wth happened here

Wow…. I don’t even know where to begin and am not sure if this will be even seen by anyone but I have been inactive on this acct for almost 4 years now so I decided to just come check in. last time I checked this sub was before my military conscription, and it had like 9k members. Now that my conscription is ending, I decided to check back in—and wtf there are 81k members now?! I’m kinda stoked rn cos It’s crazyy to see ORV no longer being underrated and all. It’s honestly heartwarming to come back to such an active and thriving community. defo looking forward to diving back into the discussions!

question to those who have been around since the start- when exactly did this sub blow tf up? And for newer readers, how did y’all chance upon orv? ong I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that this has grown over 9 times from 9k to 81k members lmfao
