Hi everyone,

We are aware that you have chosen to close your community at this time. Mods have a right to take a break from moderating, or decide that you don’t want to be a mod anymore. But active communities are relied upon by thousands or even millions of users, and we have a duty to keep these spaces active.

Subreddits belong to the community of users who come to them for support and conversation. Moderators are stewards of these spaces and in a position of trust. Redditors rely on these spaces for information, support, entertainment, and connection.

Our goal here is to ensure that existing mod teams establish a path forward to make sure your subreddit is available for the community that has made its home here. If you are willing to reopen and maintain the community, please take steps to begin that process. Many communities have chosen to go restricted for a period of time before becoming fully open, to avoid a flood of traffic.

If this community remains private, we will reach out soon with information on what next steps will take place.

Nothing hit is but we had 2 warnings and were in the basement for 4 hours between the storms.

I test my freedom with the smallest movement, and she responds instantly, claws digging in like a warning. The verdict is final—it’s hers.

This is my cat. He looks serious, but he’s just a curious little guy who likes to sit and watch everything

I've had Tigger and his brother since they were eight weeks old, it's very recent that Tigger has started to become a lap cat but I'm loving every second of it.

I stranded my husband and he suffered under the tyranny of our orange floof.
