Good morning everyone! It's not quite June yet, but I wanted to get a head start on this.

June is a month of celebration for Crysvalonia! Why? No, it's not because of pride month, though that's enough reason to celebrate. It's because of our species anniversary!

Three years ago, I started the gemstone ponies group again after failing to get it on it's feet a few years prior. We started out with a small 4 person team that eventually expanded to the team we have now. There's been lots of ups and downs throughout the journey to expand the world of Crysvalonia and there will likely be many more as we continue to grow.

If anyone back then had told me that this group would grow to as big as it is, I would have called them crazy, yet here we all are. So I want to thank each and every one of you, from the staff team that has my back, to the active members, to the members that watch from the shadows, to the retired staff, to those who support us without being an active part of the community, to ALL of you I say THANK YOU! Thank you for being here with me.

I've sent a special 3rd anniversary giftbox to all of you on the site so that you all can celebrate this milestone with me! Here's to another 3 years guys!
