We are now ranked #263, and have passed another major milestone. Congratulations!

Compared to the average team, we are doing amazingly well. But we want to play with the big boys — and to give you a clue, the top three teams have nearly 8,000 members between them. To be a major player, we need to be getting between 200,000 and 600,000 points every single day. Can we do this? Undoubtedly. Will it be easy? No.

So, as a step on the way to our grand ambitions, our next target will be to secure a 7-day average of 100,000 points per day. Our current average is 65,000 points per day.

This will be a daily post, if there are no objections. Please, come and help out. I really can't think of a better use for my spare CPU cycles, or yours either.
