My friends and fellow people. On December 27th, 2021, we embarked on an incredible journey to restore what we all lost when Nintendo shut down Miiverse on November 7th, 2017. Miiverse has always been a staple in our hearts and has been an endearing memory of our childhood. In the years since, Miiverse clones have come and gone, and our community never found a proper home. Whether clones were subjugated to the plight of child exploitation or left barren by totalitarian moderators: we never truly found a happy home for our quest to replace Miiverse. But that all changed when we began Universe just a few short years ago. We embarked on an incredible journey together to bring a safe, fun, and child-friendly experience to Nintendo Switch, Wii U, and 3DS users alike. Things went so great. Over 208 accounts have been created, over a hundred posts made, and for a time, an active community existed discussing the latest games and lifestyle trends. But that all changed since 2023, and it just became less and less active as the months went by. That is why I previously announced Universe would be discontinued. I hope you all were able to get your final posts and comments in. I will tell you it has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as the President of this social media for over three years. I am so proud of the great things we have all accomplished as a community. It has always been my life goal to give back to those who gave me so much. The Nintendo Wii U community gave me the greatest moments of my childhood. In return for the great friendships I made while playing on Wii U, I decided to give back to the community. First, through a very successful Minecraft Wii U Edition server called Plushie Network which I hosted from 2017 to 2022. Second, through Universe. Many people in the Wii U community used to tell me that I cared for the Wii U more than Nintendo itself. I am truly humbled by the support I have received from my former friends in the Wii U community. Though it is sad to see this remarkable portion of my life pass by, I know the lessons I learned in leadership, servitude, and community-building will always stay with me wherever I go. I want to thank everyone who has been a part of all of my journeys in life, especially this one. I will never stop giving back to those who gave to me. So, I leave with this. This will not be the last time I give to you. I have set my sights on a greater purpose and a more meaningful impact: to restore the world to a better promise and a brighter tomorrow. I have seen failed leaders in our world take politics and use it for ill-begotten gains and to divide nations so that they can be conquered. The results of the 2024 Presidential election show a promising result, however. I believe the return of Donald Trump to the Presidency will stop World War III and the corruption rotting the United States. However, I know in my heart that in time, the powers of evil that exist in this world will once again win the hearts and minds of the global community. It is now imperative, in this time of peace, that I embark on a quest to take in all the knowledge along my path and prepare for the future. I can promise you that in the days when mankind repeats the same mistakes of the past, someone will be there to fix it. Every generation needs a leader, and every generation needs a fighter. I will never stop giving back to those who gave to me, it is my sacred duty and obligation to return what I have received. We will one day restore faith, freedom, and morality in this world. We will reign with peace through strength and an unwavering commitment to independence and freedom. We will prosper as a global community under the sacred trust that we will share in God. We will live a new destiny and vision towards a new age and a new era of peace, prosperity, and unity. Thank you all for helping me build experience in this life. I will forever be grateful for your participation in this service.
The best is yet to come.
Christien Chapman, President of Universe
