    Happy birthday EP, no cake for you though, you're just a monster. An ugly, fat, orphan monster.

    I'm surprised to hear that Mike's going, but nevertheless he did a great job, and I wish him all the best in future endeavours.

    I mean every word of the praise, but that's just spotlighting the best of the best, it doesn't mean I see anyone not on the list as any less of a person or friend.

    I've only been around for just over a year, but it's been a relatively good one, and I hope we can continue to help Everypony.com to prosper further in the future.

    Happy two years Everypony, everypony!

    Wow...I've been the resident furball for around a year now. Either RPing or beavering away on reviews. Now I'll be beavering away on this site in general. I can only hope to fill the shoes left. Although, the metaphor breaks down when you consider how horseshoes work.

    I'll try and keep things running, Mike. You've been one of the best of us for the longest time.

    So, here's to the next year ahead, ay?

    Holy... crap. Two years? NO. IT CAN'T BE TRUE. I can't be two years older! This can't be happening!

    What? Another someone is retiring? GAH! I've been through so many staffers that have retired, it gets to my feels EACH AND EVERY TIME.
    Much <3 for Mike. You're purtay awesome, purtay awesome, indeed. As for Tyro, as like as he Tryos we'll be okay :D <3 XD <3

    That being said.

    Hai Saiku. <3
    You make me cry.
    For good reasons.
    Thank YOU. <3

    Given what that word means in staff room terms, I think that's the last thing we want him to do.

    Worst community post in my opinion. I hate bad news. Mike... Mike. MIIIIIIIIIIIIIKEEEE!!!!



    Mike is my favorite member on the forum.

    When I say it's the worst CP, I mean that it really puts me down that Mike is no longer 'round. I hope he continues to remain as active as he was.

    Happy Birthday EP! Boy does time fly... Also I see Ghan again! Guess that's gonna be his OC whether he likes it or not. xD

    Anyways -- I may be stepping down, but I ain't going anywhere! Everypony is practically a part of me now. I'm so happy to have been able to have helped our community and will always continue to, even if only on the sidelines. I know you will do a great job Tyro! <3

    I won't be sad about Mike. The awesome dude we all love will still be around, and who knows? Maybe ever more than before, since he's not gonna be weighed down by adminerial doodies. ::S:

    Yeah...I'm not 100% sure how that turned into an in-joke but we want as much anti-tryo as possible.

    Also, I knew you'd guess who you were Poetic, even with the badly placed skull cap.

    I am absolutely stunned about this entire post.

    Eight and Kuja? Those banners, man. Why you guys so awesome?

    Mike stepping down? Well... right in the feels. You were a fantastic admin, man. Stoic, galliant, the perfect paragon of a leader.
    And a few fun traits thrown in the blender.

    As for Tyro taking the place, I couldn't have said better myself. You'll be a fantastic admin, I know it! Just make sure the new members you come into contact with don't die from your adorable, fuzzy little face.

    The shoutout for me... the feels this post is giving me. You guys are way too good to me; heck, BETTER than too good. I don't recieve praise much, and here's a statement claiming I get it all the time.

    THESE FEELS, MAN!
    It's been a fantastic year at EP. Best year of my life.

    1. holy crap mike is retiring ;~;. I'll miss his modding capabilities and his awesomeness, but since he's staying on the site, I'll actually be able to talk to him more often!

    2. HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYPONY. I wasn't here for last year's, I was 2 months late :C

    3. I'm still sad that I haven't had any honorable mentions in anything ever in this site. Is my work done here unnoticed like everywhere else? ;~;

    Overall, my feelings match up to this

    Who's wants an afterparty on the radio tomorrow, Friday, 5PM EST?
    For the birthday and farewell of Mike.

    (Couldn't do it today because of work =/)

    Whoo, happy birthday Everypony.com! It's been an interesting two years, and I certainly hope there are many more to come. Excellent job on the CP, Ramza!

    Mike, we were brought on (I think, anyway. You were at least a bit before me) at around the same time as staff. I've really enjoyed working with you, and hope you continue to stay in touch. I expect to see you around on the site more often now, especially the blogs ::S:.

    Congratulations on the promotion, Tyro. Don't go Tryo too hard while you're at it.

    My fault entirely. I'll take all the blames for the GH-4N model. ::S:

    Wat! WAT!

    Mike...Mike...I will miss you and your muffins baked in the chat...

    Or was that Spike? I always mix up names that rhyme.

    Anyways! I am sad to hear that! I am happy to hear that you will not be leaving, and I wish Tyro the best of luck!

    Also: EPRPZ YAYZ

    In case ya'all didn't notice, I shall be running the easy EPRP! With a remake of Mentis Asylum!

    Violet will be watching you. :Boo:

    I've been here for almost 5 months, and never before have I seen such a community. Everyone is so tight-knit and everything.
    I'm happy to call Everypony's Network my home. :)
    Happy birthday, Everypony!

    Everypony, the Easy EPRP will be delayed by two hours. It will now be from 7:15 pm to 11:30 pm EST.
    My boss called just now and asked me to work from 2:30 to 7:00. :sigh:

    So I'll have to do some GM improv as well, as I don't have it all planned out yet either. Hopefully it doesn't all just dissolve into chaos.

    I will try my hardest to make it work!
