Today is the fifth anniversary of Slate Star Codex. Overall I\u2019m very happy with how this project is going so far, and I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who\u2019s made things work behind the scenes.
Trike Apps generously volunteered to host me free of charge. I give them the highest praise it is possible to give a hosting company \u2013 namely, that I completely forgot about their existence until right now because I\u2019ve never had to worry about anything. Special thanks to Matt Fallshaw and Cat Truscott for their kindness and patience.
Bakkot has done various things behind the scenes to make the blog more useable \u2013 fixing WordPress bugs, helping with moderation tasks, and adding cool new features like the green highlights around new comments. A big part of the success of the comments section is thanks to his innovations; the remaining horribleness is mostly my fault. Rory O and Alice M have also helped with this.
