While I was off on vacation with limited Internet access, this site went berserk. Thanks to recent attention from the media, interest skyrocketed. Nearly 100,000 searches have been run in the past week, up from 7,000 for the first 3.5 months of this site's existence, as people around the globe discovered the joys of North Korean propaganda.
(Either that, or I've succeeded in creating an army of brainwashed Kim Jong Il disciples.)
First off, I'd like to thank everyone who has taken time to visit this site, and especially for the kind words many of you have posted. Your messages have been read, even if I haven't yet responded. In the next couple of weeks, I will start to get back to people, incorporate suggestions, and implement bug fixes. In the meantime, please be patient, and keep in mind that NK News is being run by one guy in his spare time.
Second, the FAQ has been updated to answer some new questions that have cropped up. Might be worth a read, even if you're already familiar with the site.
