TL;DR: Happy Holidays, a happy new year, and we really, really love you guys.

Dear Members,

It is my pleasure as an administrator to wish the members, players, roleplayers, GMs, staff and lifeblood of the Frontier a very happy and fulfilling Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Winter-een-mas, Winterval, Solstice, Alban Arthan, Festivas, Yule, or whatever you celebrate. And have a good new year, too. If I missed your family's holiday, please PT me and I'll add it in here.

As Nowe and I discussed doing a Christmas announcement--early, of course, so that none of you "rugrats" could beat us to it--I pondered over exactly what I have to say. Obviously, I could do the usual well-wishing, which I hope has been accomplished in the paragraph above. There's a personal touch that I'd like to make that doesn't exist in an ordinary announcement, so here it is.

Thank you all for being a part of this wonderful community. A lot of you I've known for literally years, now; the other admins I've known for five years. Even if I don't really know you personally, or haven't known you very long, if you're reading this as an active RPGFer, you're my target, too. Together we've made a lovely, tolerant, intelligent, creative, mostly stable, mostly active, and vaguely sane community. Our writing skills, people skills, ability to tolerate and understand one another, and our ability and willingness to integrate the new avatars and usernames that occasionally grace this site into this community, only grow with every passing day.

I believe I speak for the entire staff when I say that it is an honour to direct and organize the Frontier, and an honour to be in the company of such fine and upstanding individuals as yourselves. I only wish that this community will continue along the same path that it's been going on since its inception, and with people such as yourselves populating this site, I have no reason to believe that my wish will not be granted.

So I'll say it again: Happy Holidays to you all. May your new year be filled with success and happiness.

With pride,
The RPG Frontier

Very well said, Pyth! It's been an honor to be a part of this community and its wealth of interesting individuals. With that said, Merry Christmas to you too Pyth!

I agree with everything said above. But then of course I am the one who beat pyth into submission for him to write it, so therefore I technically helped him write it a little bit (Just kidding, there was no beating into submission).

All in all, indeed have a very happy holiday season from all of us here at the Frontier!

Christ, it's that time of year already, isn't it?  Time flies.  Anyways, great little speech there, Red.  I agree with all of it, and I'm sure that everyone else here does as well.  You guys are all awesome and I hope that all of you have a great holiday break.

...Now where's the alcohol?  We can't have a holiday celebration without some booze!

After a semester at college, this is all very surreal.

Happy holidays to all, or as Batman would say, “I am Santa!”

[Desertback]

I am glad that college is over for a break. That is what I celebrate the most.
