[5:03] Timothy Daniels: Hey Tateru! I'm helping to develop the SL article on Wikipedia, and I was wondering whether you could kindly grant me permission to take a copy of your "total signups" graph at tateru.meratalk.com/signupstotal400.png for use in the article? (The origin of the graph would be stated.)
[5:07] Tateru Nino: Not a problem. Go ahead and use it. I can also generate it in other sizes, if you prefer.
