DISCLAIMER: I know a lot of people around here. Sticking around for 4 years does that to a person. I have talked to many of you and recognize most of you. But if I took the time to say something to every person I have ever run across, not only would I probably fail my exams NEXT WEEK, but I'd also be endlessly repeating myself and run into a situation where I would be repeating things which would cheapen their value. Therefore, don't feel bad if I don't comment on you specifically, as I'm keeping my comments for those that a) I am very close to, or b) there is some sort of inside joke running between us. You're all wonderful people, and I honestly wish I knew more of you better....we're all a part of this site and mold it into the fabric that makes the community which we are all a part of.
Yes, I will be posting this in each of my replies
A Wind Rises
Ah, one of the Games Board posters, where we amount to more of a cult than a group. Always have to give props up to them.
Abrianna
Welcome back Had missed you in the time that you were gone, and I find us getting rather close since you came back. You are an incredibly funny young woman, and I hope to get aquainted with the front seat of your truck someday.
Aemon
Yet another member of the Games Board cult. It's always nice to have a subordinate As one of the original posters, and currently the most active (I believe), you're an excellent person to have around, and provide.....conflicting viewpoints that can be refreshing.
aerocontrols
Ah, Matt the ever political. You are a constant source of intelligent information from a perspective that I rarely am able to find elsewhere. Whether it's tossing you stupid links that I find amusing, or putting up articles that bring to light many problems around the world, one can always look to you for insight and information. Probably the primary reason "Politics" isn't a blocked topic.
Alana
Where you go? You are a great person and are sorely missed.
AlannaDawn
Ah, Bridget. I remember the first day you stumbled into chat, the poor innocent newbie who was looking for a friend. I was happy to oblige. How far you've come since then. Whether it's startling people with your wit or your....tracts of land, you're sure to liven up a conversation and cheer everyone up.
And yes, I'm expecting to get smacked for the above comment.
Alesandra Sedai
Alex
Although your visits are becoming more and more infrequent, they are always to be treasured. Your sarcastic wit and amusement are riveled by very few. The rare times where I am able to catch you on IM promise to be interesting, and I always look forward to hearing from you.
You also have a sexy voice, no matter how much you deny it
Allie
*poke* Don't see you around much anymore, much to my displeasure. No matter how many times you tell me otherwise, I'll always feel at least partially responsible. You're a wonderful person and the community is feeling your lack. You should stop by more often.
Amyrlin
Hi. Wanna sit in my hot tub? You've always been a great person to have around, and even if we don't talk quite so much anymore, I can always turn to you when I need advice or a smile.
Amys
Yet another person who isn't around enough (what, is this a trend with you A's? What's wrong with all of you ) *hugs* another pleasant person to be around, who can seemingly cheer ANYONE up.
Angel
Heya Lozz. You've become much more quiet of late, but I know you're around here somewhere. Always a nice person to have around, I remember talking with you late into the night <for me>. Hope everything is going well.
anonymous_sedai
Claire. I see you. You're not invisible You're a wonderful person, and far too critical of yourself. You endlessly contribute to chat, and it wouldn't be the same without you. Here's to another few years
Antigone
ANTI! One of the original people that I remember around here, and a Pittsburgher, so she has to be great. Yet another person who should come around more.
Archer13
Although I probably know you more from Legacy than from here, it's always a pleasure to see your face around. Although rather quiet, you're always a pleasant person to talk to, no matter the topic.
Arok Manok
Yeah, who are you again? Arok is an excellent contributor to the site, and a pleasure to work with. Although I've likely been annoying him of late with my funny links that are political in nature, he's always a good sport, and a good person to turn to for advice.
Arun
Lex is another one of those who was around a lot but lately has drifted into the back scene. I doubt he'll be able to see this seeing as he has no Interenet connection at home, so I will just suffice to say that he is a great guy
Avendesora
*climbs Ave* The resident tree lady is one of the Old Guard who made it through the upheavels. She's a fun person to be around and do double entendres with, as well as a nice person to talk to in general. An excellent contributor to chat.
B.Alicia
Betty is one of the staples of chat, and one of the people who chat would never be the same with out, let alone the site. She organizes camping trips (which I have sadly been unable to take part in ) and regularily contributes to chat with useful and insightful topics. Fabulous person.
Bad Ash
Shannon is one of those who I wish posted a lot more. With his striking wit, he is able to shed humor on almost any situation with painful accuracy. He's been able to do so as long as I've known him. I hope things are going well at home
Balwer
Balwer is one of my old friends that I haven't gotten a chance to talk to closely for some time now and that saddens me a great deal. He's a very funny guy and an excellent part of chat.
Boli
Seeing as I'm probably one of the few who know who Boli is, I feel obligated to note that he's a great guy. Very sharp wit and intelligent, I'm glad to have him as part of my team. Now if only I could convince Pento to actually work, the rest of the site might be able to benefit from Boli's leadership.
BwB – Lodengarl
One of the primary sources of news from Martin, and a personal ally against the infamous Green Gaidin in Other Fantasy debates. Always able to make points, if not always in a concise manner, he is a great debater, and it's always worth reading his posts.
This was either the start of something bad or the end of something stupid.
