Wasn't that 4 years ago?  I recall it being 2019 when Theymos told me I was now a merit source and to go forth and prosper.  Lol.  Either way, it's practically impossible to become a merit source right now without creating an application thread, and if icopress didn't do it isn't likely Theymos would even know he was interested in the job.  But I guess I'm nitpicking.

I support your application, icopress.  I also think we probably need more merit sources in general, though it's hard to tell since there's a lack of data about which ones are still active, how active they are, and so forth.  All we've got is merit data and a Meta thread dedicated to members who've recently ranked up.  In any case, you know which posts deserve merits and which don't so good luck catching Theymos's attention, and if he happens to see this I'm hoping he'll tap you to be a merit source.
