Hi,
Happy New Year from the team at Aussie Finch Forum! 2018 was a massive year for our community, so I'd like to take a few minutes to reflect on some of the big news and milestones.
June: Craig and Derek announced that they were stepping back from their ownership role and passing the ownership torch along to me (Shane). I'd like to take this opportunity to once again thank them for all they have contributed to AFF over the many years they ran the place.
July: The new forum design was rolled out. In addition to the fresh coat of paint, some handy new features were added, such a 'quick reply' feature and the live chat box.
August: The Aussie Finch Forum Facebook page was created. To date; 147 people have liked us, and we're seeing good engagement on our posts—when I remember to post stuff, that is!
We also relaunched the Aussie Finch Forum newsletter in September. It's been quite successful so far, with the days after each issue consistently among the forum's busiest. I guess some readers appreciate a monthly reminder that the forum exists. 
November: I forgot to mention this is last month's newsletter. Aussie Finch Forum turned 10 years old in November. That's an incredible milestone for any online community to reach. Our scrappy little forum has lasted longer than five Australian Prime Ministers and—lets be honest—will probably outlast a sixth quite soon.
