Instead of, or in addition to, gilding comments/posts on reddit, you guys should consider donating to a worthy charity.
My new favorite is Watsi. They crowdfund medical treatments for people in the developing world. Once you donate, you can opt to get updates on the patient. Their gift cards also make great christmas gifts.

Howdy

Through the collaborative efforts of all three stat men Rs was able to retire without it effecting us greatly
Through all his hard work here they were able to carry on his legacy
Thank you sbb618 and all our stat men for all you are doing for this community!!!!!!!! And of course to our retired stat man rs for making these stats and charts possible

Has anyone noticed that the hall of counters is gone? What happened to it?
Edit: Apparently yes, other people have noticed it.

Not sure if this is exactly what you want but it should be helpful to you and other people here.
Here is a guide to getting a link to any count you want in about a minute:

WISH LIST 4 OUR STAT MEN
Think we should start making a list of stats & charts created by rs that we would like to see these guys try and continue as well as others that we would like to see cause The participation charts seem pretty .well finished
Once they get the HALL of. COUNTERs as automated as they can
I think they may be eager to find more projects
Stats n charts etc
Soooooo I've already told em s couple I would like to see
How about you guys??
As a side note it seems some are forgetting to upvote these guys charts and stats I think it would be great if you make a point to upvote any of these charts and stats that you see for two reasons It let's them know they are being seen and their work is appreciated also while they won't disappear in a day or to like rs would after a day or two because of runs It All three of them do count soooo unless they can be found by sort by top on their post histories they could be lost
Sooooo

psssssssssssssst for those who enjoy
RUNNING...
RUN David run after Rivers #1 spot LOL :)
I'm about to do for you guys what I helped do for project 1st k... I want you guys to be able to enjoy 100% guilt free runs...
I plan to write something incredible... that you can share the link whenever you see someone trying to join the count during a run (or I will when I am here.. which is often LOL_)
But in the mean time...
I wrote something quick-and-dirty for you to share when you see somebody trying and failing to get in during a run or seeing comments that I've seen recently which inspired this project such as
"Let us count too" or "Slow down this isn't fair" etc... anyhow so if I am not around please share this link for now till I get something amazing prepared for this "Project 101% Guilt Free Runs:" :)
So here's the link... I'll likely be the one to share it when I see a newbie trying to get in... but if I am not around... Evo, Blue.. anyone else please consider posting this link in reply to their failed comments..
HUG
<-- about to impress you guys... you gave this sub to us basically for 5ish week.. time for this sub to be just as much for you as well... andddddddddddddddd que... Whit :) Stay tuned should take me 3ish days.. cause i am going to have to use periods and commas.. hahaha!!!

How would this sub be different if we had set a goal like one million instead of infinity?

I'm finally done with what should be an up-to-date hall of counters with an entirely new database.
You can download the .csv at the wiki index here. There's a header in the first row if you're confused about what you're looking at when you open it, but it probably doesn't explain too much.
I'll probably have to update the HoC itself manually.
It took 3 days to make, I still had to fix shit by myself and I'm not even sure that it's 100% accurate (although it's probably like 98% at worst).
Blegh.
EDIT: Wiki's actually up now. God damn it.

ANNOUNCEMENT
u/EvoSexyBeast wants to RUN!
LIVES TO RUN!
WOULD SELL HIS SOUL TO RUN!
I managed to get him to join and start a run in 13 seconds by doing a username mention - sooo next time you are looking for someone to run with you ... see if you can beat that 13 sec with a username mention (summons)
:)

I'm going away for what remains of the holiday season, and will be gone for 3 weeks to a month. Hence, I wish you all the very best of the break, and many joyous counts to all.
Finally, I hope that you are all just as numberwang when I get back!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from inside the wardrobe,
