scans_dailyAs some of you may have noticed, scans_daily celebrated it's 10th anniversary last month. Yup, our first iteration came into being in December 2003 and have been going strong ever since.
Take a moment to raise a celebratory glass if such be your preference...
(Look, I'm the one making the post, you must have known the odds were good Dick Grayson would feature in it somewhere.)
The Community has been through a good deal since those early days and three different site hosts in total (at least three that I know of, but I didn't show up until 2007 or so), but have, we hope, remained true to our original desire to, like it says on the heading, "provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free." as well as showcasing some kickass comics and graphic narrative from all sorts of unexpected places and times.
Your lovable Mods (Well, the lovable ones and me) felt that December already had a lot going on in it (both personally and socially) so it would be better to celebrate it in January, where we can have both a celebration of the past and a whole New Year to look forward to. (Look, it's either this story, or "We forgot", you decide which you think makes us seem cooler)
According to wikipedia, the Tenth Anniversary is "Tin" or "Aluminium" (or "Aluminum" to Americans) neither of which are the most exciting elements. Since we couldn't really work a theme out of those, the notion we had for celebrating this event is a variation on our requests threads, a sort of "Greatest Hits of thePast FIRST 10 years".
Scans_daily is the sum total of everyone who is a member of the board, be they poster, commentator or those who simply choose to lurk and enjoy (Though we always welcome those who choose to de-lurk). So let's make this a group celebration!
Do you have a favourite post that you made? Well, make it again, chances are there are new members who've never see it before.
Do you have a request for a story that you recall seeing before? Well then, ask here and the assembled masses might well be able to post it again.

series: 10th anniversary celebration
so we can keep track of them
Let's celebrate what makes this place so much fun in the first place.
We might also have a few surprises in the weeks ahead, but let's not spoil that right now.
So let the games begin!
