Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the forums,
Not a spambot was stirring.
Not even the porn ones.
The ShoutBox was pruned
By the staffers with care.
In the hopes that smilie lag
Would never be there.
Debates were nestled
All snug in Gaia,
While most of the arguments
Made all of us sigh.
And Stang in his goatee,
And Tia her hat,
Had just settled down
For a long MSN chat.
When out in the Ban Log
There arose such a clatter
Kira sprang from GFXing
To see what was the matter.
Away to the Prison
They raced like gazelles
Tore open the threads
And blazed through the cells.
The darkness in the corner
Of the nine-by-nine square
Gave no hint of what
Could be lurking there.
When what to their
Wondering eyes should appear
But Cid on the floor,
Nowhere in sight, a reindeer.
"Now Mark, now Argor,
now Ryan and Raye.
Listen Channy and Ringo,
And Mits and Jay.
To each of you I give,
A present, indeed.
Something of which
All of you need.
Inside of each box
An important piece
Of the site as a whole
Without which, it would cease.
Take care of it always,
And it will serve you well.
Take care of each other's.
If they need it, you can tell."
They knew in a flash
The first time they saw.
What kept this site going;
The heartbeat of it all.
As each looked at the object,
Each smiled with delight.
It warmed all their hearts,
On the cold winter's night.
Inside each package,
Unwrapped with care,
I'll show you now,
What was inside of there.....
When you look into a mirror, you see yourself. The members of the site make the site. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to make FFF what it is today, and here's hoping things will only get better in 2011. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, all that jazz.
