Today marks the 15th anniversary of The Bell Tree's official opening on December 19, 2004. Many things have changed, not just on the forum, but in the whole world over these last fifteen years! This is an accomplishment that few other online communities have made and it's all of ours to celebrate! It's only been possible thanks to our dozens of staff and tens of thousands of members that have come and gone during all of these years. Thank you to all of you for being a part of this community and helping to keep the forum as lively as ever.
To celebrate such a milestone, we have been hosting our Red Balloon World Tour event with this week's theme dedicated to the site's birthday. As you can see, we have also filled the site's banner with an absurd amount of balloons, which is a tradition that started back in 2013.
If you stay persistent with these events, you'll be able to receive the long-awaited red balloon collectible. We can now confirm that the total number of events will be 13, which means that the current balloon token prices in the shop are now final. In celebration of TBT's birthday, we are giving out one free balloon token each to help you towards this goal! One event can be skipped in order to receive the red balloon, but if you're still a few short, blue and green are also available for less tokens.
The Bell Tree is quite ancient now, so what better way to celebrate an old birthday than an old cake? For Red Balloon World Tour's birthday week prizes, we have decided to replace the tasty cake collectible with the original cake collectible, commonly now referred to as "stale cake." This will give you the opportunity to pick up another retired collectible this year. If rotting old cake isn't your cup of tea, the tasty cake is still being sold for bells, and at a discounted amount for the special occasion.
Finally, we have a second giveaway today for all of you in appreciation of your membership and commitment to the community. Click here for your birthday party favor of 50 bells! As we look ahead to a new year on the forum and, finally, a new game, we also remember all of the fun times we've had playing Animal Crossing together. TBT has been the internet home of so many different people over the last one and half decades and we hope to keep it going for many more years to come!
