A wonderfully kind contest.

I think our newly appointed Lingu is probably getting a bit tired of his royal seat, and besides, power is quite exhausting. So, I would give him the opportunity to rest this year... as for the new candidate, I simply don't see anyone worthy at the moment. But that doesn't mean the tradition is dying. Times are changing, and so are customs, and who knows what awaits this position in the future. I remember Alucard saying a couple of years ago in his New Year's speech about a subsequent decline, but we all witnessed that his speech was short-sighted. (But then again, thank him for the kind words). As for the current time, even though there is a visible trend of decline at the moment, I still predict that the people, who can be called veterans, will not disappear completely from our forum. In addition, with the release of the 6th installment of the thematic game, we expect an influx of new users, and I associate this time with the further modernization of the portal. I am still eagerly awaiting the update of the intended website design and its implementation on a productive basis. As for the influx of fresh minds, most of them, which sounds somewhat intimidating, should be schoolchildren... and of course, some of them will stay. Are we talking about a second shift of the "flooding" team? I don't know yet, it's hard to say. Assimilation is also possible. But in any case, this update is a necessary and natural path in the life of the portal. My vote is Against all.
