Shorah everyone,
I seems to me that since Cyan has invested significant time and money into upgrading something that had been languishing for a very long while, they must be anticipating the need for a renewed public presence and an upgraded set of user forums. I doubt they would invest in something without a good business reason for doing so. Granted, Hannah is a student intern, which means she isn't being paid as much as the other folk there, but I think Cyan still would focus on spending their money wisely. They have been through enough fiscal crises to be cautious about where their money and time goes.
So for my part, I am more than cautiously optimistic!
To me, this is a sign that something big is on the horizon; big enough to warrant preparing for a massive increase in web site traffic and Cyan forum activity. If this is true, then it couldn't happen at a better time or for a better group of folks!
