It's been a while. Hey everyone!
I just wanted to chime in and let you guys know that something super special happened a few days ago; something monumental. Surreal turned five years old. Wow, we're old! As the founder of Surreal, I can say that we have definitely been through our ups and downs. This clan has not been perfect, and there have been times where we have come pretty darn close to perfect, too.
To reach five years as an active clan is a huge achievement; though I cannot emphasise the importance of your contributions as members and staff enough. Without all of you, this clan would not be breathing, we would not have a community, and there would be nobody to care for it. It is you guys that keep this flame alive, so thank you so much for making it all happen every day.
Creating and being a part of Surreal for the majority of this time has been a huge honour of mine, and to see this clan turn five really hits home as an important milestone. However, I was nowhere near the only reason this clan is standing right now. I need to firstly thank our current staff team. I see the work that goes into this clan, and they are trying really hard to raise the potential success of Surreal. Thanks so much to all of you for making this happen! Our current crop of staff are very talented and passionate about this clan; work with them to make this clan go beyond its limits!
Previous staff who have made very notable contributions must not be forgotten. The work of the likes of Danny, Jos, Meg, Shay, Bug, Pixey, Angus, Blur, Killians, Joey and Tay (that was in no particular order) during the early days really helped cement this clan's legacy for future years. Old Jon is still awesome, by the way.
Please consider this post a sincere reminder of how we got here. We must always remember our roots, and we as a clan can only move forward and improve if we can band together with a common cause in mind. Seeking to fulfill our mission got us to this point.
Surreal can only succeed if it has purpose and a cause to follow. If we are simply here to host events and run competitions for the sake of doing them, we are losing the essence of what this clan is. When our actions and ideas have purpose and meaning, there is no limit to what we can achieve together. Never forget that, guys. If you're serious, show it, and this clan will reach 10 years comfortably.
Happy late birthday, Surreal. You are all awesome, and thank you again

You are no better than anyone else, and no one is better than you.
