Happy birthday to DiS, happy birthday to DiS...

Blah, blah, blah. This site launched seven years ago with few expectations, far too many ideals and way too much enthusiasm. Seven years on and we've got a bit of a paunch, with word of mouth bringing us to 300,000 readers a week from all over the world. Which, quite frankly, is crazy. Just thought we'd take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been involved, especially you lot for reading and championing the site.

Please now send us cake.

No silly lists this year. No big parties. No bells, no whistles. We've been too busy. Busy making a new DiS. Just so you know we're re-launching the site later month with a facelift (rather than face any Face Off-style transplant) to get rid of our heavy wrinkles. We'll have a flourish of genetic mutations around this time, too, as part of a new dawn for DiS.

DiScuss: What've been your highlights of the past seven years? What do you imagine DiS being like in another seven years’ time? What do you hope the new site might be like?
