This is a community message to wish everyone a happy new year!
Normally I'd leave it at that. But 2020 has been far from normal. This year has been filled with an overwhelming amount of hardship. It's been a year that saw millions of deaths, mass unemployment and a complete overhaul of society due to a global pandemic. A year faced with countless natural disasters one after another. A year full of civil unrest, sparked by tragic events that for many opened their eyes to the unjust social issues that others are all too familiar with.
As such, this year has undeniably had a drastic impact on most members of this community. So I wish to extend condolences those who have suffered in one way or another. As well as congratulate everyone for making it through this year. It is not easy to live during such troubling times. Just being here and surviving is a major accomplishment, and I commend the strength and resilience of each one of you.
Entirely separate from these issues, this year has been also been a difficult one for the site directly. As everyone knows, we had worked on the long and arduous process of switching the forum system. For a while this made the site a lot more difficult for users to navigate. As such I would also like to thank everyone who has been patient and has stayed by this community's side throughout this year.
So with that, here’s to 2021! Hopefully it will be a better year for everyone. But even if next year comes with its hardships, we will make it through this together.
Happy New Year!
