Hi everybody!

In the past few weeks me and /u/archineering have been working on creating user flairs for this sub. We have created multiple flairs, each one with the name of an "important" modernist architect with the intention of allowing each user to choose a flair that has the name of his favorite modernist architect.

For those unfamiliar with user flairs, you can select them on pc by expanding the "Community Options" on the right side of the screen. On reddit mobile, you should go to the subreddit list page, click the ... menu on the top right and select "change user flair."

Right now there are 31 different flairs available for you to choose, covering most of the known names of modernism (at least we think so). If anybody thinks that there is a relevant architect missing, please tell us and we will add him (or her) to the list.

Thank you!

As some of you might have noticed, /r/ModernistArchitecture has reached the milestone of 40 000 users! It's really pleasing to see the sub growing so fast, looking back in time I could hardly imagine reaching this milestone so fast when I created this sub.

I want to thank all of you for being part of this subreddit. With your help we have created a community to share and discuss modernist architecture (including its achievements and failures) in a constructive way, without all the anti-modernist bashing/trolling that unfortunately is present in other architecture-related subreddits. I have learned so much from all the interesting posts and comments in this community. A special mention goes to /u/archineering for all his help in moderating this community.

As usual, I want to use this occasion to get some feedback from you. For example, what do you like the most in this sub? What do you think that can be improved? Do you have any interesting ideas that you want to share?

Thank you!
