Hey All,

The season comes to a close and we eagerly await what goodies Uncle Arthur and Co bring us during the offseason just in time for Christmas. We also want to share our annual State of the Sub post! Atlanta United had a great season and this sub had a great year. We had top notch memes, heart attacks in match thread, agony over transfers, and so much more! Shout-out to every single one of you that make this place fun, engaging, and awesome to visit. Here’s to another amazing AUFC season and another great year for the sub!

This was a year that saw us go from a decent 2,508 subscribers on 12/15/2016 to an amazing 8,926 as of 12/14/2017. That’s a growth over 6,418 in one year!!! Huge congrats to every single one of you.

Top Posts

Looking back at some of our top posts this year:

• /u/BuckyTheSquirrel shares the infamous “papercut”,

• /u/bwakaflocka lets us know about the finalization of signing JOSSEEEFF MARRRTTINNEEZZZ before Torino realized they got fleeced!

• /u/IsaacBrockoli is nice enough to give the Revs fans visiting us a drink after they set a record that no one will ever be able to beat.

• No first year in the MLS is complete without a trip to the PLAYOFFS!!! as /u/PixelsAreYourFriends creates our celebration thread!

• On Oct 21st, we were even Subreddit of the Day!

• Finally, we’d be remiss not to mention our own /u/DTMax19 with the celebration for taking over the #1 Largest MLS Club Subreddit (™) from those pesky buggers over at SoundersFC.

New Mod :o

Big welcome to our newest mod, /u/cdheiden. We’re excited about what he brings to the table so please give him a welcome in the comments!

Possible CSS Changes?

We may be looking at some CSS tweaks in the future. We really love the current look, but there is always room to improve (as Eales has so aptly shown us this offseason!) We’d love your feedback on features that you would like or items we could tweak so you have a great experience here on the sub.

AMAs and Mystery Announcementttttt

We’re ramping up our AMA push this upcoming season. We’ve been in touch with Communications from the club and will have some exciting announcements to make in the near future. Stay tuned. As always, we welcome our Media Members to work with the mods on AMAs for themselves or their company!
