So, as the Chinese New Years is two whole months off, we in the western and northern hemisphere celebrate New Years in just a few hours or more (depending on which part of the globe you're on)
I would like to formally, and properly say, Thank You Thank you for an amazing year.
This year has contained a lot of NC history, especially for your's truly, I learned a lot of things, mastered none, but I experienced a lot.
We also went through a lot of changes, everyone here.
Ryoma stepped down from ownership and I took over for him.
I don't like to blare off the horn trumpets, or show off a lot, but I feel a little proud, over what we've accomplished in the time I've been the owner so far.
And while it may have seemed like a long time for those not in the loop, I can definitely say that for me, it feels almost like yesterday when I joined the site as a measly Academy Student several years ago.
We went through many site down times, and even more momentary fixes, later to be patched up, the Development team has seen a lot of down time, which will change in the coming days.
All in all, it's been an interesting year, slow to some extent, for some people, 2015 has been a huge learning experience for even more.
So, in the end, as the hour grows dim, the lights fade out, darkness creeps up upon the world, let the flicker of light that flies up in the horizon, explode majestically, calling in the new year, signifying the greatness of the oncoming year, where the site will grow, the people grow, new ties are made, bonds are expanding, and we, the players, the members, the people, and hopefuls of Ninpocho continue existing and we continue creating, writing, expanding our horizons. May The Odds, The Force, The Screams, The Schwartz, The Chaos, The Voices, and everything else be ever in your favor!
The hour is nigh, good luck, and don't get too drunk, and be careful with the fireworks!
I'd rather not have to write an obituary as the first thing on NC in 2016!..
Looking forward to seeing everyone in the coming year.
Best Regards; Keiji, Tetsuo, aka David.

- We got a theme! Holy hell, we actually got a theme running, and not just one, several!
- We got a Wiki! - but it was promptly destroyed when the site's database went boom boom the other day, but we're working on trying to restore it -
- We had some admin turn-overs, and while I am saddened for the ones that had to leave the team, I am thankful for all the effort, time, energy spent whilst on the team, all of it, helps to create something for everyone in the end.
- We got guns! Yay!
- Dragons, maybe?
- We did get more BBcodes! lots and lots and lots of BBcodes!
