Site Update
A community-focused user event brought to Aywas by Chianya (#12264) and a Slashbot.
Life might give you lemons, but Aywas gives you Love Lemons. <3
This event marks the end of our user event marathon for a little while, so enjoy this one!
"Sometimes we all need to be given a reason to love life, and once we have that reason, we start to see many other reasons that we hadn't noticed before. This event strives to make you love your life on Aywas a little more, in the hopes that it will drive you to realize other reasons to love your life that you may have overlooked in the past. So during this event, please take some time to remember those who have passed on, as well as those whom were taken away from the world against their will. Then please take some more time to reflect upon the reasons that you have to love your life, large or small." -- Chianya

We have created a family of threads to illustrate our compassion and outreach, and hope that you make use of them, whether it's by lending an ear, sharing an experience, or offering support.

While participating in these threads, please be sure to be mindful of the ToS so as not to discuss inappropriate topics. Thank you!
We will be having a lot of fun with this event over the next few days and have some awesome goodies planned, but here's a sneak peek at one if you want to get started a little early. ;)
A phoenix, symbolizing blazing rebirth and a thrilling existence.
Have fun!

This a very good idea. Well done. We all need those reminders from time to time of what really matters and what carries us through the harder times.

This is touching and beautiful. Thank you so much Chianya. Too many terrible things happen in life, and too many of us are very well acquainted with loss and helplessness. It's good to have something, even if it's just a day on a site, to say 'you can do it, the bad things don't last forever, stay strong'. I honestly can't thank you enough.
