And congratulations to our glorious golden Popura-chan and Sam! Long may you reign! ^_^

Congratulations to HockeySam and Popeychops.

I originally became seraph back in May 2011 which seems like both forever ago and yesterday.

Huh. That is actually a long time.

Leif, your AI guide is what got me going when I became interested in the AI part of Age of Kings so thanks for that.
Besides that, websites like this would not be here for people like me, if not for people like you so, thanks for your years of commitment to this great game. I'm glad you will still be around.

Thanks, everyone. I can't say I ever thought when I first started downloading scenarios from this site 10-11 years ago that I might end up at its helm, or that it might have set me on a path leading into professional game development, for that matter.

Congratulations to Popeychops on the promotion, as well

A congrats to HockeySam and Popeychops is due, like all our good staff I'm sure they will continue they're responsibilities. Also a thank you to Leif for bringing our university up to date and the many other behind the scenes things he's done throughout the years.

Thanks for all your work, Leif. I might not have been here before you were already a seraph, but I very much believe what Dave said when he left, that you might just have been the best seraph this site had so far.

And thanks to Sam and Popey, too, for taking over the responsibilities!

Leif has been AoKH's longest ever Seraph. He's such big boots to fill that we needed two of us.

Congrats Sam & Popey. Always knew you two would make it high up.
Leif Thanks for everything you've done here for AOKH! You became serif not long after I started here and the massive improvement to the site and community has been all down to you and your dedication. I'm very glad you are sticking around on staff!
