SPEAKING OF ANNIVERSARY BADGES...
I GOT IT!!! HUZZAAAAAAAAH!!!
I still am incredibly shocked. When I was here for only a few months, it seemed like I had been here for years. But when I realize it's already been a year, it seems like I've only been here for a month or something!

Thank you all for an amazing year here on the forums. I usually don't let online games or forums affect my life, but this one really has. You guys... Well... You're awesome.
It's cool to be able to talk freely about God, for once, on a forum, and to trust you guys more than any other place I've been at.
Unlike many others who have left us, I will try my very hardest to stay here as long as I can. This is the best community I have ever been a part of, and I'm pretty proud to say I play this game and know all these awesome peeps.
