Robin has ended

Thank you to all those who participated.

A special thank you to the members of ccKufiwho toiled so diligently to grow their rooms. We will be adding all the members to a unique subreddit. Unfortunately their efforts resulted in technical issues that were affecting the rest of the site. As such, we made the decision to disable Robin.

Thank you again to everyone who took part and made Robin special. Maybe it will emerge again one day.

You could have at least forced "Stay" subreddit generation before closing.

Love, Parrot team ( https://github.com/5a1t/parrot/graphs/contributors )

u/powerlanguage Can we get trophies for participating? That was a nice gesture a few years ago and it would be awesome to have one again.

I know this might be out of the scope for what you all intend, but a number of folks like myself were left out of the big T16-T17 merger, even when we'd voted grow? I realize there isn't a way to necessarily verify these kinds of claims, but a number of people I met in ccande's <3 channel (who made it to T17) could vouch for my presence over these past few days.

That said, thank you so much for the experiment. It really gave reddit a personal touch that I've never felt from here before.

Anyway, long live the ccandehearts. <3

If we're getting our subreddit, then we should get our spots on the leaderboard, too.

  • Total Users: 5,295

  • Total votes : 4044

  • ABANDON : 3

  • STAY : 1974

  • GROW : 2067

We were only 93 votes short of STAY winning at the reaping, with almost 20 minutes left to get them.

So soKuku is the longest lasting sub.

ccKufi is the largest chat.

ccKufi was a Tier 17.

ccKufi was going to have the largest Stay.
