Another year is soon over and we all prepare ourselfs into a new year.
But before we are celebrating Christmas and we are looking forward for the Santa Claus who brings those nice presents lets take a look what has happened in a year:
December 2010 - Me and Kwizlord took over the responsibility of running BH. Same time, the !ETF! clan was left to Grubben and Reaper and they got promoted as Owners of !ETF! and BH.
A new server followed and with the help from Hanfling and so we had our own dedicated server. From there started our learning into the world of wonders: Linux.
Today i know the basics and im still learning with the help of Kwiz and my other pc.
Kwiz learned fast and he is the one to thank for all the server side stuff that is done here.
But thats not all. Later we decided to get even better, faster and more suitable server for our needs. We setted new mods and later on we hosted NoQuarter server for the dA clan. Unfortunately it didn't get popular, so we had to take it down, since it was using resources too much.
Then //eft (europeanfunteam) community came in the picture. They had some serious issues with their own server, so we offered to host etpro, teamspeak3 and a war server for them. Today they're doing fine again, server fills up quick and is now more reliable.
I hope we carry on with our friendship and maybe get some tournament setted for the becoming year.
With all the work with server, Kwiz also developed this new site we are looking now. I must say, he has done a very good job! Also the work he has done for our staff is highly appreciated.
There was also some promotions not so long ago. Acizco decided to join our staff and after his trial, he was accepted with no doubts. He is now responsible of our COD4 servers and he assemled own warsquad and maybe they go play official tournament soon.
And Danin, our birthday hero, he got promoted as Owner of BH. He's been here for so long and surely deserved his position. He has and still is one of the most active players of BH.
There is also very important group to thank for: our donators
You can find all of them on forums/donations section. Their support is highly appreaciated! Without them, we may not be here today, so thank you all old and becoming donators for your support !!
Papa Baz: i didn't forget you old friend I'm sure almost all of you know he had a stroke this year. Therefore he wanted to step down from staff, but instead we wanted to keep him and setted him a very own level called Retired Staff
With that level, it was and still is his choice either he wants to take action as admin or not. Today he has recovered very well and he still is also one of the most active players we have Keep on Rocking Jens !!
But with all the good, some not so good has also happened. Few of our members have left or quitted or is missing in action. Some of them have been friends since the beginning, so its sad if you never cant play ET with them again.
If they read this, i just want to tell them it's never too late to come and say hello
I wish them all the best and i hope we meet again.
One thing also worth to mention: our server host
They promised 99% uptime for server and it has been as they said.
Only 2 times server has been offline, but it's been our own fault and we've learned from that
After all we're just humans, so forgive us if we make mistakes
I must've forget something or someone and i'm sorry if i have. Feel free to correct
Anyways these are the highlights that has happened this year. Still few days remaining though
Now i would like to thank all of our regulars players, friends of BH and new players now and in the future.
Special thanks goes for our staff. Keep up the good work
VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
The [DooC] clan ofc !!! They put their own servers down and joined on our etpub. We set them own level on server, called [DooC] clan Member

I can't see the donations section, where is it? And how does one donate? Can it be done via paypal?
Edit:
DOH! Just found it. Shouldn't it be at the bottom of the forum list where the "Birthdays and Donations" group is?
Edit:
OMG What an idiot can i remove this post? sorry all i've found everything quite clearly LMAO.
Perhaps that full frontal labotomy wouldn't be a bad idea?!?!!
I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me
than a full frontal labotomy!

I'm only plucking pheasants,

Here is hoping everyone had a spectacular Christmas and New Year, and that 2012 will be a great one for all in real life and ET. Congratulations to all those who have made major contributions to keeping ETF alive with special thanks to Kwiz, Smirre and Grub for planting the seeds of success
Our community is growing and there are so many to thank as each and everyone of you has given so much to the community in your own little way whether it is from building the site and server, introducing new friends, donating money, making time spent on the forum and server fun and welcoming or just taking the time to say hello, every little gesture counts in making one big happy family and I am so looking forward to so much more fun and frolics in 2012.
