That now comes to over 350 weekly \"issues\" (though I've always been hesitant to call them that).<\/p>\n<p>As always, that's been made possible primarily by three groups of people:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/StaffList.shtml\">staff<\/a>--currently about 40 unpaid and largely unsung volunteers, spread out around the world; also another 50+ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/StaffEmeritus.shtml\">former staff members<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/Archive.alt.pl\">writers and artists<\/a> who've created the material we publish.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.strangehorizons.com\/fund_drives\/200707\/main.shtml\">donors<\/a> who've funded all this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And of course the magazine owes its success to others too: our readers; the reviewers who've reviewed what we've published; the Year's Best editors who've reprinted stuff we've published; the people who've nominated and voted for the magazine and things we've published for various awards; the writers and artists who we haven't published but who've nonetheless said good things about us; a few big-name authors and editors who've said nice things about us; the bloggers who've publicized our fund drives; the people who've attended our parties; even the web hosting company we use.  Plus others I'm sure I'm forgetting.  We like to think of the people connected with the magazine as a community, and it's one I'm proud to be a part of.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, everyone, for a great seven years!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It just occurred to me that September 1 marked the 7th anniversary of the launch of Strange Horizons.
