I have to admit, it gets a little more challenging every year. :)

Our tech staff did the heavy lifting on this one, with AW Admin's able assistance.

All *I* did was pace and worry.

Well, thank you, tech staff, and anyone else. I missed this place sorely. It's an Epiphany miracle! :D

Yes, thanks to the volunteer staff! For what it’s worth, I made a donation, which honestly is long overdue. For anyone else like me who’s been meaning to do that at some point, I encourage you to go ahead and do it. AW being gone for a while really brought home to me how much value I get out of it.

I wouldn't stress too much. It's your second account (I merged it with the previous account) and you can easily continue your reach for 50 posts.

So much for the temporary spike in Discord / IRC users. Yay, the forum's back. Well done, staff!

Thank you very much for that. And to everyone else who's chipped in, as well.

Our costs just went up, and we're not sure yet about whether or not they'll be increasing more.

We did away with the Google ads a few months ago for a number of reasons, basically on faith -- and so far we're making it without them, so that's a very good thing!

It was just weird that posts I made after coming back got deleted 😅

Second time's a charm!

OMG, I tried with the Discord and I've just accepted I don't understand how Discord works. Not even a little.
