The ToO Turns Six!

Post by Catspaw »

Everyone,

I am pleased to announce that the ToO has offically turned six! \:D/

It's hard to believe that it has been so long since Shadowpaw started this amazing board! There have been a lot of great memories over the years, with new ones still being created.

I know that most people are not in a celebratory mood right now, due to the recent tragic circumstances, and for that reason, the admins have decided to postpone the usual festivities until next Saturday. It just didn't seem right to do it now, as I'm sure all of you will understand.

The statistics below prove that there are a lot of dedicated ToOers who love to post! \:D/

Thanks to Dan for providing a special anniversary surprise! Click here to see the thread that contains all the images of the construction process. Don't let the smileys down after all their hard work - go take a look! The lovely final product is an apartment building, so please do not mistake it for a cake. There is no icing to eat, so stay away. ;) And there's a greenhouse on the roof - yay!

0.64 new users EVERY DAY?! AIO is truly a world-wide craze (and who can blame the masses) when there can be that many new people per day for 6 years!

Eugene-"Well, the sequence of events occured with extreme rapidity, but I shall attempt to recall them. I was powering my two-wheeler along this concrete pathway, when your personnage suddenly appeared directly in front of me blocking my course. My reflexes immediately sprang to life in an attempt to navigate an evasive manouveur around you while still maintaining course and speed, but I evidently over-compensated, and my Schwinn careened off the hardened path, taking me with it, and up-ended us both in this shrub, a Rhododendron of the heath family I believe, deducing from the leathery evergreen leaves, as distinguished from the deciduous Azalea, which as we all know is..."
Isaac-"You mean, you crashed into this bush cause I got in your way."
Eugene-"Well, that of course is another way of expressing it." Isaac the Benevolent

Well, I'm wrapping up my vacation, but this topic needs a quick reply. \:D/ Happy birthday, ToO!

I can't believe it has been six years! What an amazing time it has been. Here's to another ToO year! :party:

And thanks for moving the other celebrations to a later date. Somehow, this Saturday afternoon will seem slightly less than celebratory.

Happy birthday, Too! \:D/ But wasn't it just yesterday we celebrated the last one? :-k

And thanks for postponing it; it'll be much better, considering what's today :yes:
