The Town Bulletin
Vol 4, Issue 1
Happy Christmas one and all and welcome to november's monthly town bulletin ^^
So whilst we all rush up to christmas, buying our presents and spending time with our family, the sapling comes to the end of 2016! The Sapling is 2 years old now (since august 2014)! It's been a bit of a quiet month with not much changes but nevertheless, we have seen quite a few new members, 7 in fact and a surge of activity which is great! It has been a bumpy month of bugs/down time due to proboard server issues but were fixed after not too long, thank you for your continued patience when this happened!

November's New Features & Updates
New Facebook Page
So for those of you who don't know, we now have our very own facebook page (button is at the top in the bulletin!). We will be using this to post updates about the forum, news and features about the animal crossing series and help our members connect better with each other and the forum.
Shine Sprite Scavenger Hunt
This month we've seen the sapling's first ever forum event (not in game)! You might of noticed alot of warp pipes hidden around the forum, these lead to hidden Shine Sprites. Find them all and you can win sapling bells! A big congratulations to SinnertheCat for winning the grand prize which was an animal crossing amiibo pack! You can still win 500,000 Sapling Bells until the 17th December so get looking! Here's a link to the event page.
Upcoming features
Winter Forum Skin
Tomorrow marks the start of a new month in the world of animal crossing and winter is fast approaching. It's that time again for the sapling to shed it's autumn coat and gain a new theme (and personally one of my favourites), the winter theme! This concludes a full cycle of the seasons on proboards!
Community Spotlight
This month, the Admin and Mods would like to give the Community Spotlight to Funny AC Memes!! A hilarious thread full of funny animal crossing jokes and memes. If you're looking for a laugh be sure to have a look at some of the pictures.
