View attachment 8617 To All of our wonderful and loyal PAF Members: As we approach the turning of another year, saying goodbye to 2013, now is the time to reflect on all things from the past 12 months. Whilst the road isn't always smooth along the way, the ups and downs teach us valuable lessons in equal measure. PAF has continued to grow steadily (we now have 5174 members! though I'm sure there is a bot or two in there ) and is now an excellent repository of information and knowledge as well as the core of the Arkadian community. I am proud of what we have all accomplished again this year and look forward to seeing what the next revolution around the sun brings us. On behalf of the entire Forum Staff, I would like to extend our thanks to you the Arkadian (and wider Entropian) Community for once again making this forum a worthwhile endeavour this past year or more. To the Arkadia Studios Development "A-Team": We all know the road of development is bumpy for one reason or another but I think we can all agree that you guys continue to excel nonetheless. Please accept our wholehearted thanks for continuing to give us such a lush and wonderful planet to explore, colonise, to play in and call home. We've watched as Arkadia has grown from an idea, and into the successful and popular destination it is within the Entropia Universe. It's been good fun working with you guys here at the forum and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us all next year. To One and All: We hope you will all have a safe and happy Christmas with your friends and family and enjoy a great New Year's celebration with the same. At this joyful and reflective period, please spare a thought for those that are unable to spend time with their loved ones due to deployment or commitments in the emergency services (it has already proven to be a very busy season for us). It is the tireless work and sacrifice of a few, that grant the many such a wonderfully simple, yet precious gift at this time of year. I stand with you, in hope that such as sacrifice is never in vain nor taken for granted. So, please remember to act responsibly whilst enjoying yourselves and lets all be here to celebrate another fantastic year again in December 2014. Warmest Regards and Best Wishes for 2014 The Planet Arkadia Forum Staff Snape, Jenny, Larkin and Vantastic
Awesome work you guys do with these forums. Specially in the age of deviousness and evil growing in the interwebz. Hope you guys that staff both the forum and the dev studios have time to spend with your family and friends. Make sure like Snape said to remember those who are out in the world doing what they do get the recognition and love and thanks they deserve. To all the Vets around the world, past, present, and future thank you for fulfilling your commitments to protect and serve your family, friends, country, and way of life we all at home get to enjoy no matter what country you live in. I wish you all a quiet and uneventful holiday and hope for your safety and health during your time of service. I hope the new year brings a more peaceful time so that you all may return home to your families and rebuild a happy life together.
