As we come to the end of another year it is again time for me to offer my thanks to the many people who have contributed to this site and/or provided its raison d’être .
Firstly, my thanks to the members of the Fifteensquared team who continue to spend time and effort preparing the great many posts (~1340) that have been published during the last twelve months. I am sure that your input to the site has been much appreciated by many people.
Next I would like to say thanks to all who have posted comments on the site. Usually these make interesting reading and they also provide valuable feedback for the various setters who visit the site. Please keep up the good work. If you haven’t yet posted a comment, how about a New Year’s resolution to do so?
Finally, having mentioned the setters, I would like to thank them, and their editors, for the many hours of enjoyment, and sometimes frustration, that their puzzles have given us during the year. Let’s hope that the start of the second century of crosswords is as good as the end of the first one.
All the best for 2014 to all bloggers, commenters, lurkers, setters and solvers wherever you may be.

Of course this was bound to happen: everyone will say that without your unstinting support we would flounder. The only thing is, it’s true. Many thanks for all you continue to do to make this thing a success.
Thanks all who care to visit, makes it worth while blogging. Especially if you comment, don’t be shy. And to Geoff maybe I’ll be able to buy you a scotch some day and thanks.
Yes, thanks Geoff, once more, and greetings to all who frequent this place – in whatever role.
I’d like to be alongside flashling with a gratitude laden libation for you. Currently it would be Abelour.

Many thanks, Geoff, for your admirable admin and support, in what has not been the easiest of years. Happy 2014 to you and all fellow bloggers, setters and lurkers.
Thanks from me too. Two or three major shocks this year; but you have held us together.
Best wishes.

Many thanks from me, too, to Geoff – and to all who make this site such a great place to be.
Many thanks, Geoff. Kudos to your hard work – tireless effort.
Thanks indeed Gaufrid for keeping us in order, and to all the setters and bloggers.
Happy New Year, Geoff. Thanks for keeping the site up and running.
As a blogger with the ‘opposition’, may I add my thanks to all who add value (ugh! sorry about that – it comes of working in PR) to my daily solve of the Guardian puzzle, especially the bloggers, who set the bar very high for those who have to compete with them!
Many thanks, and Happy New Year.
Thanks, Gaufrid. A great site.
Thanks in particular to Gaufrid and the bloggers. Happy New Year to all.
Many thanks Geoff and thanks to the indefatigable blogging team! Happy New Year to everyone.
Happy New Year and many thanks to Geoff, the bloggers and posters of what is a superb site.
Many thanks to all who make this site so interesting and useful. Especially to Gaufrid, of course (from one Geoff to another). Best wishes to everyone for 2014.
Thanks to Gaufrid, and to all contributors here who enrich the setting experience for us setters!
Happy New Year all
We would like to add our names to the list above.
Many thanks Geoff for all your support and best wishes for a very Happy New Year to you and everyone who visits the site for whatever reason, be they setters, bloggers, commenters or lurkers!

All of the above. I’ve enjoyed contributing to and reading 225 this year.
And a ‘me too’ from a 99% lurker, rarely venturing beyond the bushes. It’s a great source of info and fun.
All the best to you and yours.
Thanks, I’ve enjoyed coming along.
Happy new year to Gaufrid, etal.
Cheers…
Happy New Year and Thank You!
Many thanks and Happy New Year to Gaufrid, all posters and contributors.
Thanks to Gaufrid on many fronts, not least for giving setters (well, this setter at least) a very useful and helpful feedback path … which can only be for the benefit of all … to whom a healthy, happy and prosperous 2014.
Thanks to all, especially Gaufrid, and Happy New Year. Long may this splendid site continue.
Many thanks to all the bloggers who give up their precious time to parse the puzzles, but especial thanks to you Gaufrid for providing the framework and ethos without which we would be bereft.
I discovered 15×15 by chance and have enjoyed it greatly ever since, learning a lot about solving. Thank you all.
Same here Ruth. Cheers all.
Thanks to all – all bloggers but particularly Gaufrid – for your hard work during 2014.
Best wishes to y’all for the forthcoming year.
Oops s/b 2013 – or else I’m early with the next one.
