Good evening and welcome to our sixth Bell Tree Direct, tenth birthday edition! This weekend marks a very special milestone as it is ten years since we started way back in 2004. And tonight we're in the middle of the longest night of the year on the first day of winter, 4 days before Christmas. Put another log on the fire and get cozy under a big, itchy blanket. We have many stories and gifts to share tonight!
Thumbs Up! We Have a Thumbs Up!
Our newest feature on the forum, is the long anticipated thumbs up button. You can now thumbs-up/like a post.
We also hope this cuts back on some of the posts that fall under our post quality rule. Now you can click the thumbs up if you want to express agreement, but don't have much more to contribute.
Gyroids Emoticons Return
Until 3 years ago we had original gyroid smilies. I'm proud to announce that they are now back. This new set is created by Thunder. We'll also be creating some more uniques ones in the future.
(Original gyroids made by ƒish, vB default we have used, new ones made by Thunder)

10 Year Collectible
Introducing our newest collectible in celebration of our tenth birthday: Astral Inner Planet Floating Gold #10. This floating gold #10 is a long way from home, floating in distant space, shimmering under the stars of the universe.
From now until New Year's Day, you will be able to purchase this collectible in the shop for 10 bells. After that, it will never be sold again. This means in the distant year of 2020... even as far as 2200... you will be able to display this special collectible to show that you were here on our tenth birthday!

A Visible Announcement
We will be changing our policy with the Invisible Mode feature under General Settings. Starting on March 1, 2015 the forum will be charging bells to use this feature. We couldn't have a holiday direct without a special present from the Grinch, sorry!

A Very Merry Restock
We've restocked lots of chocolate cakes for our tenth birthday party!
That's it though!
Remember, that the Christmas holiday shouldn't be about material things like collectibles! Try to think about others before yourself because you will find that your heart will be filled with joy instead of a constant longing for what you don't have or what you have yet to achieve in this world. The rewards from giving last much longer than what you get from receiving. That's our Christmas message from us to you this holiday! I hope you give it some thought and may you all have a Lovely Ten Year Celebration, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
