EDIT: Haha, very savvy scriver!

[Heron TSG]

I would like to thank, amongst others:

Vector: For being generally awesome and trying to make a difference in the world.

Aqizzar: For being a respectable and sensible political opinionator. I would vote for you.

ToonyMan: For making everything a bit more happy everywhere with your jokery and whatnot.

Janet: For being resolute in the face of darkness, for running the Happy Thread.

Criptfeind: For sticking to your opinions and morals against overwhelming odds. I might not always agree with you (though somehow we usually do), but your tenacity is commendable.

KaelGotDwarves: For being a bad enough dude to swing fire around and still leave his fingers intact enough to forum-surf.

Truean: You stand for justice in a world rank with corruption and hypocrisy. A true hero of the Imperium.

Jackrabbit: You've been around since before I even got here, and I've never found a conversation with you in it to be boring.

RAM: For being my partner in crime while playing D&D, I've learned a lot about both powergaming and roleplaying from you.

Iituem: For being great at roleplaying, a staple of the FGaR board. From Merrian Skye to game master, you do it all.

Shoruke: For being one of the best Dungeon Masters I think anyone could be. Not many would put up with someone who says they're going to play a water orc battle sorcerer and means it.

And I could write much more for many people on this forum.

Nice one, scriver.

I'd like to mention iceball3, Merchant of Menace, Projeck37, and freeformschooler for being generally nice to talk to, among other things, and Ehndras for having awesome ideas for games, even though the one I'm most interested in has been on hold for quite a long time now.
I'd also like to thank Solifuge for his silly streaming stuffs, Vector for being awesome (most of the people in this thread really, but the first one that came to mind was her), and everyone from the Sword of the Stars MP thread for being fun to play with, though we really need to actually finish a game sometime

[Dsarker]

Truean, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!

HERO HERO YEAH YEAH WOO

I would like to give my thanks to Bay-12 for being one of the best communities I have been a part of (And I've been to plenty; including having been part of the Myspace social media craze for the time being); for many reasons:
-Being a place where my oddball personality is more widely accepted, and feeling like a second home.
-Being a good source of debate, information, good games, and randomness, and as a bonus, keeping me up with what comes out of the internet at times (memes and etc.), and making (non)sense of it.
-Making even spambot garbage topics interesting.
-For accepting me as a Steam Friend/multiplayer game contact (always willing to allow more, just click the little globe under the avatar), and giving me a reason to invest in multiplayer games, as well as get into Team Fortress 2 and Left4Dead.
 --Addendum: Actually being competent players as well most of the time. I had my ass kicked a few times, but we also worked brilliantly as a team as well.
-For getting me out of a few creative blocks and such, and allowing me to show off some of my creativity without bashing it for the hell of it. Other communities weren't as kind. At least I got critiques, not criticism and (unnecessary) sarcasm.
-For being the kind of community that has sharp wits most of the time, and not resorting to cheap taunts, slurs, and etc. that are not only offensive in certain respects, but are also offensive at a creative scale (e.g. Not funny, not creative, no thought/heart put into it)
-For always giving me a reason to hop online besides news and looking for stuff and reading tropes.
-For not being too dull, nor being too "exclusive" to either lose my interest, or turn into a mob of bullies of sorts to convince me to leave by other means, just because of either an innocent mistake I made, and made up for, or my personality (or being a natural bully-magnet; being non-partisan and willing non-voting independent also added to it), or flat-out bad luck which also forecast the following years to suck just as bad for everyone else (mass-unemployment, SOPA/PIPA/COICA, for example) (e.g. Organizing a cyber-attack and such. Not cool [REDACTED], not cool in the least).
-On the note of politics, being surprisingly mostly civil about it; ranging from Occupy protests and the Internet Censorship bills, to anything else Congress decides to pull a fast one on us with (Looking at you NDAA and SOPA). I think I got more info I need and want here, than I got from my siblings whenever the topic comes up (mostly banter on how I need to vote to have an opinion, or some BS like that; from what I've been seeing lately, more people are starting to understand my perspective nowadays).

EDIT:
-I would also like to thank Bay-12 for helping me get rid of some leftover items that would otherwise eventually become worthless in my Steam gift bundle(s) and so forth that I can't offer to my siblings since they also own said items (Current Holiday Sale and related thread).

ADDITIONAL THANKS: (in no particular order)
Janet for her HAPPY thread (and doing a good job moderating it) and other antics.
WorkerDrone for being a good source of entertainment alongside Janet at times.
Vector for bringing all sorts of culture, math, and interesting stuff into the forum.
Vester for good input in topics, and her many drawings.
Solifuge for the interesting/funny livestream sessions.
Aqizzar for being incredibly tolerant with alot of the goings-on in the forums, and acting as a bit of a sub-moderator of sorts.
Footkerchief for being extremely helpful and insightful in the upper forums.
Deon for being a generally helpful person, including modding assistance.
Toonyman for being a good source of entertainment stuff.
KaelGotDwarves for being quite the badass.
Japa for similar reasons, as well as his contributions in the community forts and modding.
Ein for a few good basic lessons in Japanese, and other related interests.
FreeformSchooler for having such bizarrely funny avatars/smileys.
Naxza for our little rivalry that helped motivate me to climb up the Super Meat Boy leaderboards at such a ridiculous pace.
The many LPers and Livestreamers of the Play With Your Buddies Board for allowing me to join and watch some rather entertaining LPs.
The fans/supporters of my airship megaproject(s) for giving me a reason to start and finish a megaproject in DF; and even getting around to working on it's sequel.
Anyone that makes use of any ideas and/or input for ideas/projects/features wherever involved for trying them out, at least, and making me know that not everything I come up with is pointless/useless. Of course, with appropriate critiques/responses relevant to them.

Anyone else I forgot to mention for just being yourselves.

And last, but not definitely least:
ToadyOne and ThreeToe for both working on DF, and making such an awesome community through some rather epic moderation throughout the boards.

[Vector]

Oh, and everyone who was involved in Double-Down Man, especially Toony and Aqizzar.

I knew I was missing something.

[darkrider2]

Oh, and everyone who was involved in Double-Down Man, especially Toony and Aqizzar.

I have to agree with that.

edit: sorry

I have to agree with that maaaaaaaan.

[Bdthemag]

I'd like to thank Glyph Gryph for being an amazing GM, and dealing with players who are late and don't put a lot of thought in how they should upgrade their characters with humor and patience.

I'd also like to thank Fniff for sitting through me rambling for the past couple months over IRC. I'm also want to thank everyone in the Hoomestuck RPG for being generally awesome at roleplaying.

[alway]

Oh, and everyone who was involved in Double-Down Man, especially Toony and Aqizzar.

I knew I was missing something.

I second this. Despite the rise of this meme, I shall forever know him as the Double-Down Man.

And in general everyone else here who has stuck around and avoided getting banned. Best place on the interwebs!

[varnish]

I don't come down here that often.

But when I do, I almost always learn something. There's a lot of very intelligent people here.

Also, big ups to the people in the Play With Your Buddies section. All of them.

And everyone else, too.

That's it.

You're all cool.

I liked the Double-down meme better. More funny images came from it.

[Aklyon]

Speaking of up and down, even though I haven't done anything with them is quite a while, I'd like to thank all of the helpful question answerers in the Dwarf Fortress and Curses forums. DF and LCS both aren't very obvious in how to do various things, and without them (or magmawiki, of course) there would be a heck of a lot more confusion in these forums.

[MaximumZero]

I would like to thank you all for putting up with me, and this appears to be the opportune place to do so. So...uh...thanks.

[Truean]

It's been a 20 hour day so I will inevitably forget stuff. I apologize in advance

Deon, Petrix, Japa Modding, often for years.

The hundreds of people who sent me supportive emails when I came out as trans on Vector's thread. I expected the opposite. Thank you for proving me wrong.

Vector for:
-Providing me with a place where I could come out as trans without being run out on a rail, again. I truly do like that place.
-For personally sticking up for me to that effect to her own detriment at least three times I'm aware of.
-Putting up with the fact that I honestly don't understand the newer schools of thought and don't get them, as well as my inability to not think in set categories. (The last one is honestly an occupational hazard).
-Spending some of your sparse free time with me and being ok with who I really am.
-Meaning it when she tells me there's no reason to think of myself as a freak.
-Lots of other stuff.

Toady for: (In addition to the obvious DF)
-Reminding me that even if you are right for the wrong reasons, you're still wrong.
-Being rather nice to me.

Barbarossa TSG for:
-Putting up with my generally being so jaded I'm green.
-Being genuinely nice to me, despite said jadedness, and reminding me that people capable of that exist without ulterior motive.
-Believing in me when I simply fucking didn't and not letting that stand.
-"Truean: You stand for justice in a world rank with corruption and hypocrisy. A true hero of the Imperium." I'll be honest, I had to google the second part. Thank you.
-Lots of other stuff.

SalmonGod for:
-Being pretty awesome overall and actually listening.
-Being immensely civil about having many opposing views to me.
-Being one of the cooler straight guys I know concerning gays (at least me)

GlyphGryph for:
-Trying to give me awesome, helpful advice even though I was too prideful to listen at the time.
-Our numerous debates.
-A generally high level of awesomeness.

Aqizzar for
-Providing a sane sounding board that is sincere yet entertainingly snarky
-Being open minded, yet rationally skeptical.
-Having coherent arguments on the internet

sluissa for:
-Our PM conversations and debates.
-Listening to my various crap and actually caring.

MaximumZero for
-Providing awesome commentary to my posts that prove you actually give a damn.

MetalSlimeHunt for
-Being awesome in many ways

RedKing for
-The things you say, which typically seem to make sense to me as well informed with scattered awesomeness occasionally condensing into flash floods of yay....

Nilocy for:
-Having the courage I lack to be what she is and I actually am.

You know what, this is getting long and I don't want to start looking like a suckup. Also, I've got to get up in about four hours and prep for court so.... I have missed an absolute ton of people and I do feel bad for that. These just happened to be the ones who came to my sleep deprived mind, (I forgot to shut the lights off in the law library and will hear about it from the librarians, I know it. They gave me one simple routine task that I do every time I go there. I would screw it up.), in sleep deprived order.
