Getting the ball rolling, again.

We are coming on two months now and still no Euphoria, pretty upsetting and obviously we hope he makes his return soon because I'm losing hope.

John, Meg? What's the happy haps? We need to get the ball rolling again. The idea that 2013 is around the corner and US still doesn't have a new theme that's been in talks for over a year is a bit embarrassing.

When I complete the rank images, it shouldn't take too long to finish up everything else. The only other thing that'll be a bit time consuming is the sidebar but I had a start on that months ago that I'll continue with. I've been avoiding sitting down and really concentrating on getting the rank images done because my previous attempts have been in my opinion quite embarrassing. I've been trying to find images of characters to represent all of the ranks including midways and it's been pretty difficult to make everything fit just right. I'm thinking that for now, I'll just go with a basic, nice looking pattern as a background with the village symbols/text like NWOTN's and like we've done in the past. That way I can make them relatively quick and start focusing on getting this magnificent bastard of a theme completed. :]

So...

I'm going to post here, since I feel like I can never reach Johnny anymore!

Hey, buddy, hope things are going well for you!

The theme is going really well, and I am absolutely loving the alternating banners. What's going on with this though? I'm looking around and I can't really see anything that still needs to be done that isn't absolutely necessary. I understand the side-bar needs some tweaks, but I doubt it'll take too much time. We are hitting up 2013, and I would love, love, LOVE, to see this up on US.

Is there anything I can help with?

I already replied to that message via pm, the day I received it in fact. I am most certainly not unreachable. D:

Thanks Banana! ^^ I'm glad you're liking it. We're getting close to completion and it'll look even better when all is said and done. :3

Four Years Strong

Four years ago on February 3rd Ultimate Shinobi’s first site was created and almost immediately prospered thanks to a loyal staff team who were committed to making a home for a diverse and welcoming community. To this day our goal is very similar, although the community is as big as ever and enriched with an assortment of personalities who each bring something different to Ultimate Shinobi. After approximately a year the site was reincarnated and moved to a new domain which has since been host to US for the past three years. The site continues to develop and move forward regardless of the obstacles thrown it’s way and I personally would have given up long ago if it wasn’t for the friendships and relationships that have I have formed here.

Because of this I’d like to thank the administrators who over the last handful of years that have made this journey not only easier for me but far more enjoyable, With that said I’d like to thank Todd, Dan, Hugh, Pat, Matthew, Brad, Demetrius, Lauren, John, Becky and my two boys Darius and Uros for helping this site become what it is today. As for the moderators new and old, there’s just been so many of you to name but all of you too have had your own parts in keeping the gears of US going and for that you all deserve thanks.

To commemorate our four year anniversary you will all notice Ultimate Shinobi’s brand spanking new theme and layout that has been slowly worked on over time and has been smashed out in time for this important date. Thanks to Euphoria and Phantom Heart for their assistance on the theme. The big round of applause has to go to John and Setsugekka who managed to get a massive workload done in just over a week to make this day all the more special.

So everybody, have a wonderful Four Year Anniversary Day, have a wonderful 2013 and here’s to another four years. #twoterms

TODD

A little over four years ago, the vision of two lads south of the equator came to fruition. The vision of Ultimate Shinobi. Being formally known as Taiga on Naruto Revolution, an underappreciated Genin’s talents came to light when he took part in cofounding one of the most successful Naruto roleplaying sites to date. Upon the creation of Ultimate Shinobi along we decided to use our Christian names as a way to connect personally with our growing member base and for this reason Taiga became known as Todd. A name with a reputation in our genre started to have some value restored to it as Todd became one of the most respected individuals to leave their mark on this website. Structuring system after system, some of which in an updated state still reside on our forum today.

The September Ultimate Shinobi of the Month 2010 winner and long-time administrator has held many prestigious titles during his tenure on Ultimate Shinobi, including the two above he also took part in the first ever Topic of the Month, led Konohagakure no Sato’s ANBU Black Ops on the first Ultimate Shinobi, sits as the fourth most frequent poster on ever and reigned as Raikage during Kumogakure no Sato’s first appearance on the site in what was arguably it’s most dominant and active period.

His contributions to this site are too many to list but honourable mentions need to be given to such additions to this forum such as the Missions Board, Professions, Nukenin and Ranking systems. Only to mention so few of so many, I fear words cannot do justice for what this man, who started here as a boy has accomplished here. Todd has been a massive influence to my experience here and without him I can only imagine we wouldn’t have gotten to where we are today. Paving the way for all those who have followed, even if they hadn’t had the opportunity to be graced with his presence thus far is enough to warrant this gentleman from New Zealand to be the inaugural inductee into the Ultimate Shinobi: Hall of Fame.

Congratulations Toddems, trust me when I say that you deserve all the recognition and acknowledgement you can get for your achievements both here and elsewhere and I hope you can find your way back home one day as your company is sorely missed.

Love Adam.
