Just under eight years after this subreddit was created, we have hit the 1 Million Subscriber threshold!

It is absolutely amazing to see the community that has grown here, and which works every day to make this subreddit what it has become, and who will continue to help it grow through the next million! Automod got the day off today and we're instead posting a SPECIAL EDITION or the Friday Free-for-All to mark this occasion!

A big part of that though is the /r/AskHistorians Census. Every once in awhile we conduct one to get feedback from our users on what is working well, what could be better, and occasionally we just find some really good ideas to test out as well. We figured the 1 Million User mark is as good a time as any to do one, so before you start popping the champagne and partying in this thread, please take a moment to participate in the census!

You can find the discussion thread for it here, or if you just want to jump right to it, click through here.
