OotY seems to have brought in a good number of new users and I’m also seeing some new names in the comments even now that it is over. It feels to have been an even better than average recruitment drive this year.

I did enjoy a bit of the advent calendar thing that tan_eggs had going on. The repetitive nature of OotY or the tan eggs event possibly gets non-regulars to show up more or get involved because it stays in your mind for a few days on end, even if you dont interact with it at first. I wish they had listed what the animals where. There’s no need to really do deep dives like I tend to do, but without saying what animal it was, it wasn’t easy to jump off into learning more, either on the community page or elsewhere.

I didn’t know you did an industrial music community. I saw the other night Lucia did a video for the upcoming KMFDM single and there was a brief appearance of a Burrowing Owl!
