(Thanks, gamus!)
Dear Unreal Software users,
Today is 27th of August, a very special day for me and few other users. Why, you might ask?
It's a day where I want to show how much I am glad that this community is still alive, I am glad that there are many fine users who care about this community (will explain later), how many great threads have been created - What is your favorite shit colour? is an example - and how the community managed to deal with certain people and with events tied with it.
I want to show it to you by my creation I started making back in 2014, where it all started as a joke at this thread and I made my first "userbar" too (thanks to Seekay's idea). I have to admit, it was made to mock certain users (you can see it below my profile /EDIT: Not anymore, thanks to Starkkz), but after few weeks (and couple of bans), I started thinking about how it could be turned into something bigger... with some meaning.
So, here it is, wall of fame and shame, enjoy!
Warning! Huge image! And by huge I mean HUGE.
Aaaand, not to forgot, here is also credits sheet.

While I am at it, I might as well promote work of others, that is related to Unreal Software - they are great, check them out!
As I promised, I will explain the meaning of caring about community.
I will start with something what is still considered "fresh". I am talking about ex-moderator KimKat. As we all know, KimKat (I will use his old nickname) was at some point quite normal guy - maybe his posts were unnecessarily long, but whatever - up until his last creation, de_cache. Without any valid reasons, Kim banned several users for sharing their opinion with others.
But it didn't stop at that. KimKat started being inexplicably sensitive to everything and banned users for insanely high durations - including 4 weeks. That, along with his behaviour, brought him to a sad end.
However, he is no longer a moderator thanks to the community and caring users and mods, which is why I said it.
Other examples are (now notoriously known) users, such as legendary Picias, MrShock and Dev1lass. Or even Erik963, and many others. Needless to say, the community dealt with them.
The community has also dealt with many hackers and idiots on it's own. I mean, several retards left thanks to some users.
I would also like to say - and this is mostly for moderators - that we, users, are not as bad you might think. Sure, we are mocking trolls and shit-posters to some degree, but then again, we can also have a nice discussion about anything. Examples given below:
Pigtales!
Which country will win the World Cup 2014
Riots in Ukraine; revolution
Retirement
And with that, I would like to end my post here. I want to thank you community, for being like this. Thank you, for maymays. Thank you, for well invested Time.
Oh, I almost forgot. Today, it's also Yates's anniversary (5 years)! Congratulations mate!

Bottom line: tl;dr : click on images and reply with appropriate meme and discuss all the events
