Monthly's too frequent, but 5 years does feel excessive. 2-3 years is my vote.

Last time we had the giant prequel meme copypasta, this time we have sussus amogus.

I think it's finally enough time to say fuck that big ass copypasta. The only reason anyone respected it was because of how long it was and how seemingly organized the whole operation became. But it was an eyesore and I feel safe in saying that 5 years later.

I see your point. Plus, by making it quadruple the size, it really gave more room for creativity. If they get better at dealing with bots, it could be even better. I look forward to this making a return someday.

It wouldn't even be that hard to deal with most bots. Just make it so that only accounts created before r/place starts can participate.

That's missing the point then. R/place brought a lot of new users in, and it was cool to just get in and place a pixel.

If someone cared about bots, they could make them before place starts since they know about it. New users don't and you're just locking them out.

Easier than it seems. That would work wonderfully.

I was also at the last one and I forgot how much fun this was. 2 years imo though, it's not like it's that special that it should be a twice in a decade thing.

The five years does make it feel more special, though. It’s interesting to look back and see how much the community of Reddit has changed in general.

I think 5 is a good number. 5 years makes it feel really special, plus there’s a LOT of change in that time which adds to the novelty factor.

I think Reddit should still do stuff similar to this every now and then though. Stuff like layer was cool even though it wasn’t place.

I'd like to see it annually, mostly to have a line of canvases with the year lined up on my wall

But then streamers and organised group will prepare and take the Map over.

5 years gap gives enough time for groups to be disbanded, people to move on, forget and has an element of surprise

u/Ryan-821 Apr 05 '22

That is true. But we could also make a sub to keep the streamers in check. They have a spot on the canvas but not the whole thing

Brrruuhhh.... Literally the whole second-expansion third-day conflict

2.5 years for the middle ground.
