/sffg/ Group Reading
4 years of /sffg/ group reading have now passed. This image shows almost all the books read during that time. There are a couple that were chosen twice, because those involved didn't care. Participation overall has been minimal for all 4 years. So much so that it's mostly inaccurate to call it "group reading". There have been various problems over the years, but it's continued on in one way or another.

Let's look back on a few events:

Monthly Reading Anon's Retirement Post
>>/lit/thread/S14461336#p14465125

Monthly Reading Anon's Tenure: Jan 2018-Jan 2020

In the next thread, which I made, because I was still mostly making them at the time I asked whether it was wanted to continue the monthly reading. In that thread the discord server was created.
>>/lit/thread/S14468853#p14469651

A book was chosen and has been to now. The discussion, what little there ever was, moved out of the thread and into the discord. The monthly reading wasn't included in the OP for long though and neither was the discord. It could be argued since the discussion wasn't in the thread, that's when it ended. There were a few times I posted my discussion of the monthly book in the thread, but it never amounted to much, as was to be expected. There was a brief attempt to do so in the GR group by me, but as the founder of said group, I can can safely say that's irrelevant. It's to be seen how much longer that lasts. I left the discord some months ago. As of this month though aeos's tenure is just as long as Monthly Reading Anon's. It's a mystery if it'll continue on afterwards once this eventually ends, assuming there would be anyone who even really wants it to. Regardless, the second phase has much more active in every way than the first, but that's not saying much at all.

The Origin of /sffg/
This was the first thread to have /sffg/ in the subject, but it wasn't the first thread.

The first of this line seems to be:

This seems to have been the first combined general:

and this is the first general in the archive, though certainly not the first:
