 2012, 8:15 PM**

I'm practically doing curtsies at my desk - blushing and everything, ha!

Townie709 · #**6733** Posted **Dec 27, 2012, 8:45 PM**

I'm so glad we got our own subforum!!! It's soo much easier to navigate and we don't have to be afraid of cluttering up the Atlantic section by making new threads! Hopefully our membership will continue to grow and we will have LOTS to talk about in the upcoming years! Thank you mike!

I love how we are now visible right from the main Canada page and even from the main skyscraperpage forum website!! AND, we can see just how many people (lurkers!) are viewing our section! I LOVE this new subforum!

SignalHillHiker · #**6734** Posted **Dec 27, 2012, 8:49 PM**

Cheers!

Checked from the hotel, and look at this. A brand new forum!

Congrats guys, just goes to show that our diligent project tracking has paid off!

SignalHillHiker · #**6736** Posted **Dec 27, 2012, 10:15 PM**

Yay, Copes!

Have fun, BTW!

If you're wondering why our lovely Ljubov Orlova is still in port:

Poor weather conditions have once again delayed the departure of a decrepit Russian cruise ship that is docked in St. John's.

I prefer Kim Stockwood's version, but St. John's Waltz is one of my songs. My favourite song about St. John's.

PoscStudent · #**6738** Posted **Dec 27, 2012, 10:41 PM**

17 people are currently viewing the St. John's subforum.

Switched it to Kim for you. And yes, I've been watching that as well. It's wonderful to have some idea how many we have.

We peaked at around 30 viewers earlier and, for most of the time that we've had our own section, we've had from 1/3 to 2/3 as many viewers as Halifax. I'm basing it on them because I have no idea how many we should have - but I imagine anything approaching half as many as Halifax is very good for our city our size and with our number of projects.

Townie709 · #**6740** Posted **Dec 27, 2012, 11:18 PM**

Today, or anytime this week for that matter, is probably not a great time to measure our "attendance" here because it is a weird week. Some people are off work, others spending time with family, others on vacations, etc. I imagine there isn't very many people reading now as there is more exciting things happening. I'd say we will get a pretty good idea of how many we have by mid January.

About the orlova.. I just want it gone. ASAP!
