There was a relatively brief period of time when Reddit user Trilly_n was a mod of r/chapotraphouse. Trilly did a few rather unique things with the community during this period.

One of these was community spotlight posts. u/QuillQuote recently made this post about these. Every so often, a popular post was selected and pinned to the front page of the sub. At first there were a few genuinely good posts, but pretty soon Trilly started pinning low-effort shitposts as some sort of middle finger to the admins (this was right after the quarantine I believe). These were funny at first but got old pretty quick. This was when I started replying "sticky the pod" to every Trilly post I saw. I even got my own post calling out Trilly's bad stickies stickied as a community spotlight. But I digress. The point is we should do these community spotlights again.

The other thing Trilly started, which I personally feel was more impactful, was Chapo Movie Nights. I remember one specific time that Trilly hosted some shitty apocalypse docudrama on one of those "watch together" sites and pinned the link. It was entertaining to watch this while riffing in the comments with other chapos. There were a few more of these movie nights, but I wasn't online for them. I really missed the movie nights after Trilly was removed as a mod.

I think our small fledgling community would really benefit from these sorts of things.

EDIT: If anyone knows Trilly, please tell them I say hi. If they remember me at all, they probably remember me as the asshole who kept telling them to sticky the pod, but I genuinely respect the things they did for the community and hope they're doing well.

    lol it was about how kotor 2 was better than 1 in every aspect and that bioware never made a good game apart from baldurs gate 2 and it got some really good comments ranging from people agreeing completely to guys being red mad and nude about it and you made a comment that you'd sticky it if you had had the guts of the old mods lmao
