Ok, so how the hell did you find 4 rails guys in fricken' Parksville?
Some of us geeks like to spend our time away from computers climbing, kayaking, hiking, snowboarding, mountain biking, sailing, or camping... for such a life, Vancouver Island is hard to beat :)

What did you mean by 'had analytics?' Google Analytics? If that's your issue, I think you could drop the code into the 'theme' & that'd do it.

Our goal is to make lots of things very, very easy for new users, and make lots of other things readily available for well-informed users. Right now, we aren't aiming to make in-depth analytics very, very easy, because we don't currently believe it's critical for our new users (after all, if you don't have enough of an understanding of the world wide web to make some minor code edits, you probably aren't going to be deriving much value from sophisticated analytics anyway).

The weary exasperation of the password strength checker is a nice touch too :)

Core things very very easy for anyone, including grandma. Some things relatively easy but requiring a little code to achieve.
But needing Google Analytics & the ability/confidence to install it yourself do not necessarily go hand in hand.
As others have said, awesome site. Seems like you've done just about everything right. I'm curious how you came up with your site's Terms of Service, which seem well done and comprehensive. Did a lawyer come up with that or did you come up with it yourselves?
Can I ask a question? What led? Design or development?
