      Thank you so much! You guys are great!
       
    19. Being a moderator is generally a thankless job - you're always either being criticized for being too strict or not strict enough- but it's a necessary task without which a forum could not continue to exist. Managing a forum of this size must be a mind-boggling task. You deserve all the thanks, gratitude, and accolades filling this thread and many, many more of the same. Thank you for all that you do! You are appreciated, even if we forget to show it.
       
    20. Here here to this thread!!

    25. My dorkity dork poem to the mods to say thankyou!!!

      Thankyou for you all for your patience, and you kind understanding,
      for putting up with endless questions and all our silly little things,

      For staying up late at night to make sure that we dont swear ;)
      for correcting our noob-posting errors when they are "here" instead of "there"....

      For downsizing MASSIVE pictures - and keeping us up to date,
      reminding us to be courteous to each other and never ever to berate

      For organising our chaos when we get our threads mixed up
      and letting us know gently that our MP thread is all stuffed up

      For telling us (gently) for the umpteenth billion time...
      Selling goes in the MP and not the waiting threads this time!! ;)

      I'd like to thankyou for making us feel welcome and sharing our dollies great and small..
      Because without you guys and our forum - we would ALL be slightly psychotic and most likely comittable...​

      :fangirl:ThAnKyOu:fangirl:
       
    26. Without all of you, DOA would be chaos. And we dont want Chaos!! So thank you, thank you all for all the hard work and patience it must take to deal with all of us!
       
    27. Thank you for keeping me and everyone else in line! Our time here is always safe and friendly because of the staff. You make this little piece of the internet heaven.
       
    28. ^^ Thank you for keeping the peace here!

    29. Thanks for being friendly and helpful to all of us, letting us enjoy all the benefits of the forum, and thinking up new rules to keep everyone safe and happy. :)

      and help came very quickly:D
      Thanks for making DOA the fun & great place it is:pcupcake
       
    32. It isn't sentimentality, it's well-deserved kudos! :aheartbea

      How often do you find a site with twenty-six THOUSAND registered members that runs with so few hiccups? and over ten grand of us are active, meaning you all get to put up with us and our quirks every...single...day! :lol:

      It's a thankless job - MOST of the time, anyway ;) and yet you all manage to keep eyes peeled for things that could be tweaked a bit to help even more. And, as I just said to my own go-to mod, while trying to enjoy the hobby yourselves. I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you do.

      Arigatou, danke, merci, and again in all the languages I don't know - Thank You all. :smallcake

    51. a BIG thank you to all the mods and virtues, especially armeleia , but all the others too,
      for taking on the running of this marvelous "three ring circus" that is DOA.

      i'm sure there are armies of darkness, or kindergarden classes, that would be easier to
      keep in line than us doll-people, but they chose us.*_*;)


      and for that we are eternally grateful:aheartbea
       
    52. Thank you all Mods and Virtues for keeping up the good work! DOA is a biiig community and you kept it so organized and are always helpful and friendly ^_^ I especially want to thank Julia because I have talked to you the most. Thank you Julia; you are always sooo nice and willing to help me every time :cake

      :sumomo: :sumomo: :sumomo: for all mods and virtues!!!
       
    53. So glad I popped in today. I have for a ~~long time~~ wanted to express my appreciation for the wonderful job the mods do here, and now I have a chance to say...

      {{{{{Thank You}}}}}

      I know this place is a real Team Effort, but it was Zagzagael and her beautiful Angels that captured me. Her kindness, her support and her encouragement to help me come out of Shy-Mode and actually participate. DoA has an energy I have never seen anywhere else. It is an amazing forum, and I am glad to be a part of it. :)

      Happy Five Years, and many, many more!

    54. Thank you for your hard work on making the Den of Angels a wonderful haven for all of us!
       
    55. i am fairly new to the forums but have felt at home from the very first...it's a wonderful place to be and it's all because of the doa staff.....thanks soooo much!!!
       
    56. Thank you Mods. You guys keep us runnin'.
      I imagine it must be a tough job, but you do it
      with grace!!

      :aheartbea
       
    57. :fangirl:Thank you all!
      I have been on DOA for a long time and truly appreciate everyone for all the hard work they do. We truly have the best board around :aheartbea
       
    58. Thank you Mod-squad!!
       
    59. The mods ARE great here. I can't believe how they run the board, participate in threads, give people personal attention, AND somehow have time to collect BJDs themselves. THANK YOU to the mods for keeping this place running smoothly, hosting all these contests, and everything else you do here.
       
    60. Thanks so much! For your unflaggingly positive attitudes, and for all you do on a daily basis. Thank you especially for the time and effort you've put into organizing these anniversary contests. Whoever thought up the naripon toadstool one deserves a gold star-- I haven't giggled so much in a very long time.
