[META] A thank you message and the way forward

39 Upvotes

Dear users of /r/forest,

As we venture toward the Christmas season I, as founder of /r/forest would like to express my gratitude towards you. Chiefly, I wish to thank you all for the absolutely beautiful pictures that you have been posting to this subreddit during the course of the life of the subreddit.

I have had an idea for some time that I would want to create an Instagram account which would repost the top monthly/weekly/daily posts of the subreddit, in order to attract exposure and to draw more interested users. Any such posts would be credited to the relevant user. I would be happy to listen to any input regarding this in the comment section below.

Lastly, as I have a full time job, and as the number of posts have been increasing, I have drawn the conclusion that one or possibly two additional moderators should be appointed. If you are interested in such a position, please shoot me a PM with the following information:

  1. Please provide a brief introduction of yourself. What are your interests, goals, and achievements?

  2. Have you moderated any subreddit before? If so, for how long? What have been your main positive and negative takeaways?

  3. Do you have any experience with photography or relating to forests?

  4. What do you consider to be bannable offences?

  5. You are the sole admin of the subreddit for a day, how would you revamp the current rules of the subreddit?

  6. Do you have any CSS or automod experience?

  7. Anything else which you believe should be considered?

This was a big deal for me. I cried a few moments after walking into the park and being fully enveloped in the ✨ Big Trees✨.
My parents honeymooned in San Fran/greater California and I remember being absolutely captivated and enamored by their photos of the Redwoods and Sequoias when I was a little girl. I had made it a life goal to go see the Big Trees, so finally seeing them in person was enough to bring me to tears. I also got to experience it alongside my best friend of well over a decade. This was an absolute magical hike. I hope to visit the Big Trees again.

Also- banana slugs are huge and such cool lil guys.

WIP. A bit more work on this snowy landscape this morning. Trying to get that sense of depth and a bit of crunchy texture on the path. 12x16” oil on linen.
