man, so... I just want to appreciate the kind of community/culture that that's been cultivated here (and, to some extent, the wider furry community) at thos point in time. it's easy to take for granted the type and the quality of engagement we get in comments on posts and around the site, when you going elsewhere and so much of discussion online is just streams of noisey, memey, rude, thoughtless nonsense that drowns out and/or kills attemps at normal conversation.
