What a nice idea Absynthe! [img]smile.gif[/img] And right back at you, I value your presence on this forum a lot! Funny, I saw a PM from you the other day that dated back from 2002 (no wonder people complain my inbox is always full!

). Thanks for this thread, cool idea. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Anyway, while there's simply no way I could thank ever..bla bla bla etc, there's some people to thank here.
First there's Fred, Donut son of Donut, who's been a member here for nearly five years and whose fantastically sharp and funny personality, spot-on posts, hilarious subtitles and genuineness I already miss very much, and will miss more.
Then there's the inimitable Moiraine, who has got to be the nicest member ever - genuinely caring, sweet, incredibly generous, wise and empathic.
Thanks Groj and Vasky for being such cool co-admins and friends, and for all the great laughs you gave me.
Aaron for being so hot

(or that's what you want to hear anyway). For all the great chats and the friendship, and just for being so cool. [img]smile.gif[/img]
The mods (Mouse, Sazerac, Memnoch and Cloudy) for helping me some years back and for being good at their jobs as well as being cool people.
The Collective - you are good friends and I'm really looking forward to seeing you lot again soon!
LadyZekke for kicking butt!! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] And for her wonderful glittery personality and something else too, which I shall not name but for which I'm very grateful. And this is also a thanks to all those people. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Aelia, for having the ability to make incredibly to-the-point and concise posts in debates to which I find myself nodding in agreement and not posting because she's said all I wanted to say.
In short, I'm really thankful for all the people who have brought intelligence, depth of character, true humour, idiosyncracy and life to this forum, and who for me kept it from being a spam-and-teen-angst ridden chaos I'd only want to flee from.
Oh and by the way, I'd "THANK"

everybody not to turn this thread into yet another slowchat/spam monster. There's about a zillion other places for that, and it's really very disappointing to have nothing but off-topic posts that add nothing to a thread when you expect to find people actually replying to the opening post.
