It really is a special place. And I'm biased but also convinced that's not just bias talking! :D
I'm of the opinion that when people feel comfortable and safe someplace, they're going to take more creative and intellectual risks. It's interesting because, at the start of Internet Tolkienfic, a lot of archives that wanted to have a standard of quality tried to enforce it, not always with great results. I think we're proof that one can achieve that without being exclusionary.
I hope the next ten years continue to show that! This is kind of a great experiment for me! :D
And thank you, of course, for all of your support and help over the years. You're one of the people who is always there, and much of what we have accomplished would be lessened without you.
