DiS is seven! Happy Birthday to us!

_ 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?
