Original post available at https://wetdry.world/@splatoon/113144306396635775. Please follow us on Mastodon if you haven't done so already, we're still getting nothing mirrored over here which is really frustrating.
Now that the Grand Festival Splatfest is over and Splatoon 3 having less happening from now on, I would just like to reassure everyone here that we will continue actively posting about the game. Things may be less frequent, but I am determined to continue reporting on the Splatoon series here (and the Animal Crossing series at @[email protected]).
I'm hoping we'll be able to host more events soon to keep things fresh. But for now, I would like to issue a thank you to everyone reading this post for supporting this account for about a year and 9 months.
It's been truly inkredible being able to grow this community and I want to continue having a vibrant community even with the future of Splatoon 3 being uncertain. I would also like to use this space to say thank you to a few individuals.
For starters, thank you Essem and Emma IPG for being amazing admins on this server! Also, thanks @[email protected] for maintaining a safe space for squids to hang out in!
Even though I don't really know either of you, thank you @[email protected] for continuing to datamine content in Splatoon 3 as well as reporting on news (it's quite handy) and thanks @[email protected] for operating the SplatoonNA mirror here.
I'd also like to thank the team at @[email protected]: particularly @[email protected], @[email protected] and @[email protected]. They've been doing a splatastic job of reviving servers for Splatoon 1 and various other Wii U/3DS titles. I'm looking forward to potentially working with the team in the future for early access to Splatfest information etc once the servers are ready. I also currently moderate for Pretendo's forums, so be sure to say hi if you see me around.
Finally, thank you to @NorthWestWind in particular for assisting with the operation of our Matrix and Discord spaces.
Oh, and also, I know nobody at Nintendo will see this but thank you. I don't know what I'd be doing online now if this game didn't exist.
I'll be publishing a more lengthy post on other platforms soon.
still sad that we're not mirroring to Lemmy, rip
