On Tuesday night ignite's membership total reached the awesome heights of 800 members! It has been just over a year since we re-launched ignite and we are absolutely delighted to have reached 800 members in that time.
This news came at the end of a great week where we saw over 200 members login within a seven-day period for the first time ever. Thanks to everyone who is logging in and making ignite such a vibrant community!!

Over this past weekend ignite reached the exciting milestone of 500 teenage members!! With this figure accounting for over 80% of our members (the rest are SU leaders), this makes ignite a great place to socialise online and make new friends your own age.
Of these 500 members, over 300 have logged in within the past three months and we've seen 135 of them online this past week.

You can now pick up the story where it left off as ignite's Daily Soundbites return with day 6 of 'Egypt's Prince'. Moses, the titular prince, has journeyed back to his country of birth having been called by God to lead his fellow Israelites to freedom from Egyptian slavery. Faced with a stubborn Pharaoh and reluctant followers, things are not going as planned for Moses. Read today's soundbite here.

September's edition of @SU saw ignite grace its front cover and occupy a two-page spread within the magazine. The article talks about ignite's re-launch and the improvements we've made to the site. Two of our members, Nathan and Erin, contribute to the article by saying what they think of ignite.
You can check out September's edition of @SU online using Yudu, a free online publishing facitility. View the magazine online here. Alternatively you can download a PDF copy of the magazine from SU Scotland's website.

We are excited to announce that over the weekend ignite gained its 300th teenage member. Our tally has now reached 313 teenage members since re-launching the site.
When we re-launched ignite one month ago we took the bold step of making all our existing members re-register and therefore started with 0 members. Since then, 70 of our 126 core members have re-registered along with over 240 new members logging in.

After two weeks offline, ignite was re-launched today with a brand new look and enhanced community functionality. It is now easier than ever for our members to stay connected with friends and leaders from SU Holidays, and other SU Scotland events.

We want to introduce you to the new Connect icon as designed by 14 year old Marsaili Calder. Marsaili won a competition for ignite members we held over the winter months to design this icon. With the ignite redesign taking a lot of our focus over recent months it's taken us awhile to transfer Marsaili's drawing into pixelated reality! But here we are and we hope you like him.

Saturday was ignite's first birthday! This time last year we officially launched ignite and welcomed our first members into our community area. Since then we have invited over 2,000 secondary-aged young people to join ignite's social network, all of whom have been on a week-long holiday with SU Scotland since July 2007. Around 60% of these young people have chosen to login at least once to ignite.
