[Reverie]

Reflect on your forum's achievements, popular threads, memorable discussions from the past year. What were some standout moments of your community?

Some may say opening! The first 10 members! A large anniversary! This is a great place to share some of your great achievements of the 2023 year here!

Here are some I can think of:

• We hit 1500 members and 15000 posts this year.
• 12 new skins were posted this year.
• 22 new JavaScript codes were posted this year.
• We added a doHTML Templates forum and one user alone who came up with the idea posted 32 templates in the forum.
• We hit our 5th anniversary.
• We developed a vastly improved resources index.
• We finally added a custom domain.

Thee Zone was formed by merging Rikaji, VG Challenges, and Battlebots Nation. Since the niches were similar I wanted to just make one mega forum. Gex Forums was founded as well, with the announcement of the Gex Trilogy, I thought we needed a dedicated forum for the series though a subreddit and Discord server exists.
