I finally decide to create sort of a big umbrella for any site anniversary creations. It applies to everyone and anyone, graphic makers and layout designers and writers and bloggers alike, so check it!

Your AFF Journey!
Tell us how and when you came across the site, what your first username was (if you remember/if it's not the one you still have) and why you continue to stay. What are some of your favorite things about the site? What's something you would love to see on the site in the future? And any other kind messages you'd like to leave! Create a graphic or a layout dedicated to the anniversary! Write a fictional story about your "adventure" coming to AFF. Whatever it may be, tag your post with #AFF5Years, as that would be the easiest way to track them all, and see if you make new friends this way.

I remember, a long time ago, someone told me the date of the site's anniversary was April 5, but why not celebrate for a week? Hey, I do that for my birthday, why not for this? ^-^ I say starting on March 31st, and into the first week of April, we celebrate this momentous occasion with readers, writers, and friends alike. Do this, or whatever you want, for the event, but just remember to tag it with #AFF5Years, so it can be sorted with the rest of the posts. (And do be as nice as you can be...try to not be a buttface and abuse this as an opportunity to bash on the site or other users. Anything malicious can and will be removed, ouo)

Excited to see what people put up! There's still some time left to think of things, and if a really big event pops up, I'm sure there will be a blog post about it somewhere. In the meantime, why not go with this? :D

...in the meantime, if you have the means, contribute to the site fundraiser and help Nichiren get the ball rolling for an AFF app on Android/iOS! Even if you can't, help spread the word! A mobile app has been one of the most asked for things from users, and it looks like a project to attain one is underway. Our goal is $20,000 which can be a little intimidating, but I know we can do it, guys! PLUS: depending on how much you donate, you'll see a little gold star sticker thing under your Settings, signifying that you have the AFF Gold Status as well as some super cool AFF badges! A GOLD STAR, GUYS. HOW COOL IS THAT?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!
