Thanks for that ping! Such a lovely button there too! :D

@Devildove, what a big job! Thank you much for all your hard work and for pinging to let me know what's up. I'll be putting the button in my sig. :)

@DevilDove thanks for the ping!

@Devildove
Thanks for the update and that looks awesome!

Ping is appreciated! (though why v3.0? What happened to the others?)

I adore Hatchling letters, and will gladly send/receive them! I also occasionally participate in things like temporary dragon trades, roleplays, and helping out new users!

This is great!

Thanks for the ping, I'll have to add the button to my profile.

Thanks for the ping!

@Butzefrau Great question! The first version was posted originally by @Sedakari shortly after FR opened to the public, and she maintained it for a few months. When I joined in September and stumbled across the thread, she was really overwhelmed with the sheer amount of signups and maintenance the thread required, so I took the reigns from there. I used her pinglist from the first thread in my 2.0 thread, and continued with her method of listing the names, which was just to type it in a post as a very long pinglist. This worked just fine, but was a huge page stretcher with 1300 usernames and numbers; it also required me to manually add everyone's sign-ups, and over the following year or so I was starting to get a bit burned out on the maintenance.

I didn't want to just let this die (it's so cool!), or saddle anyone else with the work, and I'd been learning about Excel and Google Docs so I decided to make a spreadsheet doc so people could add themselves! Plus, it's easier to navigate the usernames you're looking for this way. All in all it was just a change that needed to happen I feel.
