It's been a couple months since we formally opened our Community Events forum and I'm psyched about the turnout and participation for the ridiculously huge event we launched with it, the 30 Days of Sonic 2022. In hindsight, it was sheer madness of me to organise and manage something of that scale on my own, but it was 100% worth it. We got some great discussions going, some awesome artwork drawn and some creative games playing too. We launched 30DOS 2022 with the new Achievements system back in June, and I promised a round of limited edition Badges for Sonic Stadium users who participated in the event. All of these Badges have now been given out to members - if you took part in any of the 30 days' worth of activities, give your Profile page a look to see your shiny new trinkets. I wanted to take some time to properly congratulate nine special Sonic Stadium users, who were dedicated enough to take part in EVERY DAY's activity. You've earned an extra-special, limited edition Badge just for that. Well done to the following users: @castell-neath @Dr. Mechano @Iko @Indigo Rush @JezMM @Nix @Ryannumber1gamer @Sonictrainer @WanderingBleats We'll plan some more special events for the future - although they may not all be from me! One of the things I want to encourage with this new forum is fellow SSMBers to get together and collaborate on special projects - so feel free to pitch to me or an SSMB mod any ideas you have for a fun event you want to host on the forum. It could be a collaborative art project, a music album, some sort of live quiz... we're open to suggestions! I have moved a few past events, that used to live on other forums, into this new Community Events forum to keep things organised, so feel free to browse those to see what we were all up to back in 2016 and beyond. I also wanted to quickly share a reminder that @Ryannumber1gamer will be hosting the next Community Event on the forum - the return of the long-running Sonic Musical Spectacular! The initial polling for music tracks has already taken place, but the resulting live music event that will follow is yet to take place - tune in this Sunday (1am UK time) to be part of the festivities! Here's the Calendar entry for it, feel free to give it a Follow to remind yourself. I'm excited to see how we can revitalise friendly community activity across the SSMB through initiatives like this, and Community Events is just one of the things we have. More new features are coming soon.
