Dear Community,
You may have noticed that this forum was loading a little slower over the past few days...
That's because the New Year is an important time for a lot of quitters and over the past week we've had at least a post per minute every hour, every day (1440 posts / day). All this quitting was adding to over 14,704 topics and 135,473 posts in this forum alone (Forum for New Users and General Discussions) - and it doesn't even begin to consider the thousands of people who read our posts every day!
It was a big job so we had to call in the fearless "heavy lifters" on the IT team. They stepped up and did a tireless and at-times nerve-wracking job at reoptimizing our Support Group software in record time to handle this incredible growth!
Additional thanks go out to you, our community members, and our moderators for doing a great job keeping the discussion about quitting smoking. Our forums contain content that is 100% about people winning their fight against tobacco, making sure that everyone is able to get the help they need.

P.S. - the more that people use the SSC Instant Messenger, the more we can focus the content in the Support Group on problem solving, anticipating slips, coping techniques and behavior change.
