[b]ARDENT turns one today! [/b] 365 days ago I made this group not knowing what to expect, really. It was originally a group made for the very few people who welcomed me when I first started posting here and has now grown to be a larger community of people who play games, who play the guitar, who enjoy art and just hanging out and making friends. And friends we did make. I would not have gotten to know a lot of people here if it wasn't for my group. And I won't say my group is better than anyone else's group, and fact is it's not. We've had our fair share of ups and downs, and some might even say my group is the most dramatic of them all haha. But our group is fun and I enjoy talking to the people here. For a while it was kind of my safe haven from the toxicity that was #offtopic and it still kind of is. I'd like to first of all thank the admins and the people who help lessen the workload on managing 300+ members. It's a LOT of work and I know you guys go through a lot. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Bungie, for making my group possible. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for your website. Thank you to the original members who were part of the 6-8 people when I started the group. Thanks for staying with me. Thank you, Emma and XGN for suggesting Discord. One of the best apps out there and I'm happy we found our place there. Thanks, Relyks, DTL, Savage Coco, CrazyLincoln, Nixtress, Longface, IntrepidTurtle, Karza, and the other users who I considered BNET legends haha and you're here in my group talking to me! I thought of you guys as celebrities(cringe, I know) so thank you for being a part <3 Thanks BMO and Doob, without you guys I wouldn't have added spam and other moderation tools to Beemo. Thank you, Hawk. For being the first person in my group and leaving and coming back 300 times. Thank you Grenade, for slapping some sense in me when I felt like a blonde. Which is kind of all the time. Thank you, Slice of Pizza for taking screenshots of my group chat and posting them here. Keep up the good work, you've earned the Master Lurker badge. My old enemies who became good friends, you guys are pretty awesome. Thank you. And thank you to the other members for putting up with me and my group. I know I haven't been the best leader but I try my best to manage the community and I have to say we've gotten far. I look forward to another year. You guys are the only reason I've stayed with this community. Now share something below, whether it's an ARDENT meme, funny screenshots, or something you'd like to share about your experience in the group. Or maybe you just want to post salty comments, that's cool too haha. I know this is just an internet group but I really wanted to put this out there. Love you guys <3
