Brian - For paying the bills

Pierre - For fixing any code problems

Mods - For all the things said in the innumerable 'praise the mods' threads

I just got to show my appreciation for everyone who puts up with my bad attempts at humor, my worse attempts at arm-chair politics, and my rare forum appearances.

While I've been here (I think it's almost been a year now) there have been certain posters that have just seemed to be part of the forums. People like Krylo have, for me, become an institution in this forum, and without them things wouldn't seem right. I would like to give props to you all, but its hard to gather your names, and since I don't type on here too much I wouldn't say we know eachother that well. Still, you make this forum what it is and give it the personality it has.

Maybe later I'll go through and try to list everyone who has been totally awesome over the year, but for now I'll just let it be understood that just about everyone here rocks.

-------edit-------------

Alright, now that I've remembered, there are two people who I need to say thanks to, and I have no idea who those people are.

First, thank you guy who gave me a positive user rating that came with the message "Your hilarious email me." Thing was, s/he forgot to put in his/her screen name with his/her comment, so I had no idea who wanted me to email him/her. Oh well, it was a nice ego boost, so thank you strange person.

Second, thank you guy who quoted me in his sig. I felt proud, as if someone actually cared, when I saw that something I had posted had been honored by some other guy. I think he removed the quote after a few days, though. Still, it was nice.

There. Plus, thanks to all the people I've chatted with (well, most the people I've chatted with plus a few exceptions) for all the combined excellence of this fine forum.

The Kneumatic Pnight · 01-14-2005, 04:46 PM

Been a while since I've been able to look around the forums thoroughly rather than just having the thing open in my background and this is kind of a nice thread to notice. I'd like to say that I appreciate each and every one of you... the forum wouldn't be quite the same without you all. (This, of course, excludes a small number of people who are better off living under bridges if you catch my drift.)

So... in alphabetical order in as much as the rules of the alphabet pretain to me:

Krylo: We may disagree sometimes in discusson... but you've always been enlightening. You're an institution here and I thank you for all the moddy work you've done.

Aeria: You were one of the first people I ever had a sort of "forum conversation" with. Though I haven't had much contact with you recently, you were one of the reasons I've decided to stay.

Shiny: What can I say that hasn't already been said? Truly great...

Crodevillian Team: For posting my oppinions before I can do so myself... and much more eloquently too... you can get away with being the sort of jackass that I can only wish I could be... and you do it with such flair. [I am not of course, insulting you and am making this note in fear of your moddish power (and the fact that you could probably literally crush me with your ego), which I assume will make you feel all the more happy and appreciated for what you want to be.] Either way... this place just wouldn't be the same without you.

The Mirror Emperor, Cloud Strife, and that whole group: Your weird coallition is a defining presence in these forums as far as I've seen... and it almost feels weird to not be as known or as closely knit as you guys. But as a group (ie. pretty much everyone you mentioned in your posts) you exemplify these forums.

Osterbaum: After coming here I realized that every forum needs a self appointed superhero... too bad this is the only one that does.

Funka Genoside: Overall nice guy and good guy to talk to...

SAAM: What can I say... he's slightly above average... and then some.

And anyone whom I've forgotten: Don't worry, It's just my horrible, horrible memory. You don't deserve to be forgotten because each and every one of you make these forums an excellent place to whittle away one's free time. I can only hope to be thought of so fondly as I think of you. Hell... as a combined forum, you've actually convinced me that there might be some hope for the human race.

And, in the interest of appreciation, I'd like to appologize for all the cynical, creepy, whacked out, and generally annoying jackassery that I've been party to on these forums and I hope they've served only to better the humor of the place, rather than ruin it.

Anyway, thank you all and I'll be back with more if I feel the need, but for one more thing.

Cheshire Thief [etcetera, etcetera]: Wherever you are, and whenever you'll be back... I'm sure most here appreciate you for the humor you brought here while you were around. May you feel our combined, mystical appreciation waves and may your absence be swift... (unless of course one of my lapses in observation, which can be absolutely biblical in proportion, have left me looking like an idiot for this for reasons that will be obvious)

01-14-2005, 05:28 PM

To ALL of you: What are you doing, and why the hell are you in my house?

Thats really all I could think to say as most of the people I would think to appreciate, already know this, or are no longer on teh fraoms.

Mike McC · 01-14-2005, 06:26 PM

I've said it before and I'll say it again.... this is just a flat-out awesome community. Everyone here acts with intellegence, freindliness, and just enough humor to make a very enjoyable and charming corner of the internet. While I do tend to fade in and out of active posting, I still think you are all beyond teh awesome.

MasterOfMagic · 01-14-2005, 08:18 PM

Well, okay. I can do this. I think. Here goes nothin' (In no particular order):

Madhatter: Gosh, I love your art. Really, seriously. Also, you're one of my favourite persons to chat with, even if you're evil, and corrupting my poor mind...
I'll try to get out from under the rock, but I make no promises (you know what I'm talkin about, don't pretend you don't!!)

BlackMageGirl!: Miss popularity herself! And the Gatekeeper of Time, I might add. She... actually... thinks I'm funny for some reason. *shrug* Dunno. Maybe If you beg her she'll explain herself. Or she might go back in time and stop me from typing this.... you just never know... *looks around nervously* Oh, and I'll force you to face the truth someday! It was your fault! (She'll understand, you'll misinterpret. *shrugs* can't be helped)

Cloud Strife: Makes me want to bite my ear off. Just...can't...reach.... But seriously, he's yet another of my chat buddies. And he mocks me with his cableness, and T3-ness. Well, I've got DSL now! And yet...he still mocks me... *sniff*

Cheshire Thief: Duh. You can fill this in. So I won't. 'Cause I'm feelin' lazy. So there.

Osterbaum: With his plans for domination, and attempts to take over my mind, what's not to love? He's evil too, you know...

And lots and lots and lots of random others. If they talked to me more, maybe I could think of ways to describe how!

Loneyes · 01-14-2005, 09:27 PM

Well, although no one knows me here, I vastly appreciate you all.

Thanks to you guys, I now have something to do those boring nights when I should be doing homework.

I've yet to find a better way to waste time online then reading these forums.

SanbaiShi · 01-15-2005, 01:09 AM

Appreciations.....? *thinks for a minute* Oh THAT stuff! Where you talk about people you...like and stuff...being...nice....*shudder* Well, since I'm incapable of such a nice and un-dastardly deed, I shall list the people I love to torture!

BlackMageGirl! - the one who introduced me to the boards! My only reply is...MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! From me you shall NEVER escape!

Ryuuma2 - for sending me those wacked-up pm's in the middle of the night! and then MOVING TO MY TOWN!!!! You shall FEEL the infinite pain of my mind-shattering evil! AND YOU CAME WILLINGLY! Again, MWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

Cloud Strife - haven't talked to much to you but you always give me the desired reaction to my evilness. Much appreciated!

********** - ha! I'm so evil that I....forgot your screenname! To this person I thank for a nice time romping in flaming fields of doom and destruction! Pm me and tell me your name again...I DEMAND IT! Thrice, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

And that's all I'm going to deign tonight.

synkr0nized · 01-15-2005, 02:15 AM

HOLY POOP, Batman. I need to catch up.

Funka -- You're definitely in the right direction for me to praise you if you understand how superior Asuka is to everyone else. Good work!

Mirror -- How have you been? Holding up well, I suppose. I always appreciate the PMs and such; it helps make me feel more integrated into this community.

Osterbaum -- "Sanity" and some modicum of rationality seem to be traits of mine online. It got me a nickname on another forum. Anyway, this place would probably have a significant drop in entertainment value if you left. Don't.

There are other people that I'd mention, such as CelesJessa, QQ, shiney, Rai, Krylo, Brave Fencer (:P), Master O' Magic, Dragonsbane, Chicago, BMG!, Thaumaturge, and so forth who all make this forum enjoyable and attractive when I have free time, but I know I'll forget people. I blame the Combine. Or Yuktobania.

Anyway, .....OMG luv2u!!!

Flarecobra · 01-15-2005, 02:32 AM

Ok, time for something from me.

As those of you who know me already know, You've all helped me in some ways that you don't even know. An example is during Boot camp, I just remembered that not only are my friends and family supporting me, but you all as well. I couldn't quit knowing that there are people all around the world behind me and if I gave up on something like this, how would you all react? Granted a good number of us might never meet in RL, but that just makes me push it harder. Basically what I'm saying is, without you all, I most likely wouldn't have made it to where I am today. For that, I have to say thanks.
