I'm old enough to remember it. And young enough to have been one of those eternal Septemberers. =)

me too!

I'm getting a bit older and my memory might not serve me very well, but it used to be Eternal September, right?

I wouldn't be too worried. I was a lurker for a long time before joining but it seems like there's an annual, if not bi-annual, flood from reddit or other sites that gets shut down because low effort comments and F-tier jokes/memes/puns get no engagement, removed, or downvoted to oblivion.

Please, no!

We'd need way more dangs than are available.
