The whole reason why this award was created was for members like you. It can be hard to balance roleplay, socializing and contribute to our forum with constructive criticism, but somehow you manage it all well. Even without a staffer position, you are consistent with your contributions towards bettering the site and even though many are turned down, you keep up the effort. We can do nothing but congratulate you, Chris, and thank-you for being a wonderful asset in our community! Keep it up!

Newbie of the Month has been awarded to Drake! Ever since his arrival, Drake has been wonderfully helpful towards the site. Not only has he been responsible for the large influx of members we've recently received, but he's now responsible for handling the forum's Public Relations as US' very first PR. We hope you continue with your top notch work, Apu.

Character of the Month goes to Eleytheria - Uchiha, Persephone or just Persy for short. The Raikage has been an essential piece to Kumogakure's activity boost and with her character managing to somehow involve herself in all the topics within the village, there's no better person to award this to.

Topic of the Month goes to the Spring Festival! With the large boost in activity for Kumogakure, the Raikage has been kind enough to bring all of her loyal ninja together in order for the teams to come into fruition. This topic not only showcases the wonderful activity within Kumogakure but also the unique and amazing roleplaying talent each member possesses. Job well done to all who participated!

Staffer of the Month goes to Enzo... again! Thanks to the Russian, we've been able to update the Encyclopedia, the Genjutsu Guide and he's continuing work by updating the Clans as well. Uros has been a huge asset to the US Staff Team and we hope he continues his excellent moderating that he performs as a daily routine.
