<p>
First and foremost your admins and mods wish you a Very Merry Supernatural Christmas. We know that during this time everyone is with family and friends, shopping, and cooking, gaining weight that they’ll make a resolution to lose, and over all just busy. That’s fine. Don’t feel obligated to come on and post right now, we know that the holidays are a busy time for all and we hope that you’re enjoying this time of year.
<p>
<center>The War Plot</center>
<p>
Since this is a busy time of year we’ve decided we’ll start the war plot after the first of the year. Figure around January 5th – 10th -ish. This gives people time to have their Holiday fun and settle back into things, get caught up on the board and not be completely stressed out by having one more thing on their plate. It’s supposed to be fun after all.
<p>
<center>CBox Being Condensed</center>
<p>
Since ShoutMix is going paid only and their prices are ridonkulous we’re going to combine the OOC and IC box into one. This means guests will be popping in from time to time to say hello and ask questions. I’m going to ask all members to be courteous, respectful, and make any and all guests feel welcome.

<center>HELP WANTED
<p>
Note: This is NOT a staff position.
<p>
We’re looking for someone to help us finish writing the Hunter’s Journal. This person would collaborate with Sully and Stepha to get it written up. These won’t be copied directly from the books or SPN lore. They are meant to be written in a separate voice, but stay true to the facts. Whoever helps will of course be given credit with the rest of the people who helped to work on this.
<p>
Anyone interested please PM Sully or Stepha.
<p>
<center>New Year – New Layout</center>
We’re doing a new layout for SS which will be up by the first of the year. Your admins are hard at work putting it together, and since The Graphics Goddess Stepha is going to be doing the new graphics we’re not going to have awards for December. Besides, it’s a slow month and it will give everyone a break a on having to vote and things like that.
<p>
Also that being said, Freak of The Week will be taken away. I’m fairly certain it’s served its purpose. However The Informant will still be around. Don’t be surprised if you get a random PM tossing people into threads from time to time – or maybe tossing a curveball into a current thread. Who knows? The Informant is tricky like that.
<p>
<center>Watch Out For Changes</center>
With all this going on the forums are going to be moved around a little and reorganized as well. So just keep an eye out and if you have any questions or notice any problems feel free to let us know.
<p>
<center>MAY YOU HAVE A VERY MERRY SUPERNATURAL CHRISTMAS AND MAY THE NEW YEAR BRING HEALTH, WEALTH, AND HAPPINESS TO YOU ALL.</center>
