Dropping in to say that a very small but dedicated group of people keep things running here and they should be thanked for their dedication. :D :heart: :D

Thanks to all the vistors of the site. Without you and your stories this site could not exist! Here are to all the mods and such that work so hard to keep the site running! **this is sure to get a response** I only wish that some of the mods would not "assume the worst" when someone new joins the chat! Being told to fill out your profile (or you'll get booted) 3 times in 3 mins doesn't make a newbie feel all that welcome. The more welcoming this site is the more it will grow and the more people we can all connect with.

Every time a person enters chat they get a welcome, Along with instructions to and how to fill out a chat profile. That was not put there because we didn't have anything better to do at the moment, It was put there to help the newbie. Chat profile is not an option..

We have a right to know who is in the room.. If you don't want to provide that information then you are looked upon as being antisocial.. A lurker.. Lurking is against the rules and you will be booted for it.. The key word here is "Chat" If a person don't want to conform the the rules or to take part in the chat then they have no business there, So, Yes they're kicked..

I'd like to express my most humble thanks to any and all who participated in establishing the new VIP section, along with the Competitions section... both excellent ideas long over-due! :rock: :heart: :inlove:

Thanks to all the Mods/Staff for the new expanded VIP area and for the new Competitions. I think it has added a "spark" for posters. Great work. :D :rock: :D

Now that the Competitions are over for this round, thanks again to the Mods/Staff for coming up with the ideas for them and for now the hard part of choosing the winners. :rock: :rock: :rock:

Just sitting here thinking how lucky we are... I mean that sincerely and not in a maudlin way. So I just wanted to say Thank You to the Mods and Staff. :rock:
