A place to point people to see what we're all about, the defining moments, the self-mythololoy, the best bits, the banned posters who have made us what we are today

Rules:

  1. Content submitted must be at least two weeks old.

  2. Include links and/or screenshots of content as appropriate. Include any narrative necessary for context as appropriate.

  3. Ping a mod if you put a lot of work into an effort post so it can be pinned and featured.

  4. Posting old struggle sessions is fine, but absolutely no relitigating them in the comments.
