A sign of my appreciation...

I would like to give out a huge thank you to everybody who's watched and kept interest this past season. I really think that anybody who thought that this place was dead has been proven wrong with the recovery that AARO has made in the past two years. While we don't exactly have the most profound following amongst offline leagues in NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, we're still firing on all cylinders with the support of all of you. Mikey G, Tim, Nate, Eric, Skate AKA Ike/Peyton, Vinny, Treck, Will, Josh, etc...

THANK YOU ALL FOR A FANTASTIC 2014 SEASON AND WE HOPE TO BRING YOU YET ANOTHER ACTION-PACKED 2015!

And, of course, the league founder Nick. I was going to leave you unnoticed since it almost went without saying, but you've been one of the coolest brahs I've met and hung out with. I occasionally talk about people over at GOMA, but it's been a bit more difficult to really establish much with my characters over on EFR. Here, I find that there's a pretty open environment for character development and I've tried to capitalize on that to the most of my ability. With all of the laughs had and tears shed with your highest of highhs and lowest of lows, you've kept faithful to your creation and your followers. We all can't thank you enough for your dedication despite reality sometimes breaking off your access to AARO.

It's been awesome knowing all of you thru the years, obviously with its highs and lows, but there's nothing better than knowing you have people supporting you in whatever it may be, and I'm so happy that this place is supported (even if it's declined) still, even after everything that's happened. You all have stuck with it and been great friends along the way as well. Yes, sometimes things get slow here due to personal lives, but this isn't gonna last forever, and I'm doing my best to keep it going for as long as it may be. So I'm fully committed to a 2015 and thank you all so much for your support on what this small, unprofessional video game league has become.

OOC: this might not make sense because I'm tired and can't sleep

This site really is my favorite online community and I've been part of quite a few. I've never seen people able to squabble as much as we have over the years yet forgive and forget like we've been able to. I've made a lot of goodd friends on here that I think will remain as years go on, especially now that we've matured. You're all great guys. Even if there's just ten or so of us active, the AARO community is a place I go almost every day. Well done everybody.

Dude I could not have said this better myself. I love it here and cannot imagine not having this semi-anonymous place to talk about whatever, with people who share at least interest in an obscure game. I hope we keep this for years.

It's good to see this place rejuvinated.

As a suggestion though, maybe you guys should clean out the clutter from stuff that hasn't been touched in years? Streamline it a bit?

I'd love if we could delete all those inactive forums at the bottom. Nick has the final say on that, though.

Go on ahead. I would have but I'm lazy
