Just bummed that on my cake day I lost the community that got me through a looooot. But hi new peeps! :)

Happy new cake day! 🎂

A lot of the community are here, so you have not really lost it. Just relocated to this rather rustic locale. 🔨🪚

My new aussie zone cake day is only a day after my IRL cake day

Eyy happy belated birthday! My Aussie Zone cake day is about a week and a day before my IRL cake day.

I am upset about the loss of our previous sub and DT, I didn't even get a chance to thank people and say goodbye. However, I'm hoping this will actually turn out better. The people who are really determined to keep the community together are here.

Good point! I guess there’s just a chance some might not have seen the link to try, and even though i saw it before midnight it didn’t let me comment at all. It was already cut off even before the blackout time. So I’m bummed at how poorly planned it was. First world problem I know but the DT has been a haven.

I feel the same way! A few of us found out too late, it went down at 4pm I believe, and I'm a bit peeved that a handful of people were able to take all that away from us. It was our sub dammit! But we will overcome and rebuild, and it'll be better than before I reckon.
