So as of writing this it is January 1st, 2013, 11:13 PM and I may or may not have overdone it on wine a beer today, so you'll excuse me if i make no sense whatsoever. ANYWHO. Another year has passed. Which means another year closer to our imminent rotting in the ground or, for those who like option B, another year closer to sitting in a box near the fireplace. Nah just pulling your chain. Alright anyway. 2012 is done. Finito. History. Past tense. And of course, me being the joking idiot that I am, I would like to take a moment of your time that you would've used otherwise to do jack squat, to recap on this year. On the other hand. I haven't actually been on the wiki for....6 months out of the entire year o.o Oh what the hell. Let's recap.

Noobs
'''Please note that the term noob here refers to new people. Do not take offense to it''' Now I've been on hiatus 2 times the past year. One willingly, and the other one because my computer is a f*cker. Anywhoozies, every time i come back i notice one huge difference. Noobs. At one point chat was like noob grand central. I mean i swear sometimes I'd be in chat and be surrounded by noobs. Like no other users. Just me. And five or six new people. And I know some of you are gonna claim things like "I've been here two months" and "I'm a level 5 user" Fact of the matter remains the wiki is almost 2 years old. Two. Years.now put that into perspective, and you're like a toddler comparing themselves to the teens. Now i'm not trying to be offensive and all up in your case but the thing is, the older the wiki gets, the longer new people are gonna stay new. Now as for advice to new people. That's a different story for another time. But I will say this. Stay respectful to users, don't act like you're the craziest person this wiki has ever seen (we've seen TBUA and ghost for christ sakes) and if you need help, do NOT hesitate to ask. That is what we're here for. To help you. If we're not busy. Oh yeah, if you see that a member of the admin team or anyone is busy. Do not pester them. Especially with claims. All the "can you check my claim?" is annoying and grates on our nerves

The wiki overall
Now let me start out by saying, that 2012 was a good year. Sure we had good friends leave us, we've had our run-in with the occasional troll or newb who questioned the system we spent months perfecting (which is anywhere but near perfect, if I may add >.<). We've had our fights, qualms, our rivalries. But through it all, when there was doubt. We bit it off, and spat it out. Yes my friends. 2012 was a good year. Especially compared to the near trainwreck 2011 almost turned out to be (I say this with all the love and respect in the world guys). We made last year a bomb. Literally. There was a spike in user activity, a spike in users itself. And the contests the admin team kept coming up with. The dances, which were a bit overhyped so it seems, were still up to the amazing level of quality that I came to know, love and expect from this wiki. Now everything comes at a price, and sadly, all these results came with a very costly one. the loss of great friends, great users, and great rp'ers. We will mourn the loss of these users, but we cannot lose sight of the big picture. We must set our focus to the future. We must work together to improve. We cannot let the loss of these users be in vain. So I urge you, nay, i beg of you to help. Help with activities, with roleplays, with administration. Admin team or not, be the best damn user you can be, and always strive to outdo yourself, and no one else

In Closing
I promised myself I wasn't gonna cry. But as I get to this point in the blog, I cannot help but shed a tear. (perhaps I'm overexhausted, perhaps not, who knows o.O) My friends, thanks you for an amazing ride so far, and I hope to continue this for many many years. Believe me when I say I consider you a few of my closest friends. Only difference is I can tell you anything and not be afraid of consequences because well, none of you know where I live :P But in all seriousness though, I look forward to 2013 with my head held high and my spirit among the clouds, knowing that I get to spend another year here. So to all you people, have a damned good new year, because I know I will. CHEERS PS:I apologize in advance if you feel insulted by any part of this blog
