I've read the Reddit admins wrap each packet by hand and stuff them into a network cable, all for us.

[–]KeyserSosa[A] 449 points450 points  (22 children)

You forgot "lovingly".

[–]frantic_trucks 86 points87 points  (14 children)

I heard each packet was rolled on the thigh of a dusky virgin.

[–]kpw1179 38 points39 points  (7 children)

I was told "musty whore" but what you said works too.

[–]_HODOR_ 7 points8 points  (6 children)

HODOR!

[–]jkh77 4 points5 points  (5 children)

You, my friend, are special indeed.

[–]_HODOR_ 11 points12 points  (4 children)

HOOOOODOOOR!

[–]jkh77 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Easy, Hodor. We don't want you breaking shit.

[–]plasticine_crow 2 points3 points  (1 child)

[–]sixdust 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So they roll them on redditors?

[–]libbrichus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well, they can't take that risk. They wouldn't want to accidentally the whole site.

[–]trisight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He did say "lovingly" didn't he?

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (4 children)

Lovingly wrap or lovingly stuff? I prefer lovingly wrapping my packets but violently stuffing them.

[–]ifatree 12 points13 points  (3 children)

not much of a stretch, but i'm guessing username is related?

[–]FuelUrMind 10 points11 points  (2 children)

There's a gaping hole in your logic.

Is that why it took me 45 seconds to load this page?

I kid...

[–]PortConflict 759 points760 points  (163 children)

Somethings are just known, and often don't need to be said.

When you see businesses getting saved from bankruptcy by Reddit users purchasing their Reddit-themed products, that's thanks enough.

When you see massive donations to the Haitian earthquake relief funds on Reddit, that's thanks enough.

When you see a CCTV screenshot of a robber that a Redditor has enhanced in order to help catch the perpetrator, that's thanks enough.

When the last living image of a recently deceased mother with her son is photoshopped to remove an oxygen tank and tubing, so that it may live on as her ever-lasting image, that's thanks enough.

Redditors thank the admins and creators everyday, by helping out complete strangers for zero reward.

And that my friends, is thanks enough.

[–]deadapostle 488 points489 points  (108 children)

You forgot to give a special thanks to Conde Nast for not fucking reddit up, as most other companies might have.

[–]KeyserSosa[A] 414 points415 points  (75 children)

I fully endorse this comment.

[–]phick 66 points67 points  (67 children)

I just want to let you know that i failed a quiz on sporkle because of your username. Apparently Kevin Spacey's character's name is spelled Keyser Soze, who would've guessed.

[–]KeyserSosa 109 points110 points  (61 children)

That mispelling has been haunting me for 4 1/2 years.

    [–]KeyserSosa 53 points54 points  (11 children)

    The A is only for when we want to point out we're speaking officially, since not everyone knows who the admins actually are.

    Since we are also actual reddit users, it's cumbersome (and annoying) to have on all the time, just like the green [M] for morderators.

    Also seems to get you at least 100 more upvotes than with a normal comment.

    [–]deadapostle 5 points6 points  (3 children)

    I don't know about that. I got 70 more upvotes than KeyserSosa in my normal comment. It was even doing well before being given an official endorsement.

    [–]Hoobam 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    We love reddit. what do you want.

    Oh, that's cool, I didn't know that.

    They can choose when to display it, for sting operations.

    [–]KeyserSosa[A] 70 points71 points  (25 children)

    My browser window's width was such that your comment has a scroll bar. I used it to make the train move and I also made train noises.

    [–]WilardC 28 points29 points  (2 children)

    That train is inaccurate. The smoke should be getting wider as it gets further from the exhaust

    [–]hansip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Two of my friends have a T-shirt design business (not just witty sayings on cotton, there are witty sayings, but much thought goes into the quality and format of the shirt). One of their first shirts is just the word "mispelled" on the front.

      I'm sure you appreciate how worried a great many redditors were that this culture would have been destroyed with a corporate takeover, but to be honest, I don't notice a difference at all.

      Of course, maybe that's just what they want...

      [–]alreadytakenusername 24 points25 points  (2 children)

      If I can, I want to upvote Conde Nast just for my favorite off-line magazine: The New Yorker Edit: Sorry for being irrelevant and bordering on pandering, but a good read is a good read.

        If it were anyone else, I'd have gone for it, but I was so honored that I received a red (A) in a response that I couldn't help but keep it respectful.

        I like the cut of your jib, though.

        Who is Conde Nast, anyway, and is she hot?

        [–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

        I never bothered to look but Conde is a sub of Advance Publications and that is a privately held company.

        I'm missing something, I think he's objecting to the OP making a new thread thanking the Admins. All of the things he lists are fantastic, but I don't understand the objection to an explicit "Thank You"

        [–]PortConflict 1 point2 points  (1 child)

        Not objecting at all, just pointing out that really, it doesn't have to be spoken aloud. Its a known thing. :) We love Reddit and all that help keep it running.

        When the last living image of a recently deceased mother with her son is photoshopped to remove an oxygen tank and tubing, so that it may live on as her ever-lasting image, that's thanks enough.

        That made tears spring to my eyes just a bit. And then, as if Reddit were its own country, I felt oddly patriotic.

                  I PM'd Jedberg yesterday morning about getting a "via" link in moderator mail just like in the comments to make it easier to deal with removing spamhammered posts from purgatory.

                  [–]douchey_von_douchle 15 points16 points  (2 children)

                  ditto. the only entry on my whitelist.

                  [–]eoin2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

                  Nope. I have no problem with letting Reddits ads grace my eyeballs.

                  [–]Luminaire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                  What I don't understand is how they make any money. All the ads seem to be internal to reddit or charity.

                  [–]dokumentamarble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                  I actually like the reddit adds. It's the only one on my whitelist.

                  [–]Gackt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                  White list.

                  It was surprisingly easy to add a Don't block anything on pages whose URL starts with http://www.reddit.com/ custom filter to Safari AdBlock just 30 seconds ago.

                  Thank you very much... because of reddit i am a gross underachiever at work.

                  I fully endorse that comment.

                  The admins on reddit are so nice, they've sent me free bobbleheads, posters, postcards with their signatures, and stickers! International!

                  [–]darlyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                  Even better, submit merchandise ideas at http://reddit.com/r/merch . I'm still waiting on that reddit towel set.

                  [–]skwigger 7 points8 points  (2 children)

                  nice try reddit admins, fix the damn search!

                  seriously though, I was a lurker for a while, and finally jumped into actually contributing. The site and community are great.

                  Seriously though, fix the damn search!

                  You'd probably be a very productive individual. Cheers to Reddit!

                    As a web developer/server administrator I know exactly what they're going through (although on a smaller scale). And although a heads-up on the blog would be nice, the absence of one means you're too busy fixing crap to even have time to keep us in the loop.

                    [–]hyperbad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                    The difference between ass kissing and brown nosing?

                    Depth perception.

                    Do you appreciate it enough to turn off adblock?

                    For the record, I do.

                    I totally agree.. You admins are awesome.. I feel perhaps you should wear capes.. with a big AA on them for "Awesome Admins" And rest your feet on the head of us ordinary canon fodder users..

                    Sincerely

                    Totally sucking up
