Good evening Sanctum!!!
As some of you might have noticed (and a mermaid was traumatized to learn), today is April 4th, also known the Sanctum's 9th birthday.
Every year for almost a decade now, we have striven to celebrate this amazing community you have all helped us create. That starts, of course, with thanks, from both Otys and myself, to each and every one of you. Our staff who keep this ship away from the iceburgs, our donors who keep the lights on and each and every one of you, whose writing gives us a reason to be.
But what is a birthday without a gift?
First!! Courtesy of @Jumbled, probably our most requested theme is now live (you asked for it). Introducing Cyberpunk!!
I will also plug Nightshade, for anyone who missed the announcement of it
We're light on new features this year, as we are still waiting for a couple of vital add-ons to be updated to Xenforo 2.3 before we attempt any large updates, but that doesn't mean we're entirely stagnant.
For one thing, the plan announced last year to split The Dark Alley into multiple forums by timeline so we can add more genre nuance remains on the cards. What we are lacking is thematically appropriate names—suggestions are welcome for both a futuristic and a historically focused forum.
And finally, I'm currently planning an impromptu movie stream for tomorrow, Saturday April 5th. The current plan is viewer's choice (also known as "poke around in James' Plex server"), but suggestions are of course welcome and I will try to get anything that seems highly requested.
Thanks again to each and every one of you for another amazing year. The Sanctum is bigger and better than ever and we couldn't be more ecstatic.
Oh and don't forget to respond to the Sanctum's most important poll
(For the three people reading this who got the reference in the title):
