    Just realized how much I missed their fan contributions to the videos. That decreased after their forums went away? It's nice to see their large scale activities and charity work, but there is something wholesome about crowdsourcing little projects like a singamajig song.
    The fans who contributed probably felt wonderful, more so than when they just buy a shirt. They collected a lovely fan base who clearly want to help them, even if it's no more than to get a smile.

    I have been waiting for the notification ALL MORNING, and when it came and I saw what was in John's hand, I cried out "YES!!". Then I remembered my landlady was here installing new blinds in my bedroom. So I called out: "It's ok, I just saw something of TH-cam that not only made my day, but also my week, my month and my year (so far).
