On April 18th, 2007 a day before tax day in New York City, we had our first major debate on the forum, the debate was about the way customer service handles irate customers, our member Cingularguy says he purposely works slow and our member Marisa said she finds that unprofessional and never did that during her time as a CS agent for a small ISP. Check out the thread here.

On April 27th, 2007 CellRants.com updated the main sites theme. Forums theme did not change.
