Happy 4th Anniversary, het_reccers!

Some facts: Het_Reccers is currently ranked 95th out of all 440,815 Livejournal Communities (and its climbing fast). It broke the top 100 comms in only four years! \o/ We have over 1700 members. Over 412 fandoms have been recced in 1,012 different pairings. There are 2,700+ posts filled with awesome recs, a lot of 'em with multiple recs per post, so god only knows how many recs total that is. We've had Six Rounds of Shipper and Character Manifestos, which has produced at least, roughly, two thousand recs by themselves. We've had 99 bi-weekly challenges, and the 100th is the ongoing 30 Day Shipper Meme and the Shipper Cage Match (round 3 ends tomorrow).

Furthermore, we have a paid account expiring in, like, mid-2014 because five gracious, lovely individuals stepped up at our time of need and gifted us so we wouldn't lose any precious tags. This comm is run by three dedicated mods, peanutbutterer, hariboo and myself, who go through every single post and make sure everything is properly formatted and that all fandoms and pairings, no matter how rare or obscure, get sorted into our system so they can be easily accessible at any time. We have so very many members that are regular reccers, including special monthly reccers and those individuals who can be seen constantly posting on this comm to share the gems they find. This comm wouldn't be the same without them. And an extra shout-out to all those lurkers or one-time reccers! Thanks to all!

In short, we have the greatest comm ever, y/y?
