I suppose it's no surprise, but I am thankful for all of you. Each and every one of you continue to inspire me and push me to be the best I can be. As far as I am concerned, you're all apart of my family, and you're welcome to eat with me.
Just know that sometimes your real family may not be so cool, sucks that it happens, but it'll be OK. Please continue being your best self, because you're awesome.
The next big project I will be working on is a complete redesign / makeover of the SCG website.
I've been working on it already a bit here and there, mostly playing with designs. The SCG site is something I've been working on and maintaining for quite some time, always held back by distractions, delays, etc. I will be dedicating some time to making it my single top priority soon.
Websites are a personal hobby of mine, I like making them, and making neat things for them. Much like an artist, I've always been learning and refining my skills, and looking at old work as examples of "what I could do best then, but can do better now". The SCG site is no different. It's time to make my magnum opus. No more distractions, no more rushing.
Part of the motivation comes from something I read from a popular furry clothing brand, who blamed their website as the reason for their shortcomings.
In addition, this will come with a code cleanup for Poe and Arty. As my first ever project using Node, the way they're designed compared to what I know how to do today is ... not great. Optimizing how they work will ultimately benefit everything else.
These two projects will culminate in a better ability to manage the community, while we have things like moderation down, I want to work on improving community interaction next! We will be able to have more raffles, contests, content sharing, etc. I do not want the community to feel as though it primarily exists on Discord, a problem that plagues a lot of internet culture today. We can be better!
While appreciated, but not required, I will share my Patreon link because it's been asked that I try and do more in-depth dev blogs, and this will be the best project to get into the groove of doing so with! https://www.patreon.com/c/rowedahelicon
Thank you all for being apart of SCG, may we continue to thrive in the years ahead!
Wow, 14 years and we're still here, definitely never imagined that.
Not only are we still here, we're still going strong! Meeting new people all the time, finding new experiences, broadening our horizons! I have no plans to slow down or stop, there's always more in the works, and more fun to be had.
Thank you all for being apart of this amazing community, I love each and every one of you! <3
Let's keep on keeping on~!

Hello, I wanted to share a small update regarding our 12 player DM server, located at furfortress.com:27041
We have removed the splatter plugin, reverted our change to dynamite, and removed our additional weapons upon spawn, returning that server to a vanilla experience!
Our 24 player TDM server is unaffected and presently will remain that way. We wanted to help offer a vanilla experience and keep our silly customizations contained in one spot! As always, we appreciate those who choose to play with us and hope to see more of everyone in the future! As a reminder, we can be reached anytime using /report; Fraeven and I's DMs are also always open for assistance, feedback, critique, etc~!
