This has to be the funniest thing I've ever seen.
I'm designing a bot that will post this picture every time Avu ever tries to post something.

Twoscore and fourteen weeks ago the first Hearth Fires of the world, which to a present posterity has been recorded only as "the First", were lit in this vast and bountiful realm by, indeed, the first of those uncounted brave souls whom it has pleased the vagaries of a peculiar Providence to direct unto us. It is with enduring personal satisfaction that we, therefore, in Hearth's light of this fortuitous annumnal, wish to embrace the opportunity to confer unto the present auditorium a report -- as exhaustive as those natural limitations of foresight and premonition can afford -- on the current and coming states of public affairs.
It is the humble opinion of the Developmental Congress that the efforts exerted over the course of the past year have brought the Hearthlands to a point of advancement beyond what candid and reasonable expectation could prima facie have assumed. The progress of public credit is witnessed, not in the least, by a noteworthy and upward aiming trend in the continual increases of the total amount of both active and registered accounts -- a figure which, as of this writing, in case of the latter, approaches thirty thousands, and, in case of the former, exceeds three of the same.
As is habitual for a natural order undisturbed, new challenges must invariably present themselves where others have been met. In spite of these the fact deserves due mention that the experiences provided a Hearthling by the current order governing these lands is to no small an extent as pleasant and agreeable as they are, also, adequate. Notwithstanding the importance and necessity of further developments and advances within the mechanics that the past year has established, it can be observed that the Pursuit of Happiness carries, among the ranks of Hearthlings, not merely the reverberance of stale dogma, but the confirmation through action of a living principle.
The relative peace and stability consequently afforded compels us to direct the focus of our attention away from temporary expediences, and toward matters pertaining ultimately to the more distant horizons of a longer term. It follows that the length of the development cycle must be proportionably extended. We express our hope and belief that a change of the pace and recurrence of change shall be met by the publicum with the cool and deliberate exertion of patience, firmness, and wisdom.
Among the many interesting challenges that presently present themselves before us, the state of the Server, especially as viewed in light of the aforementioned increases in the sum total of participants in this our common endeavor, merits special consideration.
The proper establishment of a system for the acquisition and advancement of skills, lores and land, capable of replacing that of the Learning Points, while at the same time retaining those aspects of that system that are serviceable, is the object of our immediate labors.
Various considerations render it expedient that the map generator be improved to allow for the impositioning on the map of a more meaningful topology, especially as concerns the macroscopic features of the same.
To increase the value and meaning of manufacture, the resources demanded by those processes of creation must be extended to enforce more interesting complexities, primarily as concerns the dimensions of time spent and ease of execution, the latter not to be determined by the arbitrary rolling of dice. The establishing of specific classes of intellectual resources will be instrumental in the carrying out of said visions.
Gentlemen of the Announcement Forum,
The past year has been one laden with a most sublime and ongoing sense of accomplishment. Your participations, without which the ebbs and flows of development would surely have washed over some other shoals, have been, and remain, our pride, pleasure and sacred honor. We wish to express, in Hearth's light of this fortuitous annumnal, our sincerest gratitude for the year we have behind us, with the fond hope added that you shall remain with us for the one to come.
