I've been down 5 rabbit holes and it's only 4:43.
I'd say it's almost drink o'clock.

On shore, Discord Page 1.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

If I’ve solved and you need a nudge, you can PM me. Happy to pay it forward. ;)

On shore! I think I got there one way, and then confirmed it another. I am surprised I got this one.

Lots of rabbits down here in these holes with me. Nudges appreciated.

Edited: 6:22 PM (page 3/4 by now really) Got across the finish line with a hefty nudge (Thanks @DavyGravy ). I'll miss the rabbits, but am happy to be ashore!

On shore.

This metanism is one I’d thought about trying to make. Nice to know I had a good idea. (Also nice that I hadn’t spent time on the details.)
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Ashore. Put any kind of a drink in my hands to keep me from typing in comments with spoileresque allusions.

Got it pretty quickly. Step one: jumped right out at me. Step two: stare and grumble and fret. Step three: Oh, for god's sake, there it is.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Count me on shore, but trying to figure out where on letter comes from. Easily mid page 1 if I had started when the puzzle was issued.
