In alphabetical order:
ahoteinrun - Sandra, I love you. I could stretch my arms out wide and I'm not sure if that would say how much I love you. I love you enough to have wanted to go to Canada for university if only to see you one day. I'd stuff you into a box without mercy if I could because I do love you. You are wonderful. I've spoken to only two people online in my life that I have thought - here is a true survivor. You are one of them. You are strong and you're not a fool, yet you are still compassionate and kind. I liked your art, but I never loved it like I love you, which is a million times more. You promised me a piece of art once, so I want you to do a really fantastic piece when I'm dead and dedicate it to people around the world in general.
Charisma - You were the first person to look after me online. It was so nice just to have someone to talk to and show me the ropes. I tried so hard to be like that and be endlessly patient to help new members the way you were for me. You didn't reject me in any way, ever. It meant a lot to me not to be rejected the first time I spoke to someone new, even though it was an application to be a squire. Foolery that was, but it was fun. You were still supportive of me all the time, everytime, always, through the hardest moments and my biggest amounts of guilt. I know you know what I'm talking about, Charis-Ma. *hugs tight*
ChromeFox - Now I think about it, you were probably the first person I recognised on the forums in December of '02. You're clever, witty, cheerful, confident, funny, a good moderator besides and you called me a friend, to which I will always answer to if you want. I wanted to top your position as PPT Top Poster once but that went away a long, long time ago. Thank you for being so great; thank you for being Chromey.
CSK - Sheep botherer. I'm not going to be sappy cause I don't know if you like sap or not. Better safe than sorry. Thank you for listening to me when I was all woe-be-gone-woe-is-me on you, for making that lovely webpage with Charisma and for being yourself. Remember to be nice, boy. Thanks for taking the time for me. Oh, and pet your sister for me. I always wanted to. Practice your haka dance, okay? I need entertainment when I am in the afterlife.
Cyanna - Cyanna, in all sincerity I think you ought to be PPT's Nicest, Kindest, Most Helpful Member. If I won a PPTBie for Most Helpful, it was because I modelled my behaviour after the nice people and tried to be nice as well. I always admired you for your complete and utter kindness and the way you could be so calm and collected about any situation. You were always on top of my list to be "as nice as". So if people ever want to thank me for being nice, it's because you were nice. You're such a lovely person! I'd miss you.
Fiddelysquat - I admit I still remember the first time you PMed me because I had accidentally hurt you over something. I tried really hard to be better afterwards and definitely not to hurt anyone. I admired you so much, I felt dreadful. Your character is the type that really knows herself and what she will or will not accept. Me, I was wishy-washy, drifting one way and another, so I wanted to find the kind of person I wanted to be. I wanted to be sure of who I was the way you were. I hope I've got somewhere. In the past I've told you at random times that you're a great person. I mean every word of every compliment I have ever given you because to me, they were never compliments but facts. You are pretty, witty, talented and a wonderful role model for many people. Anyone who thinks otherwise has never taken the time to appreciate all you've done for other people and for the forums. Thank you Fidds.
iconoplast - I loved all the late-night talks for you, noontime for me. Rarely do I find someone like you. I'm not sure exactly what quality it is you have or what word I need to describe you, but you are the type of "lovely-wonderful" I can't find the word to. I appreciate your ability to see both sides of a situation, your open-mindedness and many other things. I cannot think of a bad point you have, like I cannot think of bad points for many people. What flaws you may have are simply just that - flaws that make your good parts even more beautiful. Always supportive, always there - you deserve much better and if I can, I'll send a cure for your troubles in the package of a special hug from wherever I go. You would be a wonderful mother. Remind your husband from me it's seventy-nine children, not one less. Eighty is preferable.
Jim - I hope overall I've been a good girl. There were times I was completely stupid and doggedly stubborn, but I hope I've been mostly good. May I have more head pats? I liked the pettage. I hope I turned out okay and didn't ever make you regret picking me for a moderator, cause I did my best most of the time in my job.
Pudding - I deny that you are ever coming back because I cannot believe that you would just leave without telling anybody at all. I swear you are more responsible than that and you would at least inform those who needed to know. I like you bunches, Pudding, so come back. You know who you are and I admire so much about you, including your self-motivation and self-discipline. If you don't believe in the supernatural, you better do soon or I will come knocking at your door as a ghost. Come back soon to PPT, Pudding. I care enough about you to want you to return. You know how much I care.
Sapphire Faerie - My big sister, mais oui? I didn't forget you and I never planned to. At most I would temporarily misplace you in my mind and you'd come drifting back. Thank you for being there and looking after me, for hilarious stories and discussions about completely random things, for being supportive, for knowing me best, for really knowing more than most people, even offline, seem to know me. I'm not sure how you do it, my dear, but it's quite safe to say that you are one of those people who knows me through and through. Oh Chassity Chass, you're not allowed to forget me! And get that kitten farm sometime. And tell me how Lillie is, I'll hear. I'll miss you so much.
To everyone else, you know I would have thanked you individually if I could have. I wrote a message to everyone I could find a long time ago when I hit my 10,000th post. If I didn't have a few hundred people there, I don't know how anyone else could have gone through every single person and picked out every single face.
I'm really not as good as some people make me out to be. I'm really not nice at times, but I tried to be as nice as possible here with all my heart. Please remember I always loved you all.
(Ah I was tearing up at some points. If I could though, I would abuse my moderating powers for once, make an announcement in the RP board and thank everyone there, especially White_Wolf for being a fantastic friend as well as a moderator, the whole KS crew, Kuroro, Apricus and Glass Miracle for being especially the RPers I talk to most and everyone else who made the RP board a great place to moderate.
There are so many other people I wanted to speak to. There's the rest of the moderating team, the KS crew, the RPers, individuals like Kuroro, Caesara, vkceankraz, Igg and Ness, as well as bunches and bunches of others - Ang, Cassi, Duke - but I had to cut it all down to ten. Well, you have seen me write a short message to you in my 10k post before.
I'm acutely aware that all, barring one, on my list are on the moderating team. I think working together like this has to bring people closer somehow. I would have put so many others if I could have.
And now, I fare you all well.)
