hello. here i must extend my thanks to everyone who was a part of the smogcraft staff over the years:
dan dan, father of smogcraft, thank you for your part in spearheading the initiative to make minecraft on smogon happen. for months afterward while i was being lazy and negligent you were working as the face and also the lungs of our operation. if anyone is king on smogcraft, it is you :)
xaqwais thanks for making lots of backups and for bringing your cool, level-headed judgment to every dispute, and, probably more than anything else, for making sure i did my job
benvdd you get no thanks because i never see you anymore what the fuck
layell you get all the thanks due to ben for keeping the server from disintegrating into buggy chaos. also even though we don't always get along your pluck and dedication have been a boon to deare smogcrafte and i am glad to have had you on board
tennisace props for using your celebrity status to make smogcraft a cool and happening spot! (further thanks withheld until you pay reparations for my smoldering prostate)
and sal, buddy, i salute you for keeping the dream alive as long as you could. you were a worthy successor, thank you for taking care of my baby
but the greatest thanks of all go to you: the player: for playing!!!! minecraft is a good game on its own, but it's only a great one when you have a community like ours working together to make something greater. the highest joy in minecraft is to watch an empty, lonely world fill up with human spirit and creativity, to build a community with old friends and new ones, to adventure among the caverns and monuments of your burgeoning universe and forge new experiences together. to everyone who contributed to smogcraft over the last, i say thanks for helping make the smogcraft experience everything that it was. here's to old stories and to new ones ahead
your pal, forks!!!
