Big thank you to silk, worm, -Sketch, twinnie_star, Jeen, Jade, 4rolas and niks for all of the graphics in this event!

Can you believe it? Connect has officially turned six!
That’s six years of people coming together, connecting, and making memories as a community. Whether from day one or just recently, has helped shape Connect into the vibrant place it is today. 

To celebrate, we’re hosting a cosy, whimsical Animal Crossing–themed birthday bash with charming activities, cute surprises, and that soft, nostalgic atmosphere we all love. These events will begin January 10th and last until February 10th.

We hope you join us to celebrate six wonderful years of Connect by joining our Discord server, and ensuring that you’re signed up to our events and activities notifications by clicking the image below.
