I was just thinking of that, too. Many new readers. Many super-newbies, as well. I don't mind having a bigger community, and I love it when it comes to people like (for example) you and Piney, who talk with us a lot even though you're relatively new. But a lot of new readers just lurk around and have super-newbie accounts. Hmmm.

Things new readers won't get:

- Why we all have animal-themed avatars.

To be fair I didn't get this either when I first logged on today.

Apparently, if you dig through pages and pages of the Play by Post thread, everyone got turned into animals. I think.

There is a pattern behind that? And I thought I chose the comeback of that sheep by chance ;).

Reminds me that there is actually a manga about Japanese farmers. If there's anything it taught me it's that being in the line to inherit a farm is never an easy position to be in.

That seems to be a common answer from you: "I'd rather just sit somewhere, anywhere, just playing my tunes man". I'm starting to picture you as Secret Tunnel Man from Avatar.

HmmmmMMMMHHHHMMMMmmmmyup, that's an interesting manga o___o

*laughs weirdly loud* I never got to see that episode, just the very end of it ;___; heck, i think they only aired the first book on our tv :(

(Also: holy smokes, so many guests! We just passed the record for people browsing the forum).
I consider that a compliment.   ;D  And, yeah, it's kind of true.  Music + video games make me a happy guy.
Also, I kind of figured that was going to happen soon, after I looked at the historical stats yesterday but, damn.  I really didn't think it would happen today!  The highest visit per day stat has showed a rising trend since the end of October.

OH CRAP SORRY SORRY!

*Quickly changes subject*  So, the things I designed at work finally showed up today!  They were all wrapped in paper in a box.  It was like a mini, early Christmas, except it smelled like steel, aluminum, and grease.  I'm super happy to have things I designed... actually exist.  That feels pretty cool.  Best of all, they're all correctly machined, so I can install them tomorrow or Wednesday.
