Wotcher, my favourite little fuzzlemonsters!
It is with great pride and a small amount of bewilderment that I make this thread; precisely ten years ago, I was in the process of setting up a silly puzzle thread in the charity forum, having the vague idea that it might be entertaining for a short while. A decade later, it is a behemoth - a wonderful little community which has experienced all sorts of ups and downs, busy patches and quiet ones, and friendships formed which have expanded far beyond Gaia. I'm very proud of all that it has been, and of all of you! Thank you all for having joined me, whether now or in the past, on the great big ridiculous adventure which is the Intelli-Castle.
It's unlikely that I will be able to host the Castle for much longer - life has a dreadful habit of getting in the way - but I do plan to be here as much as possible for the remainder of 2016. I have several things to add to this thread, but they will remain a surprise until the anniversary weekend. In the meantime, for those of you reading this, please join me in wishing the Castle a very happy tenth birthday! If you feel like sharing, whether you are an older member or a new one, I'd love to hear about any of your favourite moments, memories, puzzles, people, or moments of inexcusable Gent-torture.
Well, perhaps not the last one. I have enough of those to be getting along with.
With great affection and many fuzzles,
G.
EDIT:
I made all of you a special present! I know many of you have seen pictures of RL Gent before, but here's some more of him... just a little Easter Egg for those of you who are still visiting the thread. *waggles eyebrows* Thank you all for your support over the years!
