What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 4 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.
The site, in 2004
A UK forum where school and university students help each other with study, exams, applications and student life.
Charles Delingpole started it around 2001 as UK Learning, so university students could talk to each other. Renamed in late 2004, it grew into a group running several student sites, including The Uni Guide.
In 2004: UK Learning took the name The Student Room late this year.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
