I know I've only been a member here for five months but being an admin and one of the oldest members here, I felt like starting the celebrations here! I want to take this chance to reflect on my time here at FM Scout and I would love it if you all would do the same! 
I have been a regular visitor of this site for many years now. I remember the first story that really glued me here, Joannes3000's Newport County - An Old Face In A Familiar Place. It made me realise how great a site this is. I then got glued to Glenn T's stories and Kiwi's trip to South Africa last year.
It was 29th July when I became a member here. I remember the first thing I did, I wanted to do a KuPS story but didn't know if people would be interested so I asked on chat. Back then it was so quiet, only two people were on and those two were Gurdit and Sniper99. They said they would be interested in seeing a story of a Finnish team so I went head-first in to it.
I personally felt that it was a huge success, being my first story. I remember finishing the story. There was one particular member who was very disappointed to see it finished. Little did I know that we would become as close as brothers now. He has great ideas, great passion and is a great friend. His name is Or Dabool. He inspired me to write my Ronnie Whelan story which the data loss unfortunately killed. We have been supporting each other all the time now. We are not so different, we love writing stories and we love being here.
I think not writing a story recently has really opened my eyes, however. I have become a part of the staff team here, I have always tried to be first to help people and support every single story. I have discovered there is a whole new side to FM Scout, apart from the stories. It really made me realise what being a member means. It means being a student, being a mentor, being a guide, being a friend. This community is the greatest community in the world and I challenge anybody who dares pto try prove me wrong! We are strong, our recovery since the Data Loss during November 27th proves that. We are passionate, our stories prove that. We are helping, our guides prove that. And we are friendly, our Live Chat proves that.
So from all the staff of FM Scout, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
