if you hadn't noticed already, we've reached 5,000 members. what should we do now? (meme post to make it AB related)

well, yeah, we've reached 5,000 members, and currently, I have absolutely no idea what to do. luckily, u/PoobGnarpy has whipped up two new celebrations!

.....and they're both art contests.

this first contest suggested is more large-scale. basically, we've had the subreddit banner, since, like, June 2025. it's October 2026. we've had that banner for one year, and I know, to some of you, it's getting a bit boring keeping this same banner every day. but luckily, this contest is going to change that! starting in November of 2026, you will have a chance to have YOUR designed banner on the subreddit for all 5,000 members to see!

this is an introduction post for both contests - the contest submission forms have not gotten out yet, and both are going to start in November, so instead of wasting your time staring at the screen wondering when the forms are going to release, how about you participate in the Animatic/Snoo hybrid contest that's been going on since October 1, and we've only had, like, three submissions? there's only a little over 1 day left to submit!

the second contest is the size of Vatican City. put simply (it is very simple, actually), you will design an emoji for this subreddit that can be used for flairs and posts, since just like the banner, the emojis have been sitting in the basement for like, 5 months now, with no change. i can't wait for the emoji contest to have like 35 submissions while the banner contest has 2

anyways guys good luck on November of 2026 and tell me what you think about u/PoobGnarpy's celebration suggestions!

BONUS! - we are looking for mod recruitments to handle all this chaos, so if you want to, feel free to send a mod form on the subreddit! it should go into our Mod Mail.
