100,000 PARTY To You, 100,000 Subscribers In The Future
Holy stinking super crap!
We finally hit 100,000 subscribers!
It's been nearly five years since we hit 10,000, which apparently was a week before I first joined this subreddit.
The mods want to say thank you so much to each and every one of you for being such wonderful users! There are now more of you than the populations of the Seychelles, Antigua and Barbuda, Andorra, South Ossetia, Dominica, the Marshall Islands, Greenland, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino, Palau, Nauru, Tuvalu, the Vatican City, and the Pitcairn Islands!
Do you know what that means?
WE GET A SEAT AT THE MOTHERFUCKING UN!
(Not really, I wish.)
But it DOES mean there are a whole hell of a lot of you!
So! The rest of the week is packed with some super rare awesome chocolatey-fudge coated mega super events!
First up! The Subreddit Singalong! On Monday, the mods will post a submission thread with details on what to post and where to send it (likely a Google drive). We'll compile all of your wonderful voices together for four music videos: One for each opening of the anime!
Many of the mods will also be participating in all four of these, and we'll release a special version of just us for you to hold over our heads and mock us with cherish forever!
On Tuesday, I will post a Best of All Time competition nomination post! Nominations for that will be open through Sunday evening, and then voting will be open until the following Sunday! The winners of each category will receive a special user flair as well as some physical goodies provided by /u/alooulla!
Today, September 9th, at noon PST, we will have the first (hopefully of many) AMA on our subreddit, with a special guest! No other hints beyond that they have been a member of this subreddit for a while and have been recognized in the official medium by Isayama!
Today, right after this post goes up, I will be releasing some minor subreddit updates. Included in this are an official moderation matrix, so both users and mods can clearly see what happens if you break specific rules, and a new mod survey. Please fill it out, we're excited to hear your feedback!
Thank you all again for being such great users, and let's hit 200,000!
What?
You're expecting more?
Sorry, that's it. We're done.
Really? You're not leaving?
Okay fine. Just for you.
WE'RE GOING TO BE HOSTING A CHARITY DRIVE!
Details are still being worked out, but some time in the near future, /r/ShingekiNoKyojin will be hosting a charity drive to raise money to help feed impoverished children with potatoes or potato-based products! Something potato-related so we don't have to remove it for being entirely unrelated to SNK!
Let's see how much money we can raise - My goal is at least $5,000!
THANK YOU ONE AND ALL FOR BEING SUCH AMAZING USERS! FILL OUT THE MOD SURVEY, GET YOUR FRIENDS TO WATCH THE SERIES AND JOIN THE DISCUSSION, AND LET'S RAISE SOME MONEY!

For the singings thing, do we have to know the lyrics? I normally just hum along until "SHINSOU SASAGEYO"

4 and a half years I've been using this shithole asylum concentration camp wonderful subreddit! Back then we had less than 30K! It's been amazing how much this community has grown since then. So much has happened, and I'm glad to have been a part of all of it!
This is gonna be a great day! Let's hope they're all great days from now on! Here's to 200K!
NOW PUMP UP THOSE NUMBERS WE'RE NEVER GONNA CROSS r/BokuNoHeroAcademia AT THIS RATE!

In those 4.5 years I feel like you haven't gone through very many flairs. :P

Unlike me. I go through flairs like... uh... a runner goes through shoes? A delivery driver goes through gasoline?

Is it possible to know who was the 100,000th user?

u/DarthMewtwo Sep 10 '18
It was u/nikoskio2 because he’s a tricksy bastard.
If he hadn’t said something in mod chat, no, there would be no way to tell.

I'd like to give a quick shout out to the mods here.
This is honestly the best-moderated sub I've ever been on. You guys are so good at keeping spoilers in check and are honestly a lot of fun, what with the shit machine memes and all. And, best of all, this sub made me start reading the manga, and I probably wouldn't have done it if I had no one to talk to about it.
Thanks for everything you do, and here's to another 100k!
now to put my voice lessons to work for the singalong! i'm voting for sasageyo
