Halo everyone! I've really missed you all! What did I miss?

*giggle* Seriously?  Where to begin!

Minna won a Reuben Award for Best Online Comic!  (Long-Form)
78 new threads
150 new members
A lot of new Citizens, Scouts, Rangers, and Rulers of a Derelict Airport (some of whom weren't even members the last time you posted)
Our first comments about gol-darn Forum newcomers moving into our little indie haunts and driving up all the rents
Eich's going to study overseas next year
I'll get to wield the One Ring of Power when he's busy
Reaction screencaps
Mikkel Madsen's job description
The Comfort Corner
We have a lot of swordplay enthusiasts here
Ditto aerospace
Play-by-Post went dormant for lack of interest
Other amusements popped up in its place -- like Dood Leordie
Shipping.  Oh, so very much shipping (and debates about it)

Anyone else want to help fill him in?

Someone invented reaction screencaps

Anyone else want to help fill him in?
The self-insert thread.............
also, I (or anyone else here, as far as I know) didn't really invent reaction images. It was a pretty widespread artform on tumblr already, and it probably didn't even originate there either.

also um, hi, DzigaWatt? We haven't met but you seem cool! I'm the new airport ruler around here, you'll... probably see my name around a lot. My talents include making A LOT OF ART VERY FAST, impromptu art history lectures, and being really bad at shutting up........ which is prooobably why my post count piled up as fast as it did. woops.

I'm actually just checking in to say I'm going to bed and trying to isolate myself from the forum all day tomorrow, or at least until I finally finish writing my assignment, as I have been trying for the past few (mentally very trying) days. So if you feel like I'm oddly absent, that's why. And if I'm not absent, please apply a gentle slap upon my countenance. I'll talk to you all later!

That's right, I forgot it's icon change season for you fashion-forward types. 

Ooh, ooh, one other nifty new development here:  Chapter Break Survivor ribbons, courtesy of the fantastic Starfallz.  All the cool kids have them.   8)

Also, over on Disqus we had an *epic* battle with Shotgun Shuffle in the March April May Madness Comics Tournament.  Piney became kinda Internet-famous, so maybe I should let her update you on that.

Hey, just wanted to check in while I have the chance. For any of you in the U.S., you most likely know about the horrible flooding down in Texas. I live in a hill, so I am safe. But others that live in Texas, are you guys ok? Hundreds of houses were destroyed down by my place and a very important bridge too. My internets been spotty because of the constant storm, so I'm glad that I have the chance to check up here.
(Ps. So many people lost their houses that the town had to open up the high school to shelter them all. This means that my Middle School and the High School have both canceled final exams. It's really serious for them to do that  :-[)
Sorry for the ramshackle post, I hope all of you are ok!
