They're great. :D

This is the perfect way to put it! I highly agree..they get everyone talking and chatting and mingling, even lurkers most of the time. And it's a good way to just kind of -see- all the other members, the more you see people the more you remember them and that's how a community feels like a community...

you could be in a thread where you've not talked to a single soul, but you've seen them elsewhere and read their words enough that you feel you know them, and vise versa.

I'm glad you're enjoying the event and I hope you'll continue to stay. :3
