Every year, it has become tradition for me to be thankful to everyone on the board. This year is no exception, of course. Of particular note, of course, are the fantastic partners-in-crime who agreed to join my DC Comics-based RPG campaign. All of you have enhanced my life tremendously. The nine of you never cease to encourage the project and create a positive atmosphere. I always feel inspired after conversations with all of you. Obviously, the campaign has been a huge time-suck, but one that has been absolutely worth every moment. Thank you Han, Wickle, Ermine, MI, War, hombad, Vis, Scare and Johnbobb.

To the wrestling-chat boys on Discord - you all are the best wrestling fans on the planet. I can't believe how lucky I am to have a group of passionate fans like you guys around to chat about one of my favorite pasttimes. I'm so fortunate to have friends who don't mind a little cynicism here and there, a little snark... but at the same time, your love for great wrestling and good storytelling unites all of us. I was so fortunate to meet Iceman and SHINE, two of the excellent regulars at the New Japan show in Dallas. I hope to increase those numbers though! Steiner, thanks for watching some fantastic matches here and there and just generally gelling with my style of conversation. Ed, of course, you and I probably share more in common wrestling-wise than anyone else would willingly admit, and I love chatting it with you. Jakyl, you always have great takes. Nick, your passion for wrestling is always infectious.

JONA, Ermine and Wickle. We haven't been playing games as much together as of late, but I hope we can soon rectify that. I loved the Payday nights with Wickle and JONA, the regular wrestling with JONA is something that anchors my busy weeks and JONA really is just a great friend. You don't demand much friendship maintenance at all, but I feel like you're a true, reliable friend. Ermine, watching One Piece with you was not something I would ever have predicted, and yet I'm having a blast.

As for the rest of the board, I know my projects have been all over the place. This has been a weird year of transition. But I wanted to say thanks to so many of you for being here, being active. Being the sorts of people who will engage in discussions. Quinton, it's so wonderful to see you back on the board. Lopen, you always are a devil's advocate, but one I welcome. Darkx (Underleveled), you were one of my first friends here, and I always click a darkx topic even if I have nothing to add. On and on I could go. Great users like Raka, or KBM, or whoever I'm sure I've forgotten.

The board has become less rowdy over this last year, a shame given the passion and creativity and excitement that used to drive the board, but as we all get older and theoretically more mature, things change. I hope that, ultimately, the board still remains a place in our lives where we can share our own, bizarre, wonderful brand of geekiness with one another. To argue endlessly about Star Wars quality. To commiserate about Game of Thrones. To delight in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. To love our Zeldas, or hate our Zeldas, or whatever. To play silly board8 games in order to pass some odd moments.

Because it's Christmas - and when else can I say it? - I love you Board 8.
