MetaTalk

Share something good or nice in here. Now is not the time to be stingy. Got new accomplishments, new kitten, new kid milestone, or new favorite food? New tschotske that makes you smile? I understand some folks might consider this a useless or foolish endeavor considering the world outside. I don't. And you don't have to come in (but you might like it here). [more inside]

What do people think about starting a tradition of an annual "State of MetaFilter" email to all members for each new year? A lot of changes happened in 2024 (for example: non-profit status, site code rewrite started), not everyone follows MetaTalk, and it would be a way to remind members who haven't participated in a while that MetaFilter is still here to encourage them to participate again.
