I know it's turned into a running joke about how quick I am to nag people to properly tag their posts. A good many of you have seen my " Please remember to tag your posts. :)" nudge, and most people are good about fixing it, or remembering in the future ( Read more... )

Or is it anniversary?

Beyond whatever I thought would happen. This community is what it is because of its members: thank you!

I'm going to catch flak for this post, and undoubtedly lose members, but I've gotten to the point where I no longer care

I love gsa_lj. I have put in countless hours to help mold this community into what it is, which has far surpassed my wildest expectations. As any of my friends will tell you (many of whom are members), I have put a lot of myself in ( Read more... )
