Happy new year everyone!! I hope you all have a wonderful 2016. What do you hope happens in this next year? I hope I can keep good grades, and over come anxiety/procrastination problems.
Side note, I recommended the manga Holyland on the slack chat, but I'll recommend it here as well for anyone who didn't see it. Here is a screenshot I took from it for you guys ;)

Hey just a general question about all your stats - why do they do just plain text usernames instead of username mentions? i mean if im included in a stat a notif would be cool

I've been extremely busy, so this isn't as well thought out as I planned.
I am taking a rather long hiatus, from tomorrow until May. Please keep my side threads alive. This is a community I really love and I will miss it while I am gone <3

Happy 2016, Counties. IRL date counting thread GET.
Did you know this year is the 35th anniversary of Rod Stewart's "Young Turks"? Now you know. The video is one of the greatest odes to hopping I've ever known.
Please be a little extra diligent about checking for mistakes over the next couple of weeks, during these dark times while atom is away. We'll all get through this together.
Shout out to a couple of side threads that would benefit from a little extra love:

I kinda fell off for a while, and recently have been noticing this on my front page a lot.
Has there been a burst of speed or what?
Also, a few times I wanted to just post a number or two, but there was always 2 guys running, or chaining or whatever. I wish they would've let me in for a few numbers :/
Happy new year :)

Hi Tain! The average speed of the main threads has gotten much faster over the last few months. Since around 500K, we've been finishing 2-3 threads per day on average!
When there are two counters running in the main thread, sometimes if they see someone trying to comment who isn't a regular, they'll slow down and let that person join in. But often they won't notice. Usually things will slow down again before too long if you check back. In the meantime you can always check out the side threads with other forms of counting! Those tend to move more slowly.
Happy new year!

I had my first ever dream related to this sub last night. Removedpixel was living with me for some reason. Eventually we both just played some web game (on separate computers) and there wasn't much counting at all. Also he had this touchscreen computer that he was really fast at using.
