Just wanted to bump this thread to thank Dwynter for being such a great guy. His concern about his fellow bronies is really touching. *hugs*
I want to thank Saikyo for being an amazing friend and my big bro! Saikyo, you really do watch out for me....thanks. I want to also praise Foxy for convincing me that it's ok for me to join the Staff Chat, even if I was uncomfortable about the whole thing. Also, for being there to lend a hand, I'll remember that.
I try my best to ensure your well-being. I'm glad you feel this way, Zephyr. I'm also glad you got over your fear and joined the Staff Chat, something I most likely won't ever get to do. Just know that ol' Raven is always watchin'.
There's a staff chat? should have guessed, but still. Also, cheers to Saikyo for being such a classy sir. I haven't had quite as much fun for a while!
It's cool, always here to help if anyone needs it. I wouldn't abandon anyone to deal with stuff on their own.
shout outs to: Sky, Affection, Sonic Bluefire, Pinkie Pie (Rasii), and sorry to Sky, Sonic and Affection for making you feel unconformable
I'd like to praise: Pixel and Miggy for still joining my Ventrilo. At least they are "loyal" :derpe: Also, Tenor, Rapi, Thana if they still go on my Vent.
< on Vent currently XD Not that I may be there for very long, I'm not the very best conversationist and it's probably rather late for DRD... But online, anyways. :derpe:
...I would give more shout outs--but I don't know a lot of you. I never forum, as you can see. From the ones that know me on EPR, thanks for helping me through a tough time. I feel that many of you deserve more. Their is two ponies I know of that really needs more shout outs *Glares at everypony*. Slendermane: I love when you get on the chat! You make staying on their worth while! I find it very--weird that you first got on EPR RIGHT AFTER I read the Slendermane fanfic. Very odd indeed, but awesome none the less. Alzarath (Sorry if I spelled your name wrong! D: I love your straight forward attitude. You make the chat a bit crazy at times and I love it! Sorry Twilight, this bit wasn't so much praise as a passive aggressive statement. Not permitted here I'm afraid. -Foxytail
Well I thought I should take a little time out of my day to give some praise to some people. Foxy- You do so much for the site and work so hard to keep all of the people tame and sane. Well, we're all quite insane, but you get where I'm going with this right? If it weren't for you we'd probably be at each other's throats most of the time and it's awesome having you around to avoid that! Flash- You go so under-appreciated here on the site sometimes that it disappoints me. You were the first DJ I've known on this site and since then I've always wanted to be a DJ, and now that I am one I've been trying to model how I act as a DJ and a Moderator based on what I've seen you do on this site. The things you've done to keep this site from going down the drain should demand the praise and attention from everyone here and I'm shocked it doesn't. Raindrop- You were my first real friend on this site. Without you I don't think I would have really gotten into most of the things I would have here, in fact, I think I might have just stopped listening to the radio altogether if it weren't for the interactions I've had with you I wouldn't be where I am on the site today. Thanks man. Harleh- Legit the only person who remembered me on this thread, but that's not why she deserves the praise I'm giving. Harleh deserves praise because when all sorts of crap breaks loose and people get in horrible moods... which, they tend to do a lot nowadays, she and her super-hyper guttermindedness can easily share a brony up. Viper- You seriously have the chat on lockdown when you're paying attention. I don't mean lockdown as in nobody is about to talk, I mean lockdown as in you keep the idiots in check and know when and when not to clear the chat, ban people, etc. It makes me envious that you're so good at this and I seriously respect you for being able to make decisions like that so quickly.
Okay I'll just make this a quick one. I might make a more general one later but I just have some ponies to thank right now. 1. Zephyr (Otirrob): That statement above just made my day. Honestly. It feels really good to know that some ponies notice and appreciate my work around here and modeling your style of DJing after mine is a compliment I'm very thankful for. It makes me feel like what I'm doing here is the right thing. Altough I wish I could do more. 2. Foxytail: My darling deserves my praise of course! I wanna thank you for all the great support you've given me ever since we both found our way here and even more so since we got together. There's noone else I'd rather spend the rest of my life with! I love you deeply and thank you for all you've done for me, all the times you were there for me when I needed a helping hand, needed someone to talk to. You're awesome and have my highest respect for all time. I love you. 3. Grey Nightmare: Even though it wasn't always easy, you've always valued my opinion and supported me in my admittedly not too many ideas. I wanna thank you for that support and even though you stepped down from your position, you'll always have my highest respect. You're a great guy and an awesome friend! Thank you! 4. Raindrop: How could I forget R? Ever since we first met here on the site, we've become good friends and now you're definitely one of my best friends ever! Thanks for all the times you supported me and helped me do stuff, I might not have been able to do otherwise. And just like you're there for me, I'll be there for you, whenever you need help with anything. 5. Spitfyre: When we had that staff discussion on skype, I noticed you voted for me to take the free admin position. I want to thank you for trusting me like that. Even though it is Foxy who's now taking care of the site even more than before, it feels good to know that you think I'd be able to do it and be worth it, though all I can do is keep DJing and make the best ou of what I have. Thank you very much. 6. Flutterguy: The same as for Spitfyre basically. In addition to that I want to mention the good job you (aswell as Spitfyre) are doing with moderating the RP Chat. I've come to see that it got a lot calmer and generally less spammy and especially less suggestive and cloppy. Thanks for that and keep up the awesome work. That should be all for now. Don't feel bad if I didn't mention you. I'm sure I'll make another post with everypony in there. This one was just out of a "I need to thank these ponies now!" kind of mood.
I love you too darling. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for your strength in helping me through this. You're the shining light that keeps me going <3
Time for randomness and whatnot. So.... Shoutouts! First of all, not to toot my own horn, but Dat's right, I gotta shout myself out! How can I not? PROTIP: The correct answer is Easily. So yeah, Serious Face Mode on! First of all, Double Rainbow Dash. Your shipping me with all of the ponies amuses me enough to warrant mention, not to mention that you went and made me have fanart of myself. I still have trouble grasping that. Next, as to relate to above, Luprony. First of all, just for being awesome. Second of all, for the zalgo shipping art. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's no surprise that, since it's not a liquid. Thirdly, grayOne. You finally got here. Congradulations! Now to hope that this doesn't cause my mind's total annihilation and whatnot. If it does, still worth it. Oh, and how could I forget ElementOfChaos? You may ask what it is you have done for me to mention this, and the answer is simple : You were there. Maybe the fact that taking to you is always interesting is a shallow reason, but it is important none the less. The above also goes to about half of the radio chat. I can't make a list of names, since I don't remember them all, but you know who you are, and that's what matters.
Thank You! I would like to take this opportunity to thank a group of friends on here that helped me through a horrible event that occurred on Skype™ earlier today. I was pretty upset, and you guys managed to turn my frown upside down and to show me a good time tonight! For that, I thank you guys so much! Awesome Friends - Zephyr Wind - The Saikyo Brony - SkyRaze (nbunomad) - Yetione - Sonic Bluefire - Insane Lugia Once again, I cannot thank you enough for cheering me up this evening. It means so much to me to know I have friends on here that genuinely care about my well-being and are willing to help me out when I need it. I know it's not something I ask for normally, and whether I do or don't, you're willing to offer a helping hand hoof. I love you guys!
ur Damn, man, it was nothing. Anytime you need anything, let me know! Time for my praise... Luprony: I don't think you have any idea of the amount of respect I have for you right now. I really don't know what to say, other than don't let the bad crap get to ya. All of that will pass soon enough. Zephyr Wind:Little bro, you've been through a lot of crap recently, and I'm glad to help you out. You're extremely strong to stand against all of this that's been goin' on, so keep up the good work! DanSze: You are the only one from the Chan that I have actually met that makes any sense. Like, really. Keep it classy, my friend. Yetione: Thanks for everything you do. You always offer to help with something even if it seems out of reach. I appreciate what you do for this community and others. Please, keep up the good work! Foxytail: Thank you for keeping this site in check, making sure that it's safe for everypony here to browse it to the point where they are comfortable. You have my gratitude and respect. Grey Nightmare: Without you, we wouldn't even be here right now, I don't think. I'm glad you can manage to keep this site up so everyone can have a good time and such. Thank you! ZeroxMission: For giving me a damn good fight in Street Fighter, and being an awesome friend in general. You've got my respect, simple as that. Derpy Hooves: You are hard, but you are fair, and you don't play favorites, and that's what I like about you. Keep it up! Sonic Bluefire: Thanks for takin' my request, for one thing, and for another... you take RP to a new extreme. Haven't had that much fun RPing since my days playing D&D with some friends from school. In short, I wanna thank a lot of people, but there isn't nearly enough time at the moment. Perhaps tommorow I'll edit this some more.
Hehe, thank you for the praise. I remember that, and I stand by what I said. It was just a typo and not really a big deal. If anything, it provided more laughs than anything else. Heh.
Okay, now it's Lupr's turn, and there's a lot I have to say. First of all I just want to acknowledge all the things that have been said about me in this thread. I want everyone who's mentioned me to know that these words mean more to me than you probably think. It's often fun to get meaningful on the forums, and come up with an essay of what we like about people, but I take these things very seriously. I strive to be as good a member on these forums as I can be, and I do my utmost not only to contribute with meaning, insight and whatever wisdom I have acquired throughout my life, but to also be a friend in any way to those in this community. You all make this place what it is in your own special way, and I'm proud to be a part of it. There are ups and downs, nothing in existence doesn't have those, but I'm prepared to stick through it simply because of the confirmation by select members that I am doing my job. Coming from you, Foxy, this means wonders. How I moderate the stream is something I put myself under constant scrutiny for, so to hear I'm doing well from you of all people has raised my confidence in myself ten fold. I know this comment was made a while back, so I can only hope I'm still performing to the standard you have set of me, if not exceeding it. I hope to do you proud Foxy, and I am learning from you. I know you probably won't get to read this, but I want to say it anyway. I fully enjoyed helping you, because you're a good person and you fully deserved it. Consider that reading as a tiny thank you to how much I enjoy hearing from you. You do occasionally need to be reminded of very tiny EPR rules, but you're ultimately a good person and a good friend. Well thank you DRD. I'm not sure what constitutes as awesome in your opinion, but I'm glad I fit the bill. It makes me feel as if I'm doing what I try to do right. Maybe one day we will all have a meetup, it's something I wouldn't hesitate to participate in, and I think every user on the forum will have to concede that it wouldn't be the same without your presence. Also as to relate to above, I'm not sure how you define awesome, but I have no doubt that it's a fair warrant to explain why I'm so flattered. It's never a dull moment when you're around, and despite the constant joking around, there is a serious and intellectual side to you that I completely respect. As for the art, hey, that's my thing, glad you like it! Oh, and how could I forget, you have provided me with a metric ton of entertainment by sitting through my LuprSze joke, like a Faust. Saikyo the feeling is completely mutual. I respect you to such a high degree, practically every word you say here carries such a high magnitude of gravitas to me I can't describe it. We've both been through what is frankly hell, so I honestly feel like I connect with you. Granted we've been through different kinds of hell, but none the less we've got our own stories to tell and each has made us stronger in a way. Well, come to think of it, I wouldn't say it's made me stronger at all. But I'm getting there, and honestly? I don't think I could have even begun to get there without you. I mean dude, seriously, you can't comprehend how frustrated I am by the lack of words to describe what, frankly, a brother you are to me. A saving grace is that I know you are intelligent enough to know how much you mean to me and how much of a guide you are. This world needs people like you. People sure do like to call me awesome, don't they? Well Cyber, I've picked up on this now, and you can rest assured that it has been duly noted. I honestly was just trying to be friendly when you came in, but I'll now see you as a real friend. As for my deviantART page, well I'm flattered, I truly am. The one thing I hold to about my art and music is that I never advertise it, so when someone like you compliments it, I now it's your true word and not just saying it because I asked you, because I didn't. Thank you Cyber, everything you've said has been noted, I promise. That's not all though. There are still members I have something to say about. It's not just those who have been close in recent times, but in the long run, who I feel I need to bring up and mention. This isn't just what they've done for this community, this is what they've done for me. Pinkie Pie: I can't stress enough how grateful I am for your constant checking up on how I am. You are a truly brilliant person, and I know my life would be ever so slightly greyer without you (no offence Grey Nightmare). The fact that we've both shared personal issues (ones that I won't mention out of respect) really cements how much I both respect you, and to be honest, like you. You really do brighten up my day. It's hard to keep positivity like that going, which is why I really have no doubt you are one of the most genuine people there are. I want you to know that I will always stand up for you, as you are one of the people that has affected my life for the better. Derpy Hooves: So much to say. As an admin, you probably get the feeling of great respect all the time, thoroughly deserved as well I might add. However, with the talks we've had, I fully respect you as a person, not an authority. Your view of the world is very similar to my own, and I can't help but view you as a person with great insight and thought into every aspect you consider. I guess what I'm trying to say can be encompassed with the statement 'you're a good human being'. Not a lot of people even get to deserve that consideration, however there's no doubt in my mind you're worthy of it. Even without the vast knowledge of how to run a website that you possess, you'd still be the best candidate to man the helm of this place. I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say we feel completely safe knowing you're the boss. Grey is a difficult man to succeed, as he himself is a top, top bloke, but you're simply perfect. Aside from that, you're also brilliant on a personal level. You listen, which is often all it takes. The fact you believe I'm a good moderator just fills me with so much self satisfaction, it's brilliant. I also would like to say you are a musical inspiraton. You make me want to take musically seriously, and as soon as I'm out of the rut I find myself in, I'll get cracking on with that. ePONYmous: I don't care, I'm mentioning you again. It's probably nothing I haven't said before, but I want to reinforce it, because I mean it. I'm very conservative with my words, I don't fling out compliments because I feel they lose their meaning that way. I don't say you're a nice guy if you're not, and I don't overpraise someone who is 'alright'. I choose my words carefully, and I mean what I say. It's this that makes me hope you realise how much I like and respect you. You remind me of myself in so many ways, but only the good ones. I look up to you as a human being, and I honestly try to model my insight of the world on yours, because I know for a fact you go about life the right way. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I always look forward to hearing from you. You are one of the few people that can outright disagree with what I say and have me itching to hear what you have to say. Disagreement isn't a bad thing, it can often lead to self reflection and learning, and that's what I do from you, I learn. You teach me. You're a credit to this whole forum, and even being on speaking terms with you makes me feel as privileged as a person can get. Don't change, I can't stress that enough. I highly respect all of you, I truly do, however there's one person I want to hold my highest compliments for. They are quite frankly becoming one of my favourite people in the world. Soppiness incoming. CometGoat (I_Ride_Ponies on the forums): Dude I don't care what anyone thinks, I love you. I mean it, you are my best friend in the entire world. You mean the world to me, and I don't care how that comes across. You are frankly the best person in my life right now, and I would be in utter shambles if it wasn't for you. We're so similar on so many levels, it's like we were supposed to be best friends. When my stepdad was killed, you were one of the few people who showed genuined care for me, not hollow sympathies. You were literally there for me, and stuck by me even when I didn't want to live anymore. I absolutely love being with you, you're just a great mate. We have a sense of humour that not everyone would understand, but we don't care. You don't care, but in the greatest of ways. You do what you want to do, and you're not afraid of what other people think of you. I can't explain how much I look up to you for that, as it's something I've never been able to do. That, and you're a good few inches taller than me. I have loads of friends, many come and go. However, I've never had a friend like you before. Everyone has what they called 'best friends', which is frankly nothing more than 'special friend of the month'. It's one of the many acquaintences they know that they simply become closer to for a period of time, before moving on to a new one. However, we've been the closest of friends since primary school, since before we were 10 years old. We made so many crazy plans together, making movies and comics, becoming business partners, becoming famous, all crazy kids dreams. High school honestly made me think we'd never speak to each other again, but we can both agree that it was those most insignificant of circumstances that ended up bringing us back together. I am so grateful for that, because you have brought my life back from the gutter, you've made life worth living again. We've started more crazy dreams now, except this time we're old enough and wise enough (I use that term carefully) to know the meaning behind it, and actually make substantial decisions. I could have told you this in person, as we do have those moments where we get all philosophical and reflective, but frankly I want everyone to know how much of a friend you are to me. I am proud to be your friend, I really am. I'm not joking, lying, or overexaggerating when I say, as a friend, I love you. If there's one thing recent events have taught me other that the fragility and beauty of life, it's the passion behind the words love and hate. I've realised that all my hate lies with one person now, and that's my stepdad's killer. But, I've also learned the true value of it's counterpart, love. I don't love everything, there's not a lot I do love. That's because love is a rare thing that is reserved for only the highest components in someone's life, and you are one of those components. You've got a sense of humour, as stated, that only me and you really get, so the way you exert on this site probably leads other members to think of you in their own way, but if they truly respect my word, they'll listen to me when I say this. CometGoat is one of the most amazing people that has ever been brought into my life, and I consider him practically family. I can't express how much I love you in that aspect, because whenever I think about it, I just want to buy a sidecar and throw crap at chavs while flashing them. But I don't want to do it on my own. I need someone in that sidecar with me. CometGoat, I choose you.
