Hello everyone,
I would like to express my my deepest gratitude to everyone who has stuck with us this whole year. I know there have been lots of ups and downs and in betweens but all in all I am so happy that I can go online and find a like minded group of people to talk about Taylor Swift or anything else. Thank you for not reading the last page and staying. Here's to this year and many, many more after that!
Much Love and Gratitude
Staff.
(P.S. Everyone feel free to post some of your favourite moments on here for the past year, if you like).

I would like to congratulate New Taylor Connect on the 1 year anniversary.  I would like to thank all of you who work for this lovely forum at the same time. It's always a pleasure to be online here because there is always a good mood. At the same time, it is impressive that in 1 year more posts have been written in all other forums I'm using, even though they are significantly older than this. |

It was one year ago that Taylor Nation changed the banner on Taylor Connect. In a few short hours Sydney and myself discussed making a new place to go. She wanted to make a site and I recommended Proboards and offered to help in any way I could. Later that night the website went live. It was an exact replica and carbon copy of TC (because we had to start somewhere ya know?), and as the days progressed each section got a revamp to be better than what we had. We may not have the numbers and the sheer amount of activity that TC had in it's prime, but we do have the potential to get there and beyond. Yes there were some rough spots along the way, but we're still here and still going forward.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NTC!  Wow, what do I say? XD Cringiness, that's what. XD I was the forty second member to join, and I was reluctant to. I barely knew anyone when I joined Taylor Connect a few years ago, so I was scared that I wouldn't know anyone here either. But I joined anyway, and it's one of the best things I've ever done. I used to be so nervous about everything, but now Sparkly has become my name, and it's still crazy to me that people know I exist. XD I've met the best people here, you guys are such quirky, fun, positive, understanding, lively, honest, open, bright and funny people that I'm starting to have hope in humanity. XD NTC is like my happy place. You guys are all so amazing, I feel like I can post whatever I want to without hesitating, and you always find a way to make me feel better, and even smile and laugh. There have been sooo many moments and memories I've had this past year on this forum that have made me feel so fearless. I've learned to trust and to love more because of this forum, instead of holding back and shying away. In real life I barely know any Swifties, so it's really cool to me that everyone here is a Swiftie, like that's crazy! And it's even more amazing when I find things I share in common with other Swifties, it's such an awesome feeling to not be alone. In a way, I'm really glad that Taylor Connect shut down so that this would open... I feel like TC was such an overwhelming place that this forum was a chance to start over and for me to actually have a voice. XD So thank you sooo much to Sydney and Mew for NTC, I don't know what I'd do if I wasn't here. Yay! XD |

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a year. I mean when you really think about it... a whole entire year since I clicked the sign up button on here? That’s crazy! A year ago today, I didn’t know anything about TC closing. I was going on there like once a month and honestly that was so good for me and I kind of miss it but I kind of don’t XD a week after this place was created, I checked my email and had a message about message lol, on TC from Sydney I think, and it showed a bit of the message and it said like how she and Mew would like me to join their forum and I thought why on earth are they doing that? I was curious but decided not to log in until later. It’s weird, um... the only reason I logged in before TC closed was because I knew Sydney was starting a songwriting contest on November 30th I think it was. If not for that, I would have lost contact with everyone and that’s just a huge nightmare I don’t want to think about XD I mean really... what if we didn’t have this place? We wouldn’t have each other anymore. Maybe we could have gotten each other’s emails and talked a little, but we would have basically lost each other. That’s an awful thought. I’m so grateful that Sydney and Mew created this place, really guys, thank you. Um... when I logged on TC that day, November 27th, I guess... I saw the banner at the top of the page and I smiled. I was really excited, I thought it was good news. I thought it was something about a reputation theme, something happy. But as I read it I just couldn’t believe it. It was just this surreal thing, like really? Who would have thought... I still can’t believe it. Cold hearted... it’s really conflicting though... because I absolutely love this place. If TC hadn’t of closed down, I wouldn’t have some of my best friends now. I wouldn’t be closer to the ones I already had. I wouldn’t feel very free in the community, TC was wonderful, yet toxic. It feels wrong to say I’m happy that Taylor Connect closed down because I truly feel like I grew up there you know? But... I think I am. This place is just better. I’ve learned so much in this past year... when I first came here, I wasn’t really aware of it then, but looking back I was very um... it had been a long time since I’d been around people online XD so I’ve kind of had to relearn how to talk kind of XD and good for y’all, I never shut up now!  My favorite memories... this whole year has just been crazy. There’s not really any big event that sticks out for me, it’s just the little things like staying up until 4 AM on here. There’s just these little moments in life like right now I’m going to look back and smile. Because that’s one thing I have learned about life, for some reason you never know when the good times are here... you just always look back on them and miss them. I am so so very grateful that I was there at the end of TC. In those last two hours I had the greatest time with my friends on there, there were goodbye threads everywhere, it was a beautiful nightmare... and then the clock struck midnight and it hurt like hell. But we opened another tab (well most people did, figure of speech here  ) and came on here. Things got better and things will keep getting better. The old Taylor Connect can’t come to the phone right now because it’s dead... but that’s okay. Our memories will last forever and we shall treasure the time spent there. Long live New Taylor Connect.

Happy Anniversary, NTC! I think this community's consistent and positive presence is a testament to how strong we are and how well Mew and Sydney have managed this place. I was hesitant about joining here for some time, that's no secret. There is still a part of me that longs to have TC back. I didn't think people would stick around here (not because it wasn't good, I just thought activity would fizzle out after TC's closure), and after such a long absence, I didn't think I would be welcome (I know some times on TC were rough for some of us, and I probably should have learned to let some things go, but I've grown a lot and am much better at keeping the peace these days lmaooo). Thank you TaylorSwiftFan for never forgetting about me. That really touched me. I thought of you guys often, and eventually I realised how much I needed to have yall back in my life  Well done Sydney, Mew and everyone, and thank you for listening to my TED talk xx |

Happy Birthday NTC. (I would've brought a cake but I don't want to press it into my pc, it would be a mess)
I just would like to thank everyone for this great place where everyone can be who everyone is and don't need to fear a bullying attack or something similar for it.
I want to thank every one here no matter if you are an admin and brought us this forum or if you are a normal member of this forum who comes online daily or even just one time a month. Without every single one, this forum wouldn't be the same and maybe would not exist.
Thank you!

Hate to say this, but please take down the fireworks. It’s slowing down the website so much. Already noticed it at work. On my iPad the site is unusable.
