Sentimentality "Thank the Staff!" Day

Aug 17, 2009

    1. I've belonged to a host of forums, but I have never seen a staff that is as gentle and attentive as the ladies who devote their free time to running DoA. While we do make mistakes from time to time, I think that DoA has an amazing staff and I am truly thankful for our host of Moderators and Virtues. I hope that you are too! :)

      If you have a chance today, please take a moment to PM a "Thank you" to a Moderator or Virtue who has helped you in the past, or one who you feel has helped to really make DoA a great community!

      From me, a great big :aheartbea THANK YOU! :aheartbea to Junkets, Zagzagael, gothiclibrarian, Kellyhime, twigling, celticgeekess, dezarii, milkeye, Lizzard, sher, ginarolo, AreeElf, Idrisfynn, jaeninha, FairEmma, julia, Quiet Queen, St. James and Lolly! (A thank you as well to our past moderators, without whom this forum wouldn't have gotten started!)
       
    2. that's so funny. i was just thinking of doing the same thing last night. i think that this forum is run amazingly well. the attention that the moderators & virtues give it really makes a difference. they have always been so helpful answering questions & keeping this thing running smoothly.

      thanks so much to all of you! :cheer
       
    3. Thank you, all of you, for running an amazing forum where I've met so many dear friends!

      (Although my wallet may not thank you for the Marketplace, which is my downfall -- hehe!)

      *hugs all around*

    14. While I can't come up with an individual staff member to PM I would love to thank all of you for all the job you're putting in to the forum, especially all the "behind the screen stuff" that no one of us sees but that I know for previous personal staff experiences is the thing that takes up most of your time and energy.

      I also wants to thank you for making August such a fun month for all of us!!!

      Annefia!
       
    15. Thank you staff of DOA!! Without all of your hard work we wouldn't have such a great community and forum!

    16. Thank yous to the mod team! I run a very small forum myself and can only begin to imagine how crazy it is to run a large forum like DoA smoothly. ^_^
       
    17. thanks to all of you for taking control on the site ;~; this forum is HUGE. so it must be a big hassle D: thanks so much for handling everything professionally!
       
    18. You are all doing a great work to help us and moderate DoA ! Thanks a lot ! :aheartbea

    19. I can only imagine what it must be like running a forum this size.
      You guys all need to get a treat of some sort! <3 Thank you~
       
    20. I drew a picture to show what we'd be like without yous guys!

    21. Thanks so much for organizing all this it has been really exciting, and nice seeing how creative people on here are. Thanks for tracking down some really cool prizes too!
       
    22. Thank yooou for making this place awesome <3!
       
    23. This forum has the most attentive, caring, and friendly mods I have ever come across. Their diligence to keep this forum a safe environment and to keep everything running so beautifully is really what sets this forum apart from every other forum I've seen. Being of the sensitive variety, I tend to keep away from social sites to avoid getting dragged into an argument, or even just being put in a bad mood, but thanks to the fantastic mods on DoA, I never worry about who it's gonna be starting trouble. Making this a friendly environment has changed the way I look at communities, and by looking at all the wonderful talent and great people this forum attracts, I would say I'm not the only one who thinks so! Even when I had a thread removed or had done something wrong, I have always found the moderators to be incredibly patient and friendly.

      Thank you so much!!! Your hard work and patience makes this my favorite place on the web ^.~
       
    24. Better than 10000 words : we are here, on DoA, each and every day. That means we do appreciate this forum and the DoA Super Team ^___^

      Thank you and banzaï (never give up !!) !
       
    25. Without these forums, I would have not learned as much as I have. It's with ALL of your help that I so enjoy being here, learning everything from patterns & wigs to gazing at gallery items and hours of wishful thinking for my own BJD's, so a huge
      :dance THANK YOU!!!! :aheartbea
      to all the mods and those who make this getaway possible! :abow:
      Please take a bow for an effort well-done!
       
    26. Thank you so much for keeping this going. I am older and unemployed. I come here daily just to keep my sanity and keep in touch with the world! You are very much appreciated...
       
    27. Thanks to all forum mods for making DOA such a great community!!! m_^_^_m
       
    28. This forum really is a fantastic place for sharing our interests but also a fantastic resource for photos, FAQs and let's not forget enabling! But such a huge forum doesn't form in a vacuum; the mods and other volunteer staffers here have really helped guide and shape this place to be the welcoming first-stop that it is, where my fingers always take me in distracted moments! So much :aheartbea to you all!
       
    29. I think DoA has an EXCELLENT and very caring staff ~ You guys are ALL terrific, and I, for one, really appreciate all of your hard work and dedication to making this such a great forum! With a big thank you to everyone of our hard-working mods and virtures!!!! :bcupcake:pcake:pcupcake

      hugs to all, :)

    30. Definitely! Big thanks to everyone who keeps DOA around and running smoothly. It's one of my all-time favorite websites. I've moderated a forum before, and I know how hard it can be (so much more work that you'd think!). Everyone here does a tremendous job. Thanks again!

    32. A big thanks to all of you, not just for the work you for DOA, but also for being active members in the community! I actually have never had to pm any of you for any reason, and I think that's a testament to how well you guys run things. Thanks again!
       
    33. Without the DoA Staff this forum would not survive a day, you guys are awesome, and for putting together everything for this month is even more than you guys usually do! Thanks DoA Staff =3 You've made DoA an awesome forum and family
       
    34. I would love to say thank you to the entire staff for being so awesome! This month has been fantastic and you have gone out of your way to make it special for all of us. Not only that, you go out of your way everyday to make this forum one of my favorite places to go to on the web. I just went through my inbox and made it a point to PM each and every one of you that has gone out of your way to help me in some way or another. For the rest of the staff, I think you are just as awesome and I really appreciate all you do <3
       
    35. Thank you for running this huge forum and to keep this forum orderly~ It must had been a tiring job, and you all are doing so in your free time! I salute you all for your dedication.

      Also a huge hug for all for running this forum, because without this forum, I wouldn't be able to meet some of the friends I have now. So, you all deserve all sweet things and all the love. XD
       
    36. Thank you, Junkets, Zagzagael, gothiclibrarian, Kellyhime, twigling, celticgeekess, dezarii, milkeye, Lizzard, sher, ginarolo, AreeElf, Idrisfynn, jaeninha, FairEmma, julia, Quiet Queen, St. James and Lolly! Without you, I wouldn't have a safe place to learn more about my obsession.

      Also, thank you to any BJD families who were at Pennsic this year. It was nice to feel welcome at the meeting, even if I'm not yet a "mom".
       
    37. I want to thank you all for giving us a place to find each other, learn, and play. Thank you for being attentive, organized, and always there when we need it. Thank you DOA staff =D
       
    38. Thank you for such a great job and helping in maintaining this forum and keeping it such a friendly and warm place!
       
    39. I agree! We'd all be horribly sad cupcakes! Thank you everyone who helped bring all of us this opportunity to congregate and unite in our passion and share in our wealth of love! ;u;...Happy GLORIOUS BiRThmOntH!
       
    40. Thank you for having such dedicated staff members, the forum would be nothing without you all. Thank you, thank you and thank you~

    45. Rather than send a zillion PMs, I will say thank you here! Everyone's always been polite, prompt and courteous for whatever reason I may have needed to contact a mod. I'm glad you're here and I'm glad Den of Angels is still here!
       
    46. I haven't had any personal encounters with moderators, but I think they (and the virtues) are doing an amazing job with this site.

    47. A heartfelt thankyou to all those that make Den of Angels possible! This is the best forum I have ever been on and has been a daily part of my life for just over a year now. I really couldn't imagine what my days would be like without it.....I would panic!

    51. I salute you ladies! Thanks for making DoA a pleasant place to hang out and for making yourselves available to all of us; you do a difficult job completely unpaid! I hope you get as much satisfaction out of being our Mods as the entire forum does from having you around :)
       
    52. I'm very grateful for this forum, with out I'd be a sad information-less creature probably still trying to figure out what the hell a face-up is. D:

    54. Thank you all moderators and virtures of DOA. Without you this place wouldn't exist and if you all were to disappear...I'm quite certain it would fall into utter chaos.
       
    55. Thanks all the DOA staffs~!! Because you guys, so we can have this wonderful forum, and just like Berry-Kitsune said, DOA cannot survey a single day without you guys!

You've done a great job these past few years and made DoA grow into an example for all other doll forums. I hope these thankful notes inspire you to keep the good work going - maybe for another five years?

      Thanks again! <3
       
    59. A personal heart-felt thank you from me to the DoA staff. Especially Junkets who has dealt with my countless PMs over the years. You all have been so helpful, understanding and open minded. I've been here since 2005 and visit several times daily. There is always someone around to help when you need it.

      You folks ROCK!
       
    60. Thanks to all the Mods and Virtues who take time out of their busy days to come and take care of us and the forum!
