Sarah is probably (no pun intended) sick of hearing me praise her all the time, but she really is amazing. Even though she's been staff for a very short time, she's been more than pulling her own weight around here and coping with her responsibilities quite well in spite of the real life problems she has been experiencing as well. It really is not an exaggeration to say that if it weren't for her, the Omniverse would have long ceased to function properly. So I very much applaud the creation of this thread and give Sarah my sincerest thanks for everything she's done so far.
However, I do think it's worth pointing out that Proto and Omni deserve some credit as well. Even though he's been rather busy, Proto has been trying to keep everything updated and help Sarah out as much as he can. Also, though Omni has been mostly preoccupied with his health, he still shows up whenever he can and answers member questions in spite of the fact that his current condition makes it very difficult for him to do so. So I thank them as well and I wish Omni a speedy and successful recovery.
Lastly, while we're expressing our gratitude to everyone, I would also like to add that there is another group of people that deserves some praise...and that is all our recent newcomers. We've all spent our fair share of time within various online communities, so I'm sure we've all had experience with (to put it mildly) unpleasant new members. If we had such people joining the website right now, an already difficult situation would be made even worse. However, that hasn't been the case. Not only have many of our new members turned out to be talented writers, nearly all of them have been class acts OOC-wise as well, behaving properly and actively engaging themselves with the rest of the community. They are part of the reason why visiting the Omniverse has been a very pleasant experience, so my gratitude goes out to them as well.
As the year draws to a close, the Omniverse finds itself in an interesting situation. Due to most of the staff being either absent or out of commission, the administration of the site has been somewhat challenging. Yet, at the same time, the website is still doing great, remaining quite active even during the holiday season. So even though there have been problems, the RPG has been quite successful. There is nothing we can't accomplish with a great community such as this, so let us work together to make 2015 an even better year for the Omniverse.
