Hello r/terrariagonewild!

2023 was a fairly eventful year for both the world and the sub, but I'll focus on the latter primarily.

This year, as you may know the sub has been banned for 7 months due to former mod's inactivity (They've been inactive for at least 3 months before the ban hammer struck), and as such most of the activity has moved to several sister subs, some pre-existing, some made right after ban (mainly the one made by me), with u/commander_throw successfully recovering the sub on 6th of September.

Despite the fact that the activity has moved to other subs, some regular posters have disappeared, most notably bottle, which made the community take a big hit.

In the 5 months during which the sub was active this year, there has been about 240 images posted (counting resposts and shitposts; the number might not be 100% precise, I was counting the number of the posts at 5:30 am, the same time I'm writing the post), which translates to 48 images/month on average, which in turn is 1.6 images/day (for a 30 day month). Let's try to break that record in 2024, with your help!

Now, to give you an insight into the sub from a mod's perspective, we did a lot of changes after the management change. Most importantly, we added an actual automod. Besides that, we introduced sauce-finding bots, and new rules to keep the place tidy. Luckily, the community behaves very well and as such there's barely any need for us to step in and take action.

As for our future plans, there isn't really much to speak of. In general, we'll try to keep the sub alive and well. Besides that very vague promise of mine, u/commander_throw is planning to make a new logo picture for the subreddit in undefined future. Like I said, not much to speak of.

So, to finish the post: if you have any questions or ideas regarding the sub's future, make sure to comment under the post. Wishing you late Merry Christmas and early Happy New Year! I can't wait for the champagne corks and fireworks going to fly tommorow.
