So, the 25th of January passed without fanfare from any of us. Like typical birthdays, we forget until we're invited to the party. Where's our party JD?

So as a short look back, we saw an explosion of the the site's numbers, great discussion, bickering, love, couches, bannings, booze, thought provoking argument, the usual. We've had ups, downs, threats of negativity, great times in the threads, gatherings, late-night booze-fueled ramblings, self terminated accounts, everything that makes it a soap opera sometimes. Whenever things have gotten too heavy, it's managed to pull itself out with lighter discussion.

To me it is rather comforting knowing there are other people out there nerdy enough to spend time on the net shifting through massive amounts of crap to find little shreds of info about their favorite team, and contribute to a central community with their thoughts on the matter.

I think JD does a great job of moderating the site, civil order has been rarely in question despite wildly varying takes on the game. I'm lucky as a fan to have this resource. I have a reader, but generally pop this site up as a front line means of information. What makes it great to read as a general fan is the in-depth analysis of what's going on, supplemented by thousands of scenarios, graphs, charts, and historical reference. I guess I'm still impressed after two years over what people take time to post for everyone else's benefit.

So, Happy Belated Birthday to the Red Reporter(s)!
