Thank You

---

The last 15 days have been extremely hard for me due to the fact that my family has had some medical issues. Because of that, I had to ask my staff this last half-month to help step in and take over... I am so happy to announce that they did exactly that!

There was also a race that went on between 2 of our most dedicated staff, EAT-MY-PAINTINGS and nikkittie, In our back room it was quite a fun battle!

Psycho added 86 articles
Eat-My-Paintings added 96

Resulting in the incredibly long article that follows



But really, Thanks so much to all the admins that helped make this article possible
