I know I'm a bit late on this so sorry D:

As some of you may have seen we (this wiki) have recently hit 200 pages. yay!

Thanks to all the editors, viewers, translators, admins who make this wiki such a great place.

Please consider the above preface to this post as I will go into I guess a story? from me and a speech from Rag.

MPA: yay 200 pages. I'll say it again: thank you everyone who made this possible. I still remember when some time last year Ethrundr asked me on the SAO wiki if I wanted to help him with his new one (this one). At the time, I had just started watching the first season and I think the anime was like up to episode 5 or something?

Well anyway, the wiki had been made by someone but then kind of just left to sit there, empty and sad (IKR, not a just fate for such a great series like LL!). So Ethrundr and myself got to work, just 2 guys writing and editing pages for this wiki. Occassionally other editors would stop by for a brief period of time, but mosted them just faded away again. So we were quite lonely for a while longer. Still, just two guys who enjoyed Love Live! and wanted to help any other potetial fans (wow that sounds creepy).

Somewhere along the way I got admin, but that's not really important because we got some new dedicated editors in Wynn22 and Insanemaster (again, we knew IM from the SAO wiki). This was a great feeling for us, because at the time, we didn't have anyone else who was really that dedicated. Next came Rag (hopefully I remembered this all in the right order) who I am willing to say to this day, has probably been the best thing to happen to this wiki since Eth took it over.

Since then so much has happened, LL! got a second season, more singles and albums, a mobile game and this wiki has kept growing with it. Although Ethrundr and myself aren't around that much anymore to oversee what's going on everyday, I think I can speak for both of us when I say from that day when we started working on this wiki, that it would grow to where it is today, and for that, I am truly grateful to everyone who has stopped by and I hope to see you all here in the future!

So I guess I'll end this off with some notes to my fellow admins.

To Eth: Thank you for making this all possible and inviting me to this wiki that day. Thank you for all the hard work you put in to really help the wiki grow and although I know you are really busy if you manage to read this and feel like writing a speech just stick it in afterwards ;)

To Rag: Thanks for being so dedicated to this wiki, I probably couldn't have asked for a better editor than you. I also have to say sorry to randomly disappearing so often, it really isn't my intent :(. Thanks for putting up for me all this time and let's try make this wiki as good as we can!

Rag:

"I'm not good with speeches so don't expect much. :P

First of all, congratulations to Love Live! Wiki for reaching 200 pages.

I have no idea what to say but let me just thank all those editors, contributors, translators, visitors, friends, rule breakers, trolls, and all the people who've contributed and made this possible.

It's been more than a year since I've joined this wiki and I'm glad I did. I met lots of awesome people (Ethrundr, MPA, Insanemaster, Wynn22, Tanjy3, KotoriMinami, AtomicHope, Coleena and basically all who contribute meaningful things to this wiki especially the translators!).

Although I did encounter some problems with users, and some just recently, I'm still thanking everyone who joined and visited this wiki! Thank you!

And to all of you who don't like me, well, it's okay. This wiki is not about me anyway. :P I understand people are busy, but I hope you all can still contribute to this wiki even once in a while. :D

I guess that concludes my thanks to all users who have made this event possible. And I will also be thanking all people who're going to help this wiki reach even more pages in the future now too. :)

Thank you all! Banzai!╭*(๑˘ᴗ˘๑)*╮

ethrundr:

Although bit late, I might add mine as well:

First time I manage to find this wikia is when I'd like to search about the story's sinopsis (yeah, I'm the type that always look for some minor spoiler before actually watching them). So when I manage to find this wikia on google and actually accessing this, I found that the wikia was at very terrible state: single page of Honoka, crappy main page, and such. Since that time I still active managing multiple (at that time, around 3 or so) wikias, so I decided to take this one over as well.

So, at 14 February 2013, the project of ressurecting this wikia is started. For around few days, it was like I alone doing all the pages. That time, SAO Wiki still has its chat at peak time, so many people joining and chatting around. So I think I'll just try inviting any editors there to come over here. Maybe just lucky, maybe fate, two of them coming over: Insanemaster and MPA. I was really grateful for their time helping me develop this wikia. Without them (and Wynn22, Rag, and other editors that come after), this wikia would not be this big.

At the first time I picked up this wikia, I never dreamed it will be this big. I actually thinks that this wiki will go dying out after the anime ends, like what happened in most anime-related wikia. However, it is not! I cannot describe how I feel seeing the wikia has grow this much at the time I dropping by. Unfortunately, my schedules prevent me from managing this wikia as I used to. How I really hope I can get back here once again like before.

Lastly, congratulation on reaching 200 pages, and sorry for my bad english. It's not my native after all :) Also, I'd like to say my thanks to all of editors here, to Rag and MPA that help me manage the wikia so far, to Wyn22 and IM, that helped me alot to bring more and more content to this wikia and of course to XD1, who has been kind enough to design the Wordmark, Icon and our very first background.
