Hello and welcome to the first ever State of T/O, where I, yeaGO, let you in on what's happening.
Preorder Partner
So we've got a new partner for ordering sealed product: Top deck Gamers. I hope you all choose to use this--you get a free upgrade (or tokens) when you use our partner!
Draft Sim
The DraftSim has gone through a complete overhaul and is much more reliable, go have a look. Now that this is stable, feature requests like improved DraftBots (and many others) can be looked at seriously.
Subscriptions/Notifications/Email
So I changed a bunch of things last month and this kinda went bad. Everyone really likes the new toolbar up top but the notifications/subscriptions themselves have become really unreliable. Don't worry, I know this. This is the next thing on my plate--to bring some coherence back to this whole thing.
Search
All kindsa messed up right now. Its on my list after the above. Sorry! For now you can prefix google searches with tappedout.net: deck name. I've got a lot of ideas about how to make search way better, and I want to do it right. That's why its taking so much time. Sorry!
User ranks
Yeah, I know. They are coming soon I promise =). The problem here is that the site got too big and the calculations used to figure out your rank became way too much for my server to calculate. I've got to break all that code up.
General site stability
July was a really really really rough month for us in terms of the serving behaving well and its understandable there was a lot of frustration. I'm glad to say this should be 100% all better thanks to some improvements in the background.
The future
I'm going to spend the rest of the month working on general stability and the above issues. Next month I'm going to start on some pretty exciting features, some backlogged requsts not mentioned above, etc.
Thanks for reading
This has become such an awesome site and I really just want to thank you all for keeping it that way. I was always worried that as the site got bigger it would lose its usefulness and polite fun mood and become not fun anymore for me to run. Not so at all, it just gets better and better. Thanks all!

I think I speak for everyone when I say that you do a wonderful job. The site wouldn't be what it is without you behind the scenes and we all appreciate it.

It's lovely to see a web admin who genuinely cares and puts the effort in to maintain the site. Good on you, keep up the good work.
And WHY MUST THE PIE LIE TO US!?

Site's awesome, man. It gave me the much-needed forum to vent my constantly-swirling thoughts of Magic. No other place rivals it. Keep it up!

Can we do something about the prices for the new 2012 set? I cant see any of the new planeswalker, or any of the new cards from the set, prices. Don't know if this is just me, but I like that about this site.

Any chance you can get a quote feature so you can specifically reply to a person above you?

@ yeaGO! oh you are so very clever..... but imagine if you will that i wanted to comment on bman5604's post. Which happens to be the first one in this thread, if i happen to say @ him... guess what no one still recalls what he said at the start of the thread.... and people will either not scroll up at all and ignore conversation or have to scroll way back up to the top just to read his stuff and then back down to the bottom to read mine... much easier if i could just quote him so the conversation could flow much easier.
Also this tends to be pretty common forum functionality. Was just hoping to get this put on the list of stuff you are working on.

I agree with The_Murderauder... no place rivals Tappedout. I keep trying to get people on the Magic page on facebook to come here... unfortunately they say that they prefer mtgsalvation and others... oh well, their loss. They are talking out of their derriers. Keep it up yeaGO!!!

This site has been my favorite from the day I joined! I joined exclusively to do the free unlimited drafts with other people, but I've since added many decks and contributed to others and a few rules questions, and I am looking forward to the future of TappedOut! One thing that would be awesome would be to include Modern as one of the formats since it is legit now. That's my only suggestion, and everything else you mentioned sounds great!

Oh yeah I agree, this site is the best. I can't wait to see where they go with this. Maybe some 1v1 with other people? Don't know if that is legal or anything, but that would be awesome.

this site is just amazing,, im new to magic, and new to the site, but this place is like, my number one go to for everything on the game, seriusly, wizards comes second
and as far as 1v1 is concerned, the playtest screen with its hide hand option and a webcam hasnt been a problem for me and friends
