Happy New Year 2018!

[Divey]

I'd say FL has had a SHIT year. Hasn't gone forward (Quite the opposite infact).

I'll have to disagree with you on this one, although you may say it's been a bad one I don't think your 'not going forward' is fair to say.

We've been more transparent to the community

• With the introduction of the 'Strike System' so people can see action happening with abuse cases now.
  
• We've made inactivity announcements public so the players know when certain staff members aren't available.
  
• And we've finally made the prop limit guidelines public so people now know what classifies a dupe as being worthy of a prop extension, along with revealing how an admin can go against theirs.
  
• Last chances are now made more fair.
  

On the development side, we've been extremely busy.

• We've gone through two new maps which are extremely hard to get to live and the fact that we've gone through not one but two is a great testament to the effort everyone put in, especially how swift it was.
  
• We've had many bug fixes, such as the stacker tool.
  
• We've had many new tweaks, such as the gask mask hiding information, fishing rods being available to all jobs and weed being available to citizens and a balancing weapons, which the community have been suggesting for ages.
  
• We've had major updates too, such as new acts, new models, new props and the Delivery Job which allows people to make money passively and the Marketplace to make trade that much easier on the servers and exciting things are always being worked on which I can't wait to be put on live.
  

Countless internal things have also gone on to ensure that the communities interest is put at the forefront.

• We've transitioned the old Moderator rank to Trial Admin to ensure a better way for members to be promoted and overseen.
  
• Along with the introduction of the Event Manager role, where the team can now be more efficient in getting events pushed forward and worked on.
  
• The team are also on good standing with each other and we all get on which is a lovely thing to see and in the past has been rare.
  

All of this has come with a fresh new level of ideas and motivation from a new team, whether it's Owner, SA, Admin, TA, Developer, Contributor, Teacher or even normal players. I am certain 2018 is going to be an even better year.
(Not to mention the infamous Fearless Team song Vol. 2)
