Year 6!!!!!!

Wait, something's just not right here...

Six years?! That’s just madness.  I can never believe how old this blog is, but we are still going strong.

Well the big news this year at SS!AB was that I put a call out for more writers and added Jesus159159159 and Epi to the team.  It’s been great seeing that team spirit come back to the blog, and the comments sections seem livelier now.  Also, the added manpower has helped ameliorate my drop in posting due to the birth of my first son.  Things have gotten a bit better in the last few weeks, and I hope that I’ll get back into blogging shape in 2010.

Of course J159 and Epi weren’t the only ones added to the team.  SS!AB got a new mascot, Nama-ko and also absorbed Manga Mosaic.  So even while I wasn’t posting, I was still doing my best to make Sea Slugs a better blog behind the scenes.  I’m excited for the year ahead, and I want to thank all of our loyal readers.  2009 was more a year of polishing rather than introducing new features, but sometimes you gotta stick to what you do best.

About Kabitzin:
One of the founders of Sea Slugs, I handle most of the blog admin tasks while wearing my I AM BOSS shirt. I like my action series well-choreographed, and my romance series extra trashy. I also have a soft spot for puns.

    Congratulations! One of my continuing frustrations is never enjoying a show that you guys blog. It’s just… bewildering…

    6 years? Woah, if you’re not the oldest blog then you’re certainly the oldest that still posts regularly

      I think Jason’s blog is a bit older and of course Karmaburn but SS is definitely one of the older ones!

      Yeah, still not the oldest, but pretty high up there if you take some combination of regular posting, age, and lack of hiatus.

    I’m actually more of a lurker here, but just for the occasion I’m willing to pop out of hiding ;).

    Congratulations :-) !
    The blog is much appreciated.
