Good grief.
Hooray and suchlike! If anyone happens to know who nr. 500 was, they may step forward and claim their prize, which might simply happen to be 'less in the way of candid scorn'.
As we've had a lot of new people, I'm going to go ahead and repimp the primer tag, filled with occasionally-updated posts on Vocaloid information and links to more common songs to get you or others get up to speed with the fandom, and also our chat channel on irc.lunarnet.org #stupidsingingrobots, which you can immediately access without a client via this link if you have a burning desire to see me swear about having to write an update for the next several hours.
I'm also going to open this post as to suggestions for what you'd like to see in the comm in the new year! We'll have a post up mid-January to allow people to try to organize convention meetups, and I guess we'll go for a new friending meme at some point now we hit our next century. Other than that, suggest away if you have any ideas and expect a proper song-filled update in a bit.
