'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the ship,
Not a circuit was buzzing, not even an iso-chip.
The Admins hung by their boards in despair,
with hopes that phpBB3 Gold would soon be there.
The users were nestled all snung in their beds,
while visions of prosilver danced in their heads.

When out of the phpBB Teams there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter.
And what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but AcydBurn, he was programming some cheer.

And who was with him, but the whole development team,
Programming Olympus, and the prosilver theme.
They wanted to release it by Christmas you see,
So that we?d have something to decorate, along with our tree.

After five years of waiting, Gold was finally ready,
We can celebrate now, along with Bertie the teddy.
The users unwrapped the zip files, opened them with glee,
squeals of delight, they now have phpBB3.

The team spoke not a word, went straight back to work,
on to 3.2, they began programming with a smirk.
But I heard them exclaim, as the programmed with all their might,
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night!"

Merry Christmas, Anonymous. :clapping:

Hello Anonymous,

Thank you for being part of our community this last year.
This has been a fun year and now, near the end of it, we get to see the Gold release of phpBB3.
Lots of things happening around this community, here's a look back at 2007.

Highway of Life became the cohost of phpBBWeekly
Highway of Life was invited to the phpBB MOD team.
Evil3 was invited to the phpBB MOD team.
A_Jelly_Donut was invited to the phpBB MOD team.
And now me :) yes, I joined the group of STG members on the phpBB MOD team (we're taking over :twisted:)

Evil3 was awarded the phpBB Hacks MODDER of the year for 2007.
Highway of Life started and is hosting the phpBB Bytecasts (official mini podcasts)
phpBB is now collaborating with Joomla.
phpBB3 Gold was released.

And of course, we've added a great group of guys to the teams here at StarTrekGuide, who I would also like to take this moment to thank.
John HJorth, Sniper_E, stitch626, Evil3, Michaelo, Guttsy, Semi_Deus, LiamMac, harmlessgoat22, Ika, ..::Frans::.., A_Jelly_Doughnut, JDH, ElbertF, Hank the Cowdog and my partner in Crime Highway of Life
I would like to thank you all for making this community what it is today.

And a special thanks to everybody that has supported StarTrekGuide this past year.
And a big thanks and a hug :hug: for Patricia, who had helped us keep a healthy level of insanity in the Ten Forward Lounge :good:
With the help of all these people, there are lots of things planned for this next year? of course it will take time, but please stop in and let us know of any ideas you have for StarTrekGuide.
Already some great ideas on the plate for this next year :)

Anyways, I talk too much ;)
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hi! Hallo! Hola! Goddag! Hej! Dzien' dobry! Salve! Aloha! Bonjour! Hei! Ahoj! Ahalan! Parev! (and the list goes on--believe me)

Whatever your language may be, (and it has to be one of them--it'd be very strange if it wasn't) I would like to say Merry Christmas to you, Anonymous! I hope you enjoy the 2007 holiday season--it'll only come once! Enjoy it while you can!

I'd also like to say how much I have enjoyed the past while with all of you. It's been a terrific year, and a major one is my "short" life. I appreciate all I have had communication with, and I hope that anyone that does not know me will get to know me sometime before 2009 roles around.

Cheers to phpBB3. Cheers to STG. Cheers to us all. Have a great Christmas, Anonymous, and a terrific New Year.

Hi there Anonymous,

Many Happy wishes from me, and ofcourse the rest of the STG Staff. Thank you very much for being a part of this great community.
We hope you will enjoy the phpBB 3.0 Gold package, now it has been released. I know i will!
I've been around here since beta 1, and i began my interest for styling phpBB 3.x.
Now after 1 year ive grown to a full style developer, and know all the ins and outs of it.
I hope i will be able to teach you what i know, and you will be able to have that, or even more, knowledge too.
And remember, keep on trying, and do not be afraid to ask us!
I hope we will see you around again next year. Have a great Christmas, and a very, very Happy New Year.
See you in 2008!

Hey Anonymous,

In this holiday season we often reflect upon our past year focusing on the people that have influenced us the most. For some of us that may be our families. While I will be spending my Christmas with my offline family, I want to take a moment and wish my online family a most joyous holiday. I would personally like to Thank You for being part of our community. I hope your family has as rewarding a holiday as I know mine will. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us here at STG!

Hey there, Anonymous!

I'd like to thank you personally for being a part of the StarTrekGuide community. Thank you so much for helping STG become what it has become. It wouldn't be the same without each and every member of Star Trek Guide. Including you, Anonymous :)

I remember the very first days of Star Trek Guide. It was meant to be a forum for Star Trekkers everywhere, instead it became a full-blown phpBB3 testing site, now with over 4,200 users and some 48,500 posts.

And phpBB3 Gold, what a wonderful Christmas present. Thanks for seeing phpBB3 through 5 years of development.

I hope you have a magnificent, safe, and joyful Christmas this year, Anonymous.
(P.S. Don't let the Bertie Bear bite! :help: )

Merry Christmas... Image

Merry, Merry Christmas, Anonymous.

Each individual STG has assimilated helps bring us closer to perfection. With such harmony and cohesion, we will indeed achieve greatness.

As the Doctor would say, "A vote of Borg confidence! Who can argue with that?" :yahoo:

It has been another wonderful year here at STG, and we appreciate each and every one of you for your own unique contributions (which will only get better when we link you all to the hive mind). ;) While you are a valuable member of our collective, Anonymous, I invite you to disengage your link temporarily and spend some time with your family and friends as well during these next few days. Christmas only comes around once a year, and it is a special season for the warmth and companionship of your fellow drones.

See? Despite what the Doctor said, we Borg are not the party poopers of the galaxy. Borg can party out like you wouldn't believe. After you've been assimilated, you'll see what I mean. :twisted:

If you were trapped by a wormhole or another spacial anomaly and happen to be separated from your collective during this Christmas, I hope that you at least received long-distance love in the form of Christmas cards - unless you're out of subspace range. If you're so far out of subspace range that the only transmission you're able to receive is this one, then since I speak for the Borg, I would like to say to you, Anonymous, on behalf of the STG collective: May the peace, joy, and love of the first Christmas be with you this Christmas and always.

It is at Christmas time that a song like this can bring a tear to a Borg drone's eye. I, Seven of Nine, would like to sing you one of my favorites.

I'm dreaming tonight
Of a place I love
Even more than I usually do.
But although I know
It's a long road back,
I promise you...

I'll be home for Christmas;
You can count on me.
Please have snow,
And mistletoe,
And presents by the tree.

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas,
If only in my dreams...


Merry Christmas to you, Anonymous.
Love and blessings,
Seven of Nine
