*Taps the microphone*
We are now on the final run up to that busy time of year. I probably won't be about much now until after Christmas, so I thought I'd get in early and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Now it's time for a speech.
Recently we had the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek, and like many others I got a little caught up and wanted to do something special to mark the occasion. However while I was trying to decide what exactly to do, I realised that it was actually of little importance to me. It's just a number, I wasn't even around when it first aired. I realised that what was more worthy of celebration are the communities which keep it alive.
MSFC is one such community. MSFC has been here for over twelve years, and while many of us came here for the free downloads, we end up staying for the community. After nearly ten years here, this little corner of the internet has almost become a second online home.
Now I know precisely one thing about making speeches and that's that shorter is better, so I'll try to wrap this up quickly.
All hands, Attention.
Majestic and Hellkite, front and centre.
Whilst MSFC has a good team of admin staff (who generally don't have to do much ), I think we can say that the continued existence of this site is down to the perseverance of these two people in particular.
Majestic and Hellkite, you two are the cornerstones of this site. You have kept it going even through your own personal troubles and I salute you for it.
Time for the grand unveiling. This one is for you guys, I hope you like it.
Merry Christmas.
