The Ship Harbour
Right then, since this place produces more ships than South Korea (look it up), I've decided to record all instances of shipping (i.e. placing two people in a fictional relationship) between users. Not only the instances of shipping, however, but also what caused the ship to be created in the first place. This'll include everything from chat screenshots (ONLY screenshots, no logs) to threads and blog comments.
A couple of rules...
1) The cause of the ship must be visible. What constitutes as a cause is too difficult to define exactly, but in general it's a show of affection or interest/giving attention coming from the shipped users.
2) The ship must be of the form "[Ship name] confirmed" and must be shown in the screenshot/thread.

I wanted as many people as possible to notice me coming back, so I decided to come back on Easter Sunday. The day the resurrection of Christ is celebrated. And no, I'm not comparing myself to him, I'm just "copying" the resurrection/coming back thing.
I'll speak with the rem…
It's the end... but the moment has been prepared for
Well, it's been twelve years. Twelve years since I joined LEGO.com. November 25, 2005. I remember quite clearly having a LEGO account before that, but for the sake of simplicity I always used that date for the "age" of my account.
Twelve years, the same amount of time I spent in England before moving to Germany, funnily enough.
But the Message Boards, the only place I could celebrate such an "achievement", are now dead, buried, and deleted. "Celebrating" such an occasion here wouldn't make much sense. So why am I mentioning it?
Well, here's the thing. The Wiki's basically dead. Not buried, or deleted, but quite dead, that's certain. Only a few users come in here every day. And for most of the time, they don't say much. The hive of activity, …
