Two years of the Uranium Forum!

[Lord Windos]

Regardless, though, it's been an absolute pleasure to be a part of this community, even if it is only a smaller part of Uranium's community as a whole.  I'm still looking forward to when I'll be an active part of something other than the roleplay section.  Just need that battle sim to be finished, and then I can really get back into the meat of helping to flesh out the competitive aspects of the game however I can!  Guide writing, tournaments, helping with the UCC Discord...it's going to be great when that all finally kicks off, and I'll be here to make absolutely sure everyone here knows when it does (and maybe on the subreddit, too).  (and I'm choosing to remain optimistic that it will!  If we believe hard enough, it'll happen eventually, right?  Right?)

I appreciate that you worked with me as well on that tough topic as well, Cody.  I really appreciated that you handled it the way you did, and even went above and beyond to give me more than I was expecting.  You deserve just as much credit for that ending on a positive note.

Honestly, I never expected to be such an active member of this community for so long.  I was expecting to write a few guides, and then spend most of my time lurking when I ran out of guides to write, and eventually stop visiting altogether when that interest started to wane.  But I've gotten so much more than I was expecting from joining these forums, and I'm very much looking forward to continuing to be an active member of this community in any number of ways.  So cheers to another year, and many more to come!

Share the same exact sentiments with you, mate, though I'm not too certain on just how much I can really do for the competitive community. I kinda feel like my time has passed for that sort of stuff, or that I won't be able to do any significant good in shaping the Comp. Scene + until it becomes less volatile/more set in stone(And the Base Game is fully completed, for the most part), so that's always been a worry that's been nawing away at me...

Not entirely sure about the mention of that tough topic, or the deals made about it, but I'll reserve those opinions to myself.

It sure does creep on you, these quality forum communities, eh mate? Well, nothing else to it then, but to keep on chugging along on the Uranium Express! Toot toot!

Dear heaven, Cody, stop making me smile when reading what you wrote up here :o


It's quite an amazing thing how one thing has lead to another, now isn't it? ^^ In both cases, yours in the means of starting as a player and making it to the Community Manager solo'ing everything - which is, to be honest, definitely something that deserves praise on its own! - and mine in stumbling over an note on tumblr about the release of a new FanGame after 9+years of development and ending up both such an active member and in ship that doesn't care how many kilometers lay between us on a map... It's just stunning to see in what direction everything has developed and it couldn't have been anticipated. But I'm being honest when saying that I'm happy how things have developed indeed! *wraps arms around their OTP, dearly cuddling and nuzzling them for loooong minutes* ~<3


Of course you indirectly fostered things by providing the board, and I actually saved up some sort of drawing for when you'll be celebrating your two-year anniversary - it's just small and born from a random thought for the Pokemon-of-the-month Drawing Challenge on the Creator's Collective, but I thought you might like it...maybe... I guess?

I should be prevented from having such weird ideas.

Hehehehe…well spoken, Phantom. The Uranium Forums was the common ground we met upon, and whether by coincidence or designs beyond our keen, it helped foster the magnificent partnership we now have. Honestly, I dread to think of the possibilities where we never became so close, or how on tiny thing could have altered things between us drastically.....so I won't! Let's just.....[i]enjoy [/i]what we've managed to create together, my dearest and darling little specter...~

Oh, and marvelous job on your artwork as always! Shame I don't have any talent or skill towards that, as I'd draw you several wonderous pictures myself to repay you with more than just the well deserved praise!

Even though I've not been as active here as of late, the forum will always have a special place in my heart for all the friendships I've made here, all the fun times we've had... sprites and fanfic, trades and shinies, and who can forget our rampant (and sometimes wildly off-topic) roleplaying across the threads (you just wait @Lord Windos, I'll defend those cookies yet!).  Here's to many more years of Uranium, this forum, and all the staff, members, and fans who work so hard to keep it alive!

Hmm? I'm sorry, what was that you were saying? Can't quite understand the point you were trying to make, really....
