2000 Darkhearts
So...I don't like to double-communicate the same day...but....We just hit 2,000 members.
TWO.THOUSAND.
- Let me explain you how massive it that is:
We initially 'hit' 1000 back in May, however, we did a clean-up of all those members that had never logged in.
We then hit 1000 again in September - 1 year and 4 months after the founding of DH by Brandy Darkheart.
We have DOUBLED that in 4 months.
We have doubled that even in a context where our vouching system ends up rejecting more than half of the new sign ups.
Darkheart's started with one modest server back in 2023.
We are now managing EIGHT full beast servers with up to 512GB ram.
We are back on 4th traffic position in OS according to Hypergrid Business.
We see it in an stable 60 - 140 active grid users each day.
Think about it: less than 2 years ago Brandy was sitting there thinking 'Imma gonna do this thing...'...fast forward, she has 2,000 Darkhearts roaming around.
It is thanks to Brandy's vision, personal time and financial investment, that many of us have now our virtual home at Darkhearts.
If you see her or Mandy - make sure to share your thanks! (Oh gawd, she's going to hate me for that one, but do spam her just today!).
Each wall we have faced this year due to our growth has been challenged by our Sally and Mark, overcoming it and putting us in a position of further, scalable, growth.
Keep coming - we are ready!
Why this matters?
I am sure, like me, many of you came to OS looking for a virtual home, a place where we could log in outside of our RL stress and find people online around to share joy and happiness with.
Places to explore, to create. Parties to dance at. Connections to make.
And that is our Darkheart's Playground today!
