The Canvas Crossing Exhibit is now live! This new panel at the top of the forum's main page will rotate three community drawings of fellow TBTers every 30 minutes.
Also, the original post of this thread has been updated with a few more images.
I've made some changes so that 6x2 collectibles can now appear on the TBT 2010s theme, without causing chaos on the regular theme. Or at least, they should... let me know if you see any issues. (unless you have a micro sized phone screen)
Gather around everyone! Our first bounty of The Bell Tree's birthday weekend is up for grabs!
For today's bounty, every member who purchased a ticket in the Shop and made at least one post (excluding The Basement) on the forum from the start of the year until November 6th was entered. After that, extra entries into the bounty were given for each additional post created! This is a win for the big chatterboxes of TBT for sure!
Without further ado, here are our prize winners for the Chatterbox Bounty...
4 Winners of 500 Bells
Xara
S.J.
Mimi Cheems
Milleram
2 Winners of 1,000 Bells
Rosch
DaCoSim
1 Grand Prize Winner of 2,000 Bells

Congratulations to all of our winners today! You can now purchase a ticket for Saturday's Communist Bounty in the Shop. We'll also be hosting the TBT History Discord Trivia tomorrow at 5PM EST. See you tomorrow for both!
Gather around everyone! Our second bounty of The Bell Tree's birthday weekend is up for grabs!
For today's bounty...
Every member who purchased a ticket in the Shop began with 2,500 entries.
Next, we totalled up how many Bells each member has ever earned through methods such as making threads, creating posts, participating in events, and even earning birthday bells or ABD interest for those old timers. (Bells traded/donated between members were not included in this total)
Finally, each member lost an entry for every 10 Bells of their calculated earning total. For those curious, 11 members were pushed into the negative losing their all entries into the bounty!
Without further ado, here are our prize winners for the Communist Bounty...

Congratulations to all of our winners today! You can now purchase a ticket for Sunday's Loyalty Bounty in the Shop where our most senior members will have the upper hand. See you tomorrow!
The TBT 2010s theme will now change with the seasons and time of day like it did on the old version of the site! This feature started as unfinished on this tribute version of the theme. Feel free to let us know if anything seems glitchy. For example, if the sunset is floating or the wrong seasons/time shows up on an element.
I'll be reaching out to all of you shortly to grab your shipping information + plush choice. Thank you to the 116 of you who grabbed a ticket and I hope you're all enjoying the birthday festivities!
Gather around everyone! Our third and final bounty of The Bell Tree's birthday weekend is up for grabs tonight!
For today's bounty, every member who purchased a ticket in the Shop earned an entry into the bounty for each day that has passed since they signed up to The Bell Tree. This will reward our most senior users with a greater chance of winning, and a free walking stick will even be included with their bell prize! Isn't that nice?

Congratulations to all of our winners today, and from all previous days! Thank you for joining us throughout this week to celebrate TBT's 20th Birthday!
Hi all! Unfortunately one of the raffles didn’t quite work out, so I’ll be drawing a new winner tomorrow evening at 7pm EST.
We were able to recompile our list of entrants despite the small handful of people who already discarded their tickets, so you’ll still be included if you had the ticket in your inventory at any point during the active raffle.
Please be on the lookout for a PM from me so I can get your shipping information + plush choice. Thank you again to the 116 of you who grabbed a ticket and I hope you're all enjoying the birthday festivities!
It also contains more information that will continue to be expanded. For now, we have a paragraph written for each year with the events through 2012.
The public archive of event boards is now live! These events can now be found in the Event Archive subboard. It contains the boards from our last five years of events. We'll continue to make more years available as we work on the archive. Unfortunately, standalone boards used for events from 2005 to 2010 no longer exist on this forum, as explained in the directory thread.
The directory thread now contains links to these public boards. Some Halloween events used The Woods for their threads, so we'll work on a way to share these publicly, either by creating one Woods archive board or a new archive board for each event. The main threads listed for events are currently all located in The Bulletin Board. We'll change this later for some events such as TBT Fair where the bigger thread actually exists inside of its event board.
While this twenty-year event may be ending, work on the archive will continue! That's why I've posted two new threads: Forum Archive Updates and Archive User Feedback, Questions, and Information. If you have information or images that can help make the archive more complete, feel free to post in this new user feedback thread.
Finally, bells earned from the time capsule survey have now been distributed.
We'll clean up the remaining pieces of this mini-event, such as the Canvas Crossing exhibit, later tonight and tomorrow. Our Christmas event, TBT's Season of Giving 2024, will start on December 12th. In the meantime, TBT Neighborly Games is happening now! You'll start to see details added to the event schedule in the forum's sidebar:
You're invited to play in all of our TBT Neighborly Games sessions, so please check them out in the board linked to above!
