You won’t often find me bragging about my own awesomeness in creating this site–in fact, you won’t find me discussing it at all. Why? Because I really don’t have much to do in making it great. It’s the commenters.

It’s you.

If I can take credit for anything, it’d be that I know my limitations. So many blogs (okay, mostly all) come from a position that its host knows everything, and that all the little minions come everyday to worship at their words. But here’s the problem with that: If you KNOW everything, how the hay-ell can you ever be wrong? And then if someone challenges, you have to reduce yourself to your douchiest just to maintain face. So…why not come out of the gate and just admit you don’t have all the answers, and allow people who are smarter than you help create a think tank, a forum, a blog-turned-discussion board?

chyeah.

But aside from being irreverent, snarky, typo-pocked, smart-arssed and sometimes genuinely witty, I’m just window dressing. YOU GUYS MAKE IT HAPPEN. Do not think I know better.

(I know I’m missing somebody(s), so just give me a break and blame it on the vodka.)

You do. And I’m all for folks speaking their minds–whether it’s cogent and cerebral or ridiculously trollish, it’s all on display, and you are helping countless lurkers to decide…better.

Here’s to 1.5 years, 4,086 fans, and a quarter of a million hits each month. They come here for you, me, and we. We kick tail together.

Long live black girls with brains. Long live rainbeau dudes with brains.

This is not a forum. This is not a blog. It’s a F.L.O.G.
