Hey everyone! We've been growing very modestly for some time now, and I'm happy to announce that we've reached 1,000 subscribers today! Even better, we've done so without so much as a drama spat, or getting spammed with low-quality content. We have our ups-and-downs as far as activity goes, but what content we do see pass through here is usually insightful or informative.

With that out of the way, let me make some formal announcements from our activity in December:

• The /r/virtualreality Ad Design Contest was won by /u/gophercuresself for this submission; they were awarded 1 month of reddit gold here. Thanks /u/gophercuresself!
• Our moderator selection process wrapped up in December with the addition of /u/Demograph and /u/Tsssss. Demograph was selected for the general mod position, and Tsssss for the design mod. With the addition of a design mod you can expect the layout to be updated some time in the future, but that will be done in our free time so it may take a while. In the meantime, feel free to use this thread as a formal location to welcome our new mods!
• The Oculus Rift will be big in the news over the next few months, so feel free to share any information, demos, or videos that you happen across with the community. For those specifically interested in this device, be sure to also subscribe to /r/Oculus.

If anyone has anything else to offer up, feel free to do so here. Thanks to all of you that contribute to our community -- your contributions help us move closer to the goal of being a true common ground for all things Virtual Reality.
