Sentimentality "Thank the Staff!" Day

Aug 17, 2009

    1. thank's to all the DOA staff for all your hard work, We all LOVE DOA and this place would not run smoothly with out you guy's ;)

      BIG THANK'S from me ^^
       
    2. :pcake Seriously, mods, you guys are the absolute best. ^-^ Thank you all so much for your hard work and dedication!:pcake
       
    3. Liek everyone else I'd like to thank all Mods and Virtues for their hard work and for being generally fantastic!
       
    4. Thank you for bringing recognition and awareness to such an incredible artform.
      As an artist I'm very grateful.
       
    5. I think this forum is so amazing and it is due to the hard work and the time that the forum staff has put into it to moderate and improve.:aheartbea
      I think DoA has created such a nice community of doll lovers from all over the world to share, chat and trade dolls. It is such a big community as well, so a lot of work goes into this place. I very much appreciate all your hard work!
      Thank you Mods and Virtues~!:D
       
    6. DOA is the best run forum period!!!

      A big thanks to all the staff at DOA for making this place where we all want to be and for putting together the most wonderful contests for your 5th anniversary... I hope DOA is around for many years to come!
       
    7. A sincere and most heartfelt THANK YOU MODS, VIRTUES AND EVERYONE, who keep this place up and running.

      Without this forum I would have been so lost!
       
    8. You know, I think I've been helped at least once by each of the people listed above, and by the virtues as well!

      You guys do an amazing job wrangling such a huge group. Thank you so much for all that you do. <3

      It's appreciated more than you realize!
       
    9. Thank you all so very much. :) I couldn't imagine what my life would have been like had I never joined DoA in 2005. The photos, the friends, the dolls, the inspiration - none of it would have been possible without your help in keeping the forum running smoothly. You assist us when we need you most, and steer us in the right direction when we're lost. You answer our most difficult questions and have patience with us when we ask you for simple things.

      We send you our love! :aheartbea
       
    10. Thank you all so much! This is honestly the best forum I belong to and the only one I frequent and its all down to the hard work and dedication of you guys so once again, thank you!!

      :aheartbea
       
    11. Thank you guys, this is a nice place ^_^
       
    12. A big thank you to the staff for spending the time and effort to keep this huge community up and tidy. :)

      Lots of cake for you all :smallcake
       
    13. Thank you to all the staffs for all the hardwork to uphold the forum and effort to conduct all the interesting and fun contest for the 5th anniversary :D
       
    14. The moderators here do SO much work, it's mind-boggling at times. Running the forum is a hard job, and I'm so thankful that we have such a dedicated and friendly crew running the place! :) DoA is one of the most well-maintained, orderly forums I've ever seen... made even more unbelievable by its size!

      There are several times I've PMed or contacted a moderator or virtue about an issue, and I've always been treated respectfully and helpfully. DoA really is lucky to have them!
       
    15. Thanks to all the Mods for making this a sweet place to play!!!
       
    16. I know, only one voice in a (well, darnit, it _should_ be!) great vast chorus, but I know these forae don't run themselves. From the moment I discovered BJDs - three and a half years ago, now - Den of Angels has been a steady and stalwart resource. The go-to place when all other places fail - or even before other places are tried.

      To all the Moderators who keep the peace, and who make this chaos make sense, and to each of the virtuous Virtues (what's the difference between a Moderator and a Virtue? Do I need to know? Naah, not really.), my heartfelt thanks and deepest respect. To the ones I've met in person, please know that I am honored to count you among my friends.

      ~Bruce
       
    17. Keeping this bunch in line must seem like herding cats at times! Thanks for all your hard work. You guys make DoA the best BJD resource on the web. :)
       
    18. It's excellent that we have such a responsive and responsible moderating staff. :) All of you work your butts off, even if it means answering the same question about eyelashes fifty times or having to try to referee the bad transaction from hell. Thank you!
       
    19. To all the staff that helps this forum run so smoothly, deals with disagreements, posts such wonderful pics of their own resin!charges and anything else I've forgotten to mention:

      :aheartbeaDoumo arigato gozaimasu,you RAWK!:aheartbea

      Ryu, Ryuichi, InuYasha and the rest of The Guys:)
       
    20. :aheartbea Thank you all so much! We'd be lost without you. You guys do a great job! :aheartbea
      Here's some goodies for you.:chocoberry :chocoheart :truffle
       
    21. Thank you so much to the amazing staff and super-supportive Narae/Narin community here! You all are amazing. :3
       
    22. Oh, MAN! thank you, Aimee!! :D

      Anyway, I'd like to thank the moderators present and past as well... we are so lucky to have such glorious people helping us along here. I really can't count the number of times that a moderator helped me out or, even better, became a friend. :)

      HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOA!!!!!!!!!!
       
    23. Thank you! :goldstar

    24. Thank you to ALL DenofAngels staff, who help to make this a great community for ALL lovrs of BJDs to come to and enjoy! We may not say it enough, but we do appreciate all that you do here, whether it is noticed or not!

      Thank you for everything that you do!
       
    25. Much thanks to the staff for making DOA possible <3
       
    26. It is not said nearly enough, but Thank You to all everyone, especially the great MODs, for all they do for this community!
       
    27. I agree! Thank you all for keeping things running so smoothly and just making this a great forum!
       
    28. Thank you to all the mods/admins who keep this place alive and available for us hobbyists!!

      Thank you to to all the members of DoA which keep the forum busy and always provide something interesting to look at!

      Thank you all my customers and those I've bought from.

      This is the best run forum I've ever known - Here's to the next 5 years!! :D:D:D
       
    29. Thank you all!!
       
    30. Youre so right Armelia! Overdue appreciation hugs are in order! :D Plus just its cool we artists have a place like DoA too. I know my bjd would not have been a visible blip without it.
       
    31. Thanks for the ride and running this mad house, guys! I appreciate it. :pcake
       
    32. Oh yes!
      Thank you for your kindness, your knowledge, your promtptness, but most of all your patience!
      You guys have a very difficult job to do and you do it very well!
       
    33. Thanks to the whole DOA Staff for having this board. It is one of my favorite places to visit.
      Marianna
       
    34. Thanks to the DOA staff and all the doll companies and individuals who participated in the events this month. It's made this month fun of excitement and anticipation, and I've enjoyed it!
       
    35. Thanks for making this a great place to be!
       
    36. Thanks to all of the staff for such a wonderful and informative site! You guys are awesome! :D
       
    37. Great big thanks to all of the DoA Mods! You have made this the best forum I've ever seen. I am pretty sure that a big part of why the US side of the BJD hobby is so large is because of this forum. THANK YOU! :D :aheartbea
       
    38. GrowlyGal has said it better than I could! Recently, there's been a few minor kerfluffles in my local doll group - all of whom I met through DoA, of course! - and they've just made me appreciate, all the more, the safety and warmth that DoA possesses. Within its walls it's safe to just ENJOY our dolls - and not worry about having to defend or fight over them. DoA makes this hobby - this habit - so much more enjoyable than it already was!

    39. Thank you staff for making this such a great place!! :D
       
    40. I have to say that this forum is so useful and friendly and its bescause of all the hard work that the mods have always done. I have one or two of them that I usually will bother with a question ( you know who you are) but they are always quick polite and friendly.

      Thanks again for all your hard work to mods and virtues.
       
    41. Thank you for all of your hard work!:aheartbea:aheartbea:aheartbea
       
    42. Lots and lots and lots of thanks to the DoA staff for keeping this chaos so organized and nice to navigate and interesting and... well... fun!!! :aheartbea
       
    43. You know, I say it all the time: whenever I need to PM a Mod with a question, whenever I need info & am guided to the right spot by a Virtue, or whenever I get the chance to participate in something fun like all these great contests. But I'm gonna say it here as well - Thank you! :aheartbea As massive as this site is, without all of your concerted efforts & hard work it would be just a big mass of crazy! You all make it an excellent place to not only get all the doll info I could ever need, but also to meet others (crazy dollie people) like myself that I might have never had the chance to before. I seriously enjoy this site & feel it has enhanced my enjoyment of this hobby (not to mention taught me a few things ;)).

    44. BJDs are a huge part of my life and Den of Angels is 98% responsible for that. If it weren't for the Moderators, past and present, DoA would not be the fabulous all-encompassing and yet well-organized and thoughtful playground that it is today. I am constantly amazed at the amount of work they put into the forum on top of incredibly busy lives. As a virtue I see a tiny bit of what goes on behind the scenes and I am in awe of your grit, compassion and dedication. Bravo, ladies! :aheartbea
       
    45. :sumomo: :aheartbea Thank you DOA staff!!! It's you guys that make this forum as fun and addicting as collecting the dollies!! You guys rock!! :) :aheartbea :sumomo:
       
    46. Said it before and I'll say it again: You are all fantastic. Thank you all for your hard work, keeping on top of this ginormous forum that could so easily sink into chaos.

      It's always been a fun place and an invaluable resource for me, and I can't thank you enough for using your spare time to create and maintain DoA.

      P.S.: You've really outdone yourselves with this anniversary month. Oh noes, it's almost over! D: The planning that must have gone into this is mind-boggling. Kudos.

      :pcake:aheartbea:bcake
       
    47. Without you all, my life would be a lot less fun and a lot less interesting. I don't know how you put up with us all--a HUGE thank-you and :smallcake from me and the entire resin crew!
       
    48. TKS TKS TKS *-* to bring so much fun to our lifes on this aniversary!!! *-* CONGS FOR YOU ALL! :***
       
    49. I've never joined a forum before this one - just lurked. But, a lot of the reason I joined this one is the kindness of the mods. No question is a stupid question. Criticism is met with a kind answer. It's so different "here" in DoA's cyber world of dollies. Thanks for making this such a nice place!
       
    50. An infinite amount of creativity to admire or participate in, the most concentrated amount of bjd information, and a wealth of friendliness, is what DOA offers us all. Great thanks to the moderators and virtues, past and present, for the best froum on the internet! :fangirl:
       
    51. Thank you to all the DOA staff for making this such a great forum--you all rock!! :smallcake:pcake
       
    52. The mods are what help make this forum the warm, friendly, informative and awesome place it is; I am on no other forums but I adore being a part of DoA.
      I don't know how they keep such a huge forum so organised and fun to be on everytime I visit but they manage it and do a wonderful job to boot!
      Both my resin crew and I are extremely grateful for their presence, we don't know what we'd do without DoA. So from the bottom of our hearts: thank you!!! :aheartbea:aheartbea:aheartbea:aheartbea:aheartbea
       
    53. I can't PM one moderator or virtue in particular because every single one of you has been wonderful to me.
      I have had the opportunity to meet a couple of you and it was a real pleasure.
      You are some of the most talented and creative people I've had the chance to meet.

      I don't know if people know this, but this forum is run by amazing artists!

      The ones I met in person were really supportive of me when I was giving a presentation on airbrushing. You guys have no idea of how nervous I was and how awesome it was to have you guys there!

      Armeleia, Junkets, twigling and St. James you guys rock! Thank you so much for being so cool to me.

      celticgeekess: Thank you! I cannot express...

      This forum wouldn't be what it is without all of you!

      A big thank you and hug to all of you! You guys really are fantastic!

      :aheartbea:aheartbea:aheartbea
       
    54. I'm sure people have said it before, but I just have to say:
      I have never, ever, in my entire life seen a forum run as beautifully as DoA. And I have seen a LOT of forums. I think you guys must put a tremendous amount of effort into what you do here, and it really, really shows. You've created an environment that I am comfortable learning from and contributing to, I never have to worry about where I click or anything, everything is laid out nicely so I can find it, and it's just FANTASTIC. If I hadn't found DoA, and hadn't been comfortable with how it was run, I probably wouldn't even be saving up for my first doll, and my life would be considerably more empty than it is, not to mention I probably wouldn't have very much to look forward to in the future (which sounds pretty bleak and dramatic, but it's true).

      So, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! for making this such a wonderful forum that has helped make my world a better place!:aheartbea
       
    55. I've been thinking what to write; I'm not good at expression.
      So simply a big THANKS to all mods, for the efforts and time you spent on DOA, making it such a wonderful forum!
       
    56. I thought I already posted here but I cannot find my post anyhow I personally want to thank all the staff for making DOA so fabulous. I spend 99% of my free time on here and have met some fabulous people. I don't know what I would do without DOA
       
    57. I would like to thank all the staff here on DOA for providing us doll owners such a great place to gather. I have learned so much here and met many good friends, I don't know where I'd be without DOA. Big thank you!!!!!! + invisible hug XD
       
    58. thank you to all the wounderful staff members for putting this all togather. You all have done a wounderful jod on this form!
       
    59. I wish to thank them being there when I needed help and when I needed to be reminded of the rules. Hugs to you all, Marie
       
    60. Love! :aheartbea
      And heres cake for youuu: :smallcake

      Thanks for everything =3
