Bravo. Heh heh, so Ach’s sorta coming of age now eh? Bravo.

Overall, 'tis pretty cool, so thanks, drac. Hullo, I did wonder where some of me better tags went. :)

I mailed you asking for a key, but gmail doesn't seem to like talking to your mailserver :s message delayed notifications coming my way. For the love of the Gods give me a key please! I cannot bottle up the sarcasm for much longer. True, a recipe should be carefully hidden somewhere on the site.

Having to click on the title of a post is hardly intuitive and just having the domain (or blog subdomain) in the link text doesn't really help much either. Someone mentioned that the interface was unintuitive when I was in SL and that wasn't the first time I had heard the complaint :) That's an interesting question to pose, anyway. I'm of the opinion that it's a mixture too - the snarky tags add to the fun... It might (I say, in a weak attempt at justification) also help that changes/tweaks/upgrades to the site are more frequent. Darwin - funny tags are a bonus :) [incidentally, you can get your own access key if you're at all interested. just drop me a mail] CY - it's not the most commonly used word around so that's hardly surprising :) I really should have a link to a "real" achcharu recipe because I occasionally get people stumbling there looking for it - I can't imagine what they must think :) I think the interface is a wee bit confusing if you’re unused to it.

I like Ach because it's relatively crap-free (not EVERYONE gets listed on it) and there isn't a lot of scrolling to do. Oh and some of the tags really make me laugh which is also a bonus!

Is it that they find the interface superior to the other options or because of the tags? Is the snarkiness/ humour an attraction? It would be very interesting if this was the case, given that the most frequent recipients of tags tend to be - for want of a better word - the glitterati or those one degree removed. It's probably a combination of the two, plus an "underground" cool factor, given how it hasn't being whored around like the other options. Which, aside from the fact I know you IRL, is why I don't mind being publicaly listed there. I’d be interested to know why people visit Ach.
