Happy 1005 readers!

Hello,

I'm spuzz, your friendly community owner. This post is to commemorate the su_herald having reached 1000 watchers. Which is, to understate it, awesome. I can't say how much I love everyone for supporting the Herald for such a long time (3 years for the community on the 17th), it's been quite the evolution.

So changes that happened this summer were:
The addition of two new sections: the classic herald (a pick from older Herald entries) and editor's pick (a recommendation from the days links picked by the editor.)
A brand new layout, complete with header and easier navigation.
New user info, which will probably change again very soon, with new information.
New section of the FAQ, the how-to section, making it easier on us and the reader.
New affilates.

The point of this post is, in honor of 1000 readers, we're opening up the post for comments, suggestions, questions, weird quotes, anything. I'll be around to answer any comments/suggestions/questions/weird quotes you have, as will editor's when they have some free time.

So...have fun!

The Sunnydale Herald now serves over 1,000 readers!

Thank you, dear readers, for helping keep Buffyverse fandom alive and thriving, and supporting us with your contributions, links, ideas, and feedback.

Very special thanks to our founder, spuzz, and to the past and present members of the Herald's editorial staff whose dedication and interest has brought you our fandom's best for three terrific years. Here's to you.

But most importantly, here's to the reason why we're reading this post today. Here's to Buffy:

Buffy: In every generation one Slayer is born because a bunch of men who died thousands of years ago made up that rule. They were powerful men. (She points at Willow, who smiles nervously.) This woman is more powerful than all of them combined.

So I say we change the rule. I say my power should be our power. Tomorrow, Willow will use the essence of the scythe to change our destiny.

From now on, every girl in the world who might be a Slayer, will be a Slayer. Every girl who could have the power, will have the power. Can stand up, will stand up.

Slayers? Every one of us. Make your choice. Are you ready to be strong?
