Nice work, naming aside, I would suggest maybe if possible add an IRC channel (you don't have to host your own server or anything, Freenode or Quakenet etc is fine). It could help build up a community whilst things are slow, and registration is still invite only it seems.

Thanks! I hadn't thought about having an IRC channel. I'm trying to keep up with the invitations. Didn't honestly expect that much interest. :)

I hope the website is still usable (I'm monitoring 'top' here and ruby/nginx is still constantly below 25%).

I'll probably not be setting up an IRC channel today/tonight as it's pretty late where I am, but may consider it in the future.
