Hello, and welcome to 101 Reasons You're Happy To Have BYC!


I started this project as a thread, but when I was no longer able to edit the front page to add reasons, I decided to restart it. I am now putting the project in an article form so that I (and you, too!) can always edit it!

The rules are quit simple. Just edit the article and add 2-3, 4 at the most, reasons why you are happy to have BYC. I have numbered them for you.
