Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?



One of us! One of us! One of us!

That's right, guys. As the topic title says, I've been here for two years today. Now, y'all know me, I'm not much for soppy speeches or nothing, but I do feel I gotta say something 'cause this place has, like, dominated my life for these past two years. Er, in a good way. Now, according to a fairly recent revival of my intro topic, I've changed a lot over my time here. I guess that's true. I joined at the beginning of my senior year in high school. I was intimidated by all the TLA board vets who I saw here 'cause I was a nublet at that particular GameFAQs board, though no noob to fandom. In fact, I basically went from one forum, the GSFF, to this one. The GSFF, a haven for the second wave of writers, was dying out. Funny, too, as just earlier I was thinking about it. But anyway, I found the Temple and it was the relaxed air that drew me in, as well as the welcoming and intelligent posters. I met Dante here, and since we were both fic writers, he asked for my MSN address. At the time I didn't have one, but I got MSN in the coming months when a good friend of mine was having trouble with his AIM. So Dante became my second MSN contact, and we hit off and have been good friends for almost two years now, I guess. And then there was Rise of Mars, what kept me at the Temple even through the posting slump we had. Despite how we were all noobs at RPing, we managed to craft an RP that had heart and soul to it, and that has managed to become a Temple legend. And then not too long after that came many of our regular users. Kyarorain was invited here to take part in an RP to follow RoM. HJ turned up around then, as did IPO, Kris, Hinoa, and Sora. The winter months of 2006 were, I feel, a great time. Sora and I had our late night early morning posting spree where we tried to sacrifice Val. The chat room was installed and quickly became a favorite with the members, and many of its cherished institutions were started over Christmas break, like the Temple of Kraden School of Emoticons and the orgies. We had our share of drama and happenings over the spring and summer, and we saw the start of Fall of Mars, an RP that takes the epic span and the heart of Rise of Mars and brings them to levels we could have only dreamed of in the first RP. Looking ahead, I see no sign of us slowing down.

As if it's not obvious, I really love this place. You guys are my friends, and I wouldn't have stuck around if I didn't like yinz. I mean, why d'y'all think I split from BDC, eh? Dante's become a best friend to me, and he's shown himself to be someone I can tell anything to, even if I sometimes forget this. Heh. Alex, with his wit and imagination, is always so much fun to talk to, and we've talked about everything from theatre to serious business. Jacob's been around from the beginning, even if we only became better friends semi-recently, but he's always able to make you laugh. Kyarorain's always great for talking about Golden Sun and fandom stuff, and she's smart and funny, so I always enjoy talking. And Andy is just a great person to talk to because he's sensitive but also with a great sense of humor. Always makes me feel good when we have a conversation. And those guys are just the Kradenettes I feel especially close to. I have fun posting and chatting with all of you, young and older. What's great about this place is that we're a pretty diverse group, but we can all come together and have fun and build friendships that last.

I know, I know. I got all soppy on yinz. Well, tough noogies. I'm not usually this emotional, and y'all know it. I guess it's just the occasion and me thinkin' on what this place means to me. So, in conclusion, thanks for two wonderful years, and here's looking at three.

Wtf do you mean, you guess? ;D Just messing with ya, Drac', you're right. And hot damn, it really has been two years. It's amazing this place has survived at all, really - like Val confided it me later, he didn't think it would last a couple of months.
But srsly, Draco, that was touching. ^_^ Thanks for sharing your feelings, not to sound cheesy or anything.

*makes note to rip off idea for his three-year* >___>

Yes, yes, all well and good, but another question needs answering.

What do we do now?

We make the rivers run red with blood.

That, or just continue to mindlessly congratulate Draco.
