Here's the thread that started it all: http://mabination.com/threads/55-WELCOME-TO-MABINATION!
Some of the other staff might have some events in store for you to celebrate, but I'm stuck with work so I might do something on the weekend.
When we started out the site was fairly small, with only a small group of regulars that migrated from mabiguru (which now lies in ruins). Here's some stats for a 1 month period when the site first started:

Over the course of the year we've grown very rapidly, and have surpassed mabiguru (which started at the end of 08') in less than a year. We're now probably the most active north american (or English in general) mabinogi themed community.
This is what the stats for a month look like these days:

I didn't expect it to grow that much when we started out, my original plan was just to have a proper place for the mabiguru regulars since the owner there pretty much didn't give a damn, until we moved here then he cried and threw NX at you guys to get you back, but enough of that, gotta respect the dead.
Keep this community growing and make it a friendly place for people to procrastinate on when they should be doing their homework :awesome:
