Special thanks to our Forum Administrator, ScaredGirl

[kev]

Congratulations to  ScaredGirl on reaching 10,000 posts!

ScaredGirl has just reached 10,000 posts (see the epic achievement here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,13519.msg420936#msg420936))!  Nobody else has half as many posts, but this is quite a landmark for our community.

I thought I'd use this momentous occasion and take the opportunity to give thanks.  We say so a lot less frequently than we should, but without the community that you helped build from the ground up, I'd have lost interest in elements a long, long time ago.  And I know I'm in the majority here.

SG, the community genuinely appreciates the thousands of hours of work you've poured into this forum.  Not everyone is aware of this, but SG receives zero compensation for her time spent here.  The only reward for improving the community is seeing the community improved.  Whether it be time spent pointing promising n00bs in the right direction, pointing destructive n00bs out the door, crafting  a new world for us to play in (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,176.0.html), or any of the million other things you do here, it's important you know your time spent is really meaningful to us.

So enjoy this party in your honor, ScaredGirl.  Everyone feel free to post gifts, poetry, and praise for ScaredGirl in this thread.  And if you haven't done so in the last six minutes, a +rep would be nice.  I'll get this party rollin by showing off both my mad art skillz and my mad grammar skillz:

I'm gonna be unoriginal: thank you Scaredgirl for everything you have done for this community.

Thank you so much SG! For everything you do!  For a present I give you unlimited E-cookies!

Something coming soon...

[Scaredgirl]

Thanks! Also thanks for the cake but unfortunately it has a typo. You put one extra "O".



Now I will go back to admin mode and move this topic to where it belongs, which is off-topic.

thanks for the awesome work you've done and you are doing SG !

SG, Do you ever get to be in the Awesome Events you help create?
Thank you for all that you do.

PRAISE SG!

But in all seriousness SG, thank you so much for everything you've done on the forum, the wiki, the game... XD To reiterate what kevkev said, I don't think I would have last as long without having someone pulling out 110% when it comes to community management and growth.

...since kevkev has given you cake, I figure I'll make something much more useful in the days to come later on.

Many thanks for the work you put in daily; these forums would be in ^that^ condition if not for you.

Thanks! Also thanks for the cake but unfortunately it has a typo. You put one extra "O".

And I thought the cake was pretty funny before.. 



Everyone's going to say it, but thanks SG. The forums are smoother and better than any others I have ever bothered to post >50 posts on (all two of them), and there is that extra level of dedication and effort going into it. Plus the good humor.

In fact, looking at all the replies above (and presumably below too, depenmding on when you read this), you've managed to influence a fair few people. While they may be far and wide across the country (world?), I'm sure we'll be seeing a couple of SG's among the President Obamas, Lady Gagas and Charlie Sheens in the 'My Hero - Dress Up Categories'

Spending a total of added amount of 158 days and counting on these forums... To be able to stay sane is impressive , although that nowhere near describes what you were able to do with this forum. Although some people would be able to provide all the effort you have given us, I doubt the forums could ever be this organized if it weren't for you. So Thanks for everything you've done here .

SG, you are awesome. For that, you can have my donut. Also, thank you for making the forums what they are today.
