Dong. Dong. Dong. Yeah, I’m not doing that twelve times… This is just your brief midnight post here on TheSixthAxis to say that we love you all and we wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.
2010 has been a busy year for us. We’ve built on our successes and added several key staff members to help us drive on to bigger and better things. We’ve listened to you lot too. You tell us what you like and what you don’t and we really do take that on board. Of course, we can’t please everyone but we think (and our feedback and figures suggest) that we do a better job than most.
I believe that this website is fortunate enough to have some of the most talented, most committed and most hard working staff members in the industry. The steady stream of high quality, well researched and entertaining content is testament to that. We know we’re good at what we do but we also know why.
The writers here are constantly driven on to try harder, do more and be better by the readers. Not just the proactive end of the spectrum either, we get plenty of feedback behind the scenes from the hundreds of thousands of regular readers who don’t put their thoughts beneath our articles.
I’ll be honest though, it does mean a lot to us when you get involved. The guys that comment on a large number of our articles, the names that appear next to the many community events and competitions, the regular forum members. You all give us the reasons we look for to keep on going.
You’re the reason we tweaked the site and added the blog format. You guys wanted a mobile site, we made one (and we’re still tweaking it). You inspired the Meets feature and the numerous layout tweaks. Your comments and your feedback have guided this website’s development since day one and it continues to be a big part of our strategy going forward.
You guide the content too. We’re regularly experimenting with different balances between news, original content and review/preview coverage. We watch traffic figures and add more of what’s popular, we read comments and notice when people aren’t enthusiastic about certain types of article. We listen to our readers and adjust accordingly. Most of the time you should be blissfully unaware of this process but it is literally always happening. We don’t do it because we love you (although you are pretty special), we do it because we know it will make us better at what we do. So thank you.
So what does 2011 have in store for TSA? Well, we’re currently preparing some very exciting upgrades to our community section and we’ll be working hard with our Community Team to make sure the improvements are fully utilised. In 2010 we launched our Nintendo coverage and have, so far, seen a very positive response. In 2011 we’re hoping to do the same thing with PC coverage. All the time our mobile coverage is increasing and we’re hoping that the Android platform will get a bit more love from TSA in the coming months.
Don’t worry though, any new platforms we cover will be in addition to the content you already get here. We won’t drop anything, we’ll just offer more options and we’ll give it the usual TSA flair and verve.
In short, we’re still building, still growing and still listening to you. We’re hoping for a very exciting 2011 and we hope you’re going to come along with us.
Happy New Year.

Hope everyone has had a lovely evening and here’s to a great 2011. My year is off to a great start. I’ve just discovered Koppaberg Pear Cider. My god, it’s pure nectar from the gods.

Hey tsa I’ve been reading you for a very long time now, ever since you were pretty much a trophy site to be honest. But I’ve finally relented and had to say happy new year. I may be a tad drunk but I love you guys (especially nofi and tuffcub) and I hope to keep on reading many more excellent articles far into the new year. 2011 can you believe it, I started gaming in 1987!!!!!

Absolutely love this site, it’s been instrumental in my dabbles online with my playstation and is probably the reason i forked out for an xbox. It’s great to be part of a big community of like minded individuals. Happy new year one and all.

I’ve been reading TSA since they were a tiny site, with nothing other than PlayStation coverage and a FAR smaller readership. I loved this site because of it’s taste of humour, it’s firm feet on the ground…and the fact that it’s English ;)
I’ve signed up since and watched the site grow ( remember when we could buy games with our TSA
points?) and it’s been a thrill the entire time. I recommend you guys to everyone I meet, and this has led t them also signing up and loving you just as much.
In simple terms, n other gaming community is as cannot free, as friendly, and as honest, as TheSixthAxis. Here’s to another year of fantastic articles and coverage; long live TSA!

Absolute best wishes to all involved with TSA and I hope you had a super New Years Eve party. It was my birthday yesterday but I’ve been in bed with influenza for two days so I never even saw the New Year. Yay.
I hope 2011 raises TSA to the even greater heights that this excellent little (I guess it’s not that little anymore) site deserves.
Once again, best wishes to staff, members and all involved who make this site what it is. Thankyou TSA.
