Happy Birthday!

Holy Worlds is five years old today! Five years has passed extremely fast!

How many years has everyone been here as of today? I joined on October the 22nd 2010, so I have been here for four years this month! It has passed so quickly I can't believe it really is that long.

What memory during your time here stands out to you the most?

For me, a memory that I will always remember fondly will be during April Fools, Jaynin and Airianna swapped usernames and confused everyone. We had a fun time that week!

A great memory for me was also when a group of us set up the Holy Worlds Historical Fiction forum. :)

I've been here since September of 2012, so I've been here just over two years, I think. My, has time flown since Varon invited me here...

What memory... I'm going to stick to good memories for this. :) One memory that stands out to me the most was when Lycanis adopted me as his little sister, making him my first adoptive sibling. :)

Some other great memories are when I was on my first Skype call, and NotThatShort was trying to convince me that everyone was friendly, but I was too shy to talk until Airianna brought up old movies and Gary Cooper. Gosh, I miss those Skype calls.

Oh, and how can I forget the memories of finding friends I thought I'd never talk to again on here? BushMaid, Elly, a young lady known as Featherpen... I met them all on a writing forum years ago that only people under 18 can join. They all left and I never thought I'd see them again. I was so surprised when I found out they were here!

So yeah. Those are some of my fonder memories. It's crazy to look back two years and see how much both HW and my life have changed.

Happy Birthday, Holy Worlds!

I joined around the same time you did, Stephanie. :D

What I remember most is meeting a lot of good friends. :)

Happy birthday, people! ^_^

I've been here for two years, sort of. It's been awesome.

I think one of my favorite memories was exploring Vadra. * grins * And meeting all my friends....

Happy Birthday, Holy Worlds! :D

I joined in June 2012, I think, so almost two and a half years. I've had lots of inactivity phases, though (Like over the past four months) so if we're talking about time we spend on here, mine's probably closer to one or one and a half years.

My fondest memories of this forum are the cheerful conversations had in Chat and adopting all of my siblings.

I've been here a while. Don't remember how long. I can't even look down at the my profile to see the date I joined, because that's from when I was accidentally deleted and resurrected in purple. I was here quite a while before that too.

I've got far too many memories here to just pick one.

Happy birthday HolyWorlds!

I stumbled in here on November 15, 2012 and I've enjoyed my stay. :)

As for memories, there are so many that it's hard to pick out one, however, I will say, making friends to make memories with is one of the best kind of memories! ;)

@Dreamer: And you in turn, did the same for me. And I thank you for that. :)

Now... Who brought the cake?!

Happy birthday, Holy Worlds!! :dieshappy:

I've been here since December 2011. Yikes! That means I've been here almost 3 years. I hadn't realized that. It's been an awesome journey. If it wasn't for Holy Worlds pushing me to be better, I wouldn't be published right now.

I was your first adoptive sibling? I didn't realise that. :) You're very welcome. Thank you for being an awesome little brother. :)

We're going to extend the birthday for a little, so people have more time to spend writing up entries for the drabble contest. :D We'll say until Wednesday for now! :)
