Divine Sanctuary's 3rd Anniversary, Another year with the DS crew. Options

[xMidnightEnvyx]

Greetings fellow members of Divine Sanctuary,

Thanks to all of your wonderful support, especially through the harder times, I, on the behalf of the rest of the staffs, am proud to announce a rebirth of Divine Sanctuary. I'm sure you guys have noticed a declining rate in the number of releases for the past year due to many problems.

When DS was first created, it was just between four friends talking randomly on MSN on how cool it would be to start our own group. For reasons, still unknown to myself, we decided to start a group. (If we had known how much work it would be, we probably would have considered more options, so kudos to those celebrating their +5 anniversaries.) Many of our friends joined to support us as well as many lovely members who came to encourage a new group like us.

I, like many other staffs here, have met many fun and lovable people here on the forums. In fact, I have made a number of very special friends, whom I love and adore with all my heart. Some of them are still around, lurking in the shadows, others have already graduated from DS and going into greater things. And that's fine, because the memories we had shared will never be forgotten.

As the title says, we are now celebrating our THIRD year of DS. Isn't it amazing? How we managed to pull ourselves through all the messes and working together as a group again? Obviously, all of these can't be just credited to a few people but to all the staffs and all the members as a whole. Without you guys, none of this would have been possible.

Unlike last year, (thank goodness) we are proud to announce that we have prepared ANNIVERSARY RELEASES as a thanks to all of the support and love we have received for the past years.

As an adminstrator of the forum, I would like to give a special thanks to my (unofficial) twinny, Kathy, for all of her hard work in making everything work again. Without her constant nagging and determination in trying to save this group, we would still be a group that have gone MIA.

So thank you, Kathy, my lovely twinny. I love you even though we're both lazy and a bit stupid as well, but hey, that's why we're twins! I have really enjoyed the past few months really being able to get to know you. I'm sure like many of the other DS staffs, we will stay friends for decades (yes decades.) to come : )

Loves to all,

xMidnightEnvyx - Admin

Wow. I feel old. Can't believe it's already the 3rd anni.

Before I say anything, I'd like to share some (virtual) cake:


Yummy, chocolate.

Anyway, thank you Middyy. for saying all this stuff. It's true, though--last year we weren't exactly ... functioning at our best. ^^; I'm glad that we've been able to get back together, and am so grateful to all staff, retired or not, who made this group possible, and who made the survival of this group possible.

Oh yeah, sorry staff for my constant nagging >______>" I'm a control freak, okay?! D:

So twinny, I think we can both say, CONGRATULATIONS DS FOR MAKING IT THROUGH ANOTHER YEAR! I'm so glad we did, though. And again, thank you so so much to everyone here who made these releases possible. Really appreciate everybody's hard work and I promise I will not enslave everyone to do work next year

So.. congrats to another year and hope we'll have another great one to come! <3 Thanks for reading my ramble~ ♥♥

@liq: thank you <3 It wouldn't have been possible without you badgering Dylan like mad that first day I spazzed out XDD & thanks for sticking with us all this time *cough* .... :"D

I'm new but wanted to congratulate you all for reaching your third anniversary. Having been a part of several ebook reviewing sites, I know the hard work it takes to keep things running. You all are to be commended. :) And as I'm new, I'll work toward reaching my 35-Non-Spam posts so that I can enjoy these anniversary releases as well as the past releases and the releases to come. Keep up the good work.
