(the interactive version of this graph, along with the numbers month-by-month for our entire history, available here for MobyPro)

Happy Anniversary and thanks to all of our amazing contributors, veteran and new alike.

To help celebrate this occasion, we made some t-shirts and a mug featuring our 25th Anniversary badge (with thanks to John Kauderer at Atari!).
