Yup ^ this. I've always thought of FR as in a weird beta stage, but I've thought that for two years. It's actually such a big site. I also need to stop calling my 1 year old mastiff a puppy. They've had growing pains, and have gradually opened registration up more frequently as their servers could handle it which has led to these welcome weeks. What is also interesting is the earlier you sign up the lower your account ID is, dragons are assigned an ID in order that they are hatched on the site, with 6 digit and lower ids quite valuable because they were hatched 3 years ago... and now people are even showing interest in collecting some 7 digits. The pace is definitely picking up.
If anyone's curious about the content check out (you need an account to see links) it's an item database for flight rising, so you can check out apparel and preview those on dragons, look at some amazing accents people have created etc.
