  • CMC, what is this about?




    I'm confused as to how this differs from e.g. ELI5. What's the difference?

  • What is this place?




    This is MegaMegaMegaMonitor. It just seemed to make sense that if you get gilded in /r/MegaMegaMonitor, you'd go somewhere. Here is that somewhere.

    tl;dr: First time here, clicked Wishlist Search, and it suggested the person whose song I was listening to at the time. Spooky as hell.

    So here's what happened to me today. Feeling unwell - bit of a cold and grumpy about it - and sipping a Lemsip to try to stave off the worst of โ€ฆ

  • MegaLounge Generosity

    MegaLoungeVII is the most-generous of the first 15 MegaLounges! (and other interesting statistics) [x-post /r/MegaMegaMonitor]




    Thanks to the data that /r/MegaMegaMonitor collates, I've been able to throw together some fun statistics about the MegaLounge chain. Let me share some graphs with you:

    Number of accounts at each level
    There are 3,020 accounts authorised to access /r/MegaLounge, 906 in /r/MegaMegaLounge, 487 in /r/MegaMegaMegaLounge, 307 in /r/MegaLoungeIV, and similarly fewer and โ€ฆ
