    Hi Folks,

    I'm back online, and have some special news for you.
    A few hours ago (acutually Sept. 29th) whatthemovie turned one month! yay!

    The site has been online for a bit longer than that, but on August 29th we introduced the famous upload feature :)
    Since then, you guys have been very busy, posting nearly 2,000 movies. I bow before you! very nice :D

    Since I'm writing this post, let me tell you about the things, we're currently working on:

    > Improved queue management (We're planning to form a group of moderators, who decide, if a movie is posted or not. We're also adding automated e-mails, which tell you, if your movie is rejected and why. The backend for this feature is quite complex. Please give us some time ;)

    > Your own place in the hall of fame (if you're not listed in the top20, you will find your name at the bottom).

    > Since the vote pro or contra "show solution" has been quite clear, we keep this feature, but we'll extend the time to one month (30 days), to give everybody the time to take a trip to Hawaii and solve every movie afterwards.

    Not to disappoint you guys, who voted agains this feature, we decided to add another "level" to whatthemovie. These so called "quests" (working title) include a bunch of movie snapshots on a specific theme, which won't appear in the regular row. These movies will never be "solvable", they won't have the "show solution" button. Solving these "quests" will make you proud. You'll get a little badge in the hall of fame, etc, something like that. This feature is very extensible, we have a lot of ideas floating around this thing.

    Stay tuned.
