Hi Everyone,

Just wanted wish you all happy holidays and thank you for a wonderful 2008 here on Xomba.

We've grown far beyond expectations during 2008 and are glad that we can share the rewards with you guys. 2009 promises to be even bigger with a brand new design.

We're happy to report that we are a little ahead of schedule on the redesign and it appears to be completed in January. We might even have a screen shot for you guys next week. It all depends on how busy we get with the holidays.

I've said this before, but the best thing about Xomba is all the different people from around the world who come here to participate in our community. Truly amazing to watch such a diverse group of religions, cultures, ethnicity and political views all come together and share information with one another.

It's been a pleasure watching Xomba grow and evolve from a simple idea to a large website that receives millions of visits a month. We cannot express our excitement over getting a new website.

With that being said we look forward to reading your posts and watching the community grow through the next year.

We've gotten some emails regarding a problem with getting a Google Adsense account. If you are still trying to sign up for Google Adsense we've changed a small detail in the process that should get your account activated rather quickly.

This change only applies to those of you who DO NOT have a Google Adsense account. To read about the change please click here.

Make sure you vote on your favorite Xombyte from 2008.

Hope you all have happy holidays and a wonderful 2009.

Peace on Earth,
