Thanks for the welcomes!
I don't have anything new to add about the benefits of the personal nature of small forums, so I'll just agree that everything that's been said in all the other welcome threads is true. It's kind of impersonal of me, but much more efficient!

Damn, we are getting a great influx of highly productive folks here lately
Excellent! I must watch them closely, and learn their secrets...

Awesome! I'd love to see this evolve over time with those feets slowly getting more detailed and chunkier. Also do you need some sound files or anything? Happy to help!
I hadn't gotten to the point where I was thinking about sounds yet, but I certainly wouldn't be opposed to adding sounds if some were to become available! In fact, I'd take just about anything that became available. Sounds, art, or... well, I guess those are the only two things. Except I can't really use good art just yet because it'd only draw attention to how shoddy the other parts are, like the way the knee joint drifts apart as size increases.
Bug fixes for that sort of thing are on the To-Do list, but the thing I'm working on at the moment is adding multiple levels of stompedness to the splat marks, which was a feature I enjoyed in an old stompy thing I've got named "wgmn.exe". To prevent slacking, I'll give myself a public deadline: I'll work on it over the weekend and have it up by next Thursday. Now I can't procrastinate!
And just for the sake of sharing, here are the other notable features on the To-Do list:
- Cars/buildings/other stompables
- Zooming in/out
- Some sort of progression or goal or something so there's still a point after the novelty wears off
- Increase the size limit (though there's not really much to do at that size yet aside from simply liking it. Maybe with buildings, or something else to do, it'd be more worthwhile)
Oh, maybe feature ideas are a third thing! I can take in sounds, art, and feature ideas! Coming up with stuff is always the most fun part of making something, anyway. Though due to my limited ability I probably won't be able to implement most suggestions, so the fun would be followed immediately by equal measures of disappointment. That seems kind of like a metaphor for something, I think. Ah well. The statement stands.
