what do you mean its been a year omg,,, it's been so cool watching the clans grow from the colonies and being able to participate in the growth as everyone ICly learns how to navigate the warrior code and settle into their territories. OOC its been a pleasure to chat with so many new and old faces and I've been really loving seeing all of these cool character concepts and plots pop up around the community <3
 
HAPPY ONE YEAR PURRGY!!!
i remember joining back in november of last year, and while i didnt really post before, i had lurked and was able to make a few friends thru my other friends posting and interacting. cant be happier to have a relaxing, positive environment to get me back into roleplaying after a few bad experiences the past few years. thank you purrg for being an awesome site and i cant wait for even more!! (and to be active this next year >:))
 
full disclosure i've got tears in my eyes rn i am literally crying for this badge /lh
super sappy post incoming

OK SO the og staff teams knows that i had been just a month after the worst day of my life when we first created the discord server :^) purrgatory has truly been my safe space for a variety of reasons over the past year, from the very beginnings where a friend group just wanted something fun. i truly do consider myself lucky to have been invited to create this place from scratch, and to still be here with you guys, GOING STRONG! i'm not even in any other RP space at the moment .. haven't been for a hot minute. purrgy is truly all i need, because it has it all: the environment, the commitment, the COMMUNITY. it's impossible for me to feel lonely when you guys are here. it's amazing

i remember when we were still crafting this xenforo platform and i made the entire site a very vibrant, blinding blood red. idk man i think we should have kept that. but dark gray is good too i guess /j
one of my more recent fond memories is when i was sitting in VC with a couple other friends; some drawing, some streaming, some gaming. it really just felt like we are in one room together ... parallel play !! it felt super cozy. purrgy often brings me to a much better headspace, it truly lifts me when i need something to keep me going. maybe that's #CRINGE because this is just a silly kitty rp, but ... all of you, from the veterans to the newest members, make it into something so much more :)
 
I've been staring at my screen for the past 10 minutes trying to think of what to say. Be warned, this is undoubtedly going to be horrifically sappy. Please grab a mop in advance.

Crazy to think it's been one whole year since I joined. I was originally unsure about joining. By some stroke of luck (THANK YOU DEI!!!), I decided to give it a chance and I'm so glad I did! You guys were all so kind and welcoming from the start. I made that stinky little idiot in ShadowClan and no one held back in showering me with plots and welcomes. In the time since then, I've reconnected with old friends, made cherished new ones, I've cried, laughed, and just about everything in between. Being on staff has been a delight too, being able to contribute to this wonderful site in any small way I can. I'm hoping to many more years ahead because it's honestly been such a blast, and I'm truly grateful to everyone who had a part in making this wonderful site. I can tell it was a labor of love and that you guys worked really hard.

Please be proud of what you've made.

To all my friends... You're all the light of my life. I have a reason to look forward to each day because it has you in it.

Shoutout to @deidre, @shinyotachi, @carat, @muddly, @catburger, @hellybear, @BUZZ, and @TARU and @teddy. It's made me SO happy getting to rp with you guys again! We've been through some times together. We drifted apart for a while but somehow made our way to each other again, so here's to many more.

@DessertDingo and @ScremeEgg you guys are so kind and fun to be around. Please keep being my friends so I can throw all my dumb little guys at you. RUSTCLAWS FOREVER!!!!

@Monte and @phoenixwashere, we've been together from the beginning, and look how much chaos we've caused. Proof that there are platonic soul mates in this world because you guys are mine. Never stop making me cry over our OCs or yapping about multi-time lines and Deadwood lore with me, I beg you.

@lionharted I'm cursing you with a 1000 years of plots so you'll never escape me and will continue to be my friend. I know life's has been mean to you lately, but I'm glad you keep coming back. I would be amiss with our feral plotting sessions and taking turns at making one another cry. May Wadder one day know happiness again and our angsty shadowclan siblings be together forever.

@velou In another AU, Pike/Adder were probably star-crossed lovers, and I refuse to think anything less. They will be happy one day, and all will be well, I say as they drag me away to the white room. No but fr, RC has been so fun with you in it. You've entertained all of my crazy plot ideas, no matter how wild, and it's been SO FUN. Never stop bombarding me in DMs about our OC's.

@KARMEN Coding wizard extraordinare and my friend, please know that being able to plot with you over the last two months has been a joy. I bombard you daily, and you've never complained. Meadowpaw and Dimmingsun have been such fun to write, and I look forward to whatever lies ahead for them.

@Purrgy staff there are too many of us i'd cry if I had to tag you all. It has been amazing getting to work with you all. We've been through ups, downs, twists, turns, but it's always a joy. I never knew just how hard you all worked to keep this site going until I joined the team, especially you @Rai. We appreciate everything you've done for us and continue to do for us. May you always know the happiness in your life that this site has given me.

@gonkpilled (shadowclan father aka poo) and @tieirlys (thunderclan mother aka eden) its been amazing getting to be a part of your clans. I know it's a hell of a lot of work and my characters have done nothing but cause chaos and headaches, but please allow them to stay a little longer. Not that you could get rid of Fleafire if you tried Poe, I'm afraid she's parasitic, and even if she got stolen or died, she'd still come crawling back one way or another. Also, I'll never recover from the Serp/Juni (formerly) angst. My therapy bill is getting out of control.

@Howee We haven't known each other long, but we've become fast friends. You're such a fun and kind person, it's no surprise to me as to why. Yew and Meadow are doomed to break my heart in some fashion, but I hope their friendship persists. Can't wait to throw more of my characters at you.

@nya You've taken us for a wild ride over the previous month, and I'll never recover. Thank you for sharing your endless supply of yuri with me, I'll pay back with interest someday. RIP Serp, may the fields of starclan be lined with poison and lesbians in your honor.

@chuffera On a whim, I decided to make a barncat for eventual WindClan. On your suggestion, I made Meadow and introduced her to Nutmeg's family. Never would I have guessed she was gonna end up MCA or how important she would be to me. She's become my comfort character, and I look forward to all her future plots, especially with Nutmegpurr. Mist, please forgive your mentor and come visit him in exile. He's an idiot, but he's so proud of you.




You all deserve 1000-word essays on how much I appreciate you but I'm beat. Thank you for hearing out all my gross sappiness. Anyway, badge please.
