Lot of exciting things for this month's meta post! Last month saw the official 1 year birthday for ToR so we wanted to commemorate it somehow. Thanks to an excellent suggestion we've decided to make a world map with a pin in for each of you volunteers so we can see how far our mission has spread!
Long story short, websites are silly and the easiest way we've found to achieve this is to get you to fill out this teeny form with just your city + country (and state if that applies to you!) Don't worry, it's completely anonymous and will only be used for this map.
Once we have a few replies, I will be adding the map to this post! In the meantime I will say that 1 year has lead to over 1,100 registered volunteers and over 25,000 transcriptions completed! (Now 32k+!) This is an incredible feat only made possible by the combined effort of everyone here so pats on the back all round :D
Continuing the celebrations, we would also like to celebrate two of our volunteers hitting huge milestones so well done to u/athousandwordsworth for reaching Ruby and to u/tf2manu994 for reaching Diamond!
Here's to many more celebrations like this one! If you want to help out ToR but are not sure how check out some of these links below -
If you've got a twitter follow us @grafeas to help spread the word
Join us in Discord and help new and old volunteers in #transcribing
We also have a Patreon account where you can help us keep the servers running and u/Transcribot doing what it does best... okay, what it does well... most of the time... (I'm looking at you cat that is apparently the letter 'F')
Here's the link to last month's thread! As usual, please share in the comments your favourite posts, any fun interactions or positive feedback received - we love hearing from you!
Plus we'd love to see some of your April Fool's footers!
