By strange coincidence, ten months to the day since crack_van hit the road in search of wayward scantily clad fangirls, we’ve reached a landmark 1,000 watchers! (Er...riders? Oy, the metaphor, it is never-ending.)

If this milestone doesn’t call for shwag, then I don’t want to live in such a cold, cruel world another day. Hearing this and in an act of selfless charity, velvetglove reprised her role as the crack_van resident artist, and the Crack Van Café Press Store is now open for business!*

For the record, the dials have also turned over on:

2,363 journal entries

2,286 saved memories

57 fandom overviews

5,902 posted comments

695 community members

0 inter-fandom flame wars *g*

Big thanks to everyone who’s volunteered and contributed, pimped us to their friends list, offered their skills, or just cheered the van along, especially my tireless co-mod stopawhile. Crack Van Phil is not to be trifled with, yo!


* crack_van and its mods are a non-profit enterprise. We're just here for the wholesale shwag, baby!

So, Store=Yay, but, ah, can I ask why nothing says "want some candy, little fangirl?"? because, yo, that's what I think of when I think of crack_van.

And also, thankyou for being modly. Crack_van brings me such joy.

Well, maybe I can twist jed's arm for another graphic to put up. ;)

Absolutely my pleasure. If it weren't for this comm I wouldn't have picked up my sparkly new fandom!

Whoo-hoo!!! Go us!! Uh, says the girl who has had absolutely nothing to do with the success of the community. *coughs* yeah.

GO YOU*!!!! Congratulations, guys, for making such a wonderful community. I know it's responsible for several of my addictions. *mwah!*

*The collective "you," including Phil, Dana and Jed.

I am *so* buying me a t-shirt when I get paid Friday.

Hahaha! You're an *honorary* part of the team, babe. *huggles*

Yay!

My pimping worked:) Glad to see the continued success of crack_van It's a great place to be.

Re: Yay!

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank you for the pimping, and all the other hard work you've put into this. It's fun because people like you share their fandoms so enthusiastically!

It's an brill community - I've found new fics in all my fandoms, and even been persuaded to try a couple of new fandoms too.

The summeries are excellent, and the organisation of recs into memories with the rating in the title is totally useful.

Excellent.

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Cool icon. :)

And yeah, the reccers have turned pimping their fandoms into an art form. I got majorly hooked on a new fandom myself. I'm glad you find the title/author/rating info helpful. I sometimes with we could fit pairing info their, too, but it's just too much info.

Um, okay, what was I smoking? Heh. I *wish* we could fit pairing info *there*, too. ;)

I'm sure your readership is even more than 1,000. I don't have it friended because I prefer to see all the recs in one place, but I check in every few days.

It's a fantastic resource and is one of my first points of call if I get interested in a new fandom. Thanks!

[twigged.livejournal.com]

I'm sure we've got tons more watching. Even I unfriend the comm when my friends list starts to overwhelm me. :D

Thank you

[anglopollyanna.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the work you (plural you!) do in keeping the community going. It's a lot to keep organised, but you've managed to provide a real treasure trove.

I've wandered into several new fandoms and enjoyed single stories in fandoms I'd never contemplated - or even knew about!

Re: Thank you

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Glad you're finding it useful. And thanks for your help as well!

[soupytwist.livejournal.com]

More thanks from over here. You people do a great job. It's appreciated. :) (I keep meaning to sign up as a driver one of these days, but keep forgetting. Maybe this will actually get me to do it, once I decide what fandom.)

You should definitely sign up to drive! In *all* your fandoms!! Heh.
