There is a loyal member of this site who's birthday is on the 1st of April. His name is CoreyJason.
I think it is unfortunate that his birthday is at the same time as the annual antics of the staff. I ask for your support in this matter. Thank you.

Some of you may have noticed that the recent update is numbered 1.8.0. and that this was meant to be the update number for the CoreyJason birthday party. We also previously stated that his birthday would be released in stages, with the first stage being released in Summer this year.

After trying very hard to get it running, it is with regret that we bring you some bad news. Since ACC is written in such old code we firstly don't have enough Devs to work on that code. Additionally, despite having a few Devs that are willing to work on the code unfortunately we have very few that are active at the same time as each other. For a project such as the Birthday Party, we require several Devs to collaborate over the same time period. Over the Summer, only a single Dev was able to devote significant time to the Party and that isn't enough to get the feature completed. Even with his excellent skills, while some progress has been made, we're still falling short on help - particularly in the design (HTML, CSS, UI/UX) side of things. The old code complicates it further still.

So, moving forward from here, this is what we see happening short term. With the few Devs that we have who can work on features independently of each other, rather than in a group, we will continue adding some features related to the Animal Crossing games. There are still quite a few items missing or in need of updating for the older games which we'd like to address. You'll be able to see which items we are focusing on by watching the lightbulbs on the Site Features Queue board. Long term, ACC needs the code rewritten as this is the only way to attract a larger team of Developers.

The Party, although not the main focus anymore, will still be worked on as and when possible. However, we will no longer be announcing updates for it. If you'd like to have your say on this announcement about the Party and moving forward, please use this thread.

You will also have noticed that when you logged in you were asked to agree to new Terms again. This is because there have been some changes to the Site Rules. A comprehensive list of the changes are posted in this thread where you can also ask questions of the Modmins about these changes.

Aliquis vestrum observatum recens update 1.8.0 numeratur. Et hoc significatum esse numerum update CoreyJason natalis. Tum etiam in itineribus praemisit natalis esset, cim eo anno primum aestatis tempore dimissi.

Secundum est ut cursor conatur durum est tibi nos conquesti sunt mali. Cam primum ACC apud veteres non satis codice opus Devs, codice. Accedit quod quamvis nonnulli volunt Devs dolor codicem habemus opus activae paucissimis simul inter se. Sicut enim consilium natalis partis pluribus indigemus Devs operam ad idem tempus. Effectu aestas, significant tempus vacare poterat Dev una pars et non satis impetro pluma completum. Etiam consequat optimi quidam progressus fecerint, nos tamen deficit auxilium - praesertim in arte (HTML CSS ui / UX) latus est. Eam porro in veteri codice impedit.

Et hinc incedendo hoc tempus fieri videmus. Paucis Devs qui noverit operari in nobis sine vultus inter se, quam in circulo, ad lineamenta Animal enim transitus semper aliquam felis. Pauca admodum adhuc desunt in vetustioribus ludos quam eget adaequationis ad alloqui libet. Youll videre poterit lightbulbs rerum spectator populus non est positus in queue Site Features tabulam supputatis. Tempore, ut hoc modo revocetur ACC eget codice maiorem rapiendi team of developers.

Et partis principalis focus tamen iam quasi com adhuc exerceri potest. Verumtamen quia non amplius updates nuntiantes. Si velis ut hoc nuntium de Pars incedendo utere quaeso uti filum.

Habebis etiam initium animadvertit cem nova iterum interrogatus acquiescere. Causa est, quia fuerunt mutationes Site regularum. A list mutationum filo constituuntur in hoc quoque possis interrogare de his Modmins consequat.

Sincerely,
GiveMeYourBells

If I recall correctly, your friend CoreyJason had some particularly delicious toes. Shame I lost one.

How come I don't have a special name like you all?

WHOA ITS JADER

Fellow Devs, does anyone know what a "birthday" is? I checked my complimentary copy of "How to Write Code From 1999" that Jader gave me, but it's not mentioned.

hey GiveMeYourBells, I'm confused why you wrote in Latin. Don't you know it's a dead language!

(in all seriousness, please never use Google Translate when translating into Latin. it's completely inaccurate)

"If I recall correctly, your friend CoreyJason had some particularly delicious toes. Shame I lost one. "

Wait. Did you lose the toes or lose CoreyJason again? I told you, this is why we don't have nice things!
