Admin: A Heartfelt Thank You

[angelsgracie.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to take a moment to tell everyone on the list that I fully support the decisions that are made by the volunteers and the mods. I was going to put this in the beginning of the month post, but I think it deserves one all its own.

Recently, some things have come up on the comm, and [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] has stepped up to the task of dealing with them in a grand fashion. I really don't know what kind of muck this comm would be without her. I feel I need to put it out there that she handles a lot of the 'not fun' stuff so that I don't have to. She steps up and handles it wonderfully. It's not a fun job, it makes her the 'heavy' in a lot of situations, but I could not and would not be able to do this without her. By far and away, she has the most difficult job here. I know I don't say it enough, and I know I probably haven't been the best in showing it, but there isn't a better right hand anywhere. She's really one of the best people I know. No other way I can say it. And for clarification, I completely support every decision she's had to make here. They haven't been easy, but they've been the right ones. Sort of the mark of a good leader right? Someone who makes the tough decisions, even if they aren't 'popular'.

In the same vein, I want to thank the volunteers:

These seven people give of their time, voluntarily, to keep the comm organized. They respond to rec'cers often asking questions about tags and categories. They are all hard workers. So please, if one of them responds with a question about an entry, be nice in replying. They're just doing their job... and they don't get paid. :)

Basically, I just want to take a minute to thank all of them for all their hard work. It can be a pretty thankless job, I know, but I'm taking that moment now to thank them.

Thank you all!

I'd also like to say Thank You, I adore this community, which wouldn't exist without you guys, so all of your hard work is most definitely appreciated! ^_^

This is a lovely comm, I read faithfully- thanks to the mods, all the volunteers and all the reccers. You do a terrific job- it's always a pleasure to go back and browse the conveniently tagged recs for a good reread as well as seeing the new stuff coming up daily.

You guys rock! (((hugs)))

Amen to all of that, especially medie. *HUGS her* You just forgot one person...you! This comm would've died LONG ago if not for you. :-)

[live-momma.livejournal.com]

Thank you all! This comm is such a great resource, and I really appreciate the work you put into it.

I wanted to say thank you as well. I'm very glad that my mistakes have been caught so that I could clear up my errors. *grin* And I really do mean that and not being at all sarcastic. *grin* *HR muses on the silliness sometimes of technical communication*

Want to add my own thanks to all the other maintainers and mods that answer my questions and put thier time and effort into the community. It's a wonderful place because of you guys and our monthly recc'ers!

This comm is a fabulous resource and one I'm proud to have contributed to, if not as often as I'd have liked; many thanks indeed.

Group Hug! Thank you for the community and for all the work you guys put in to making this comm such an excellent one. I read a lot of groups but I feel as if I belong to one.

Thank you to all of our rec'ers! I've read some truly amazing fics as a result of your work. I've come to rely on several rec'ers to take me into genres that are new to me and never been disappointed.

I read a lot of groups but I feel as if I belong to one.

That should have read:

I'll add to the chorus. I've found a lot of fic I may not have otherwise read from this comm...and would visit the site long before I joined lj.

Thanks to all for your vigilence. :-D
