Happy Birthday, Absit Omen!
Eleven years ain't too shabby

Whether you've been at AO for eleven years or a few months, it's great to hit another milestone. Thanks to everyone for all your friendship, community building, organizing, collaboration and creativity all these years. Lotta time, a headache or two, problem-solving, a bit of cash here and there have helped, too. It's a pretty uncommon thing for an online RPG to continue for so long! Nothing against short-running RPGs, but I think we have something special when the same group of people show up month after month and year after year for this eccentric hobby.

Here's to another year of unrestrained character-creation, obsessive thread-tagging, putting our characters through trials, giving each other our best shots, making play lists, dressing our characters, and reclaiming and transforming canon into a really fun fanon that's all our own.
