The Best Of TFTS - March 2013 (Special 2nd Anniversary Edition!)

Hi Everybody!

Today we celebrate 2 years of Tales From Tech Support! Wooo!

Every day brings something new here at TFTS. Sometimes they are just little gems, and sometimes they are sprawling novellas, but there's always something great to read, and for that I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my magic big heart.

This month in particular had some incredible highlights, including the epic 24-part saga of jon6 and the creation of Xereeto's unbelievably awesome Troubleshooting Placebo Panel. And we're closing fast on 100k subscribers, too!

By the way, it seems that TFTS has the second-highest average of upvotes per post, Reddit-wide. That is one sweet metric. Congratulations to all and sundry! Especially sundry.

So for the 2-year anniversary party, I've gone ahead and rented out the local pizza hole for a few hours after your shift.

Just head on down after you clock out, grab a couple of slices and a frosty cold beverage and tell the cashier that Magic Bigfoot sent you. Don't bother to pay at the register, it's already been taken care of.

Cheers & Enjoy Your Party Hats, Everybody!
