Happy 8th Anniversary! (1/2)

Wish I had something more prepared for the site's 8th Anniversary though I've managed to keep things chugging along these past few months. Considering how close this site to shutting 4 years ago, I'm quite surprised to see it still around today, and so I'd like to thank Pride Sites and CYOC for their many years of hosting the stories and art, my contributors for sharing their wonderful talent and giving me a reason post updates, and you--my dear readers and visitors--for your invaluable feedback and support. Here's to hopefully more years to come.
