The site is ugly! What it is does is wonderful.



Ogrr is a forum. It focuses mostly on gamers. Ogrr's twist over a regular forum is that people can have mBTC balances and trade goods with each other. (FYI: 1,000 mBTC = 1 BTC)



Additionally, next to everyone's avatar is their mBTC balance. The implication being people with a zero balance have low status. So, everyone has a reason to find some way to have some Bitcoins.



Ogrr has been growing like wild fire. Ogrr has 1,500 members. Membership is more than doubling every month. In the last week it has grown by 500 members. The previous 500 members took 3 weeks to join. You can view the membership count at the bottom of the home page.



Ogrr's members seem to be coming from d2jsp. d2jsp has over 670,000 members. d2jsp's members have been abused:



Many of the members are likely kids. Bitcoin let's anyone regardless of age conduct financial transactions over the Internet. The site has a page that makes it easy for them to find ways to earn Bitcoins:



Ogrr brings together sellers and buyers of virtual and real goods. Further, since you can see people's mBTC balance, you can know they have money to spend. You can tip people with mBTC. Further, people who engage in transactions can be rated.



If Ogrr continues to grow at this rate in several months, we could have over 500,000 new Bitcoiners. Imagine if they each wanted 20 Bitcoins.



I've talked to the owner and he assures me that they will have no problem dealing with spectacular growth.



BTW, the first 1,000 people to register and reach 10 (legitimate) posts get 1 BTC:
