Today in the US we celebrate Thanksgiving. Be it an American Holiday, I choose to look at the meaning of Being thankful today . As a community We have members from all over the world. Who have come together because of a common love for games. Everything after the game happens because of the people we are. Friendships, Family, Loyalty, Home, Community. These are all things that this community stands for.

We have over the years welcomed many many people into the fold. Some have been here for almost 15 years Plus.. All of us through the years from Longest termed member to The member who just filled in an App yesterday. We all make up what is and what this community will be. So Today Even Though It is an American Holiday. I choose to See this as a Day of thanks, community wide.
