Dear members, As part of our annual tradition, the staff team has once again compiled a picture card and video message to wish you all a happy holiday season and all the best for the upcoming new year! Like previous years, 2014 has continued EC's expansion across the world, bringing in a whole new influx of community members who have reached out for support, offered their own support to others, and who have enriched the supportive values that EC strives to maintain. Whether you're an old-school member or a new arrival, the staff team have enjoyed each and every minute of getting to know you all. We hope that the new year brings you all the happiness that you deserve, and we will continue to be here to support you in any way that we can. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New year! As is tradition, here's the 2014 Christmas Staff Message video: [youtube]EeJ9n6F5qJQ[/youtube] Here's to 2015! From EC Staff.

I wonder how many other people understood Martin's accent, since he said most outside Merseyside wouldn't, I'm wondering how many outside of Merseyside do. Also I love these things, happy holidays all!
Martin has a perfectly fine accent. Lex always keeps things exciting. Greatwhale, however, I was deeply offended by. Flaunting his homemade bread to the camera when none of us will be able to taste the finished product. It's just heartless!
Really like this, and Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas back to y'all, too! P.S. Jonathan, ain't nobody can see yo camouflage E. :lol:
Ah man, this is so sweet. I actually feel quite touched. I'd just like to thank you guys for providing such an amazing resource for the LGBT+ community. I've only been here for a few months but in that time I've seen people's lives changed by this forum. I joined because I wanted to support people who are going through what I've been through in the past, and I figured if I could make at least one person feel less alone then that'd be amazing - but you guys are heroes, look how many people you've helped! You all should be so proud of what you've accomplished, and the great work you continue to do. (&&&) Err, side note: I had no idea the staff here were all so beautiful. What's going on? It's a conspiracy!
lol I understood you Martin but Ive spent a boatload of time in the UK... maybe that helps? Anyway fun amazing video thank you so much for making it for us and most of all thank you to all of you for maintaining this incredible forum. Love all of you and thank you again.
Thanks for such a beautiful message and all the long hours y'all put in 2014 in making EC such a welcoming community.
Aha, it's good to know that people haven't struggled with it. Perhaps I overgeneralised the number of people who wouldn't be able to, based on comments I've had about it in the past. Although, I had thought (and tried) to record the video using all the proper words. Then I watched it back and realised I had still somehow managed to swap words like 'my' for 'me', and 'I' for 'A'. :eusa_doh:
You rock, guys... Specially Lex!! :icon_bigg Thank you so much for making EC a safe place for us LGBT folks. What you do is much more than just a job. I never saw such dedication and such loving people on internet. Thank you
