Thank you, everyone.

I just finished having a conversation with Spaceman. It has made me question a few of my long-standing beliefs, and thoughts, but that is unimportant at this moment. It also spurred me on a random urge to make this topic. I want everyone on BS12 to know that I do appreciate you. I appreciate having a community of people, loosely-knit on quite a few games, that actually bother to come together to have fun. We remember each other's aliases and preferences as well as ideas. We see each other, most of us, as actual living people behind the name that we know. I know that some people here know each other in the life beyond the internet, and I regret that I do not know any of you personally.

For the admins, I want you specifically to know that I love that many of you actually decide to devote your time and energy, bits of your life, simply for the entertainment of others and yourselves. You keep everything running, even if it rarely runs smoothly, and I know that it is never an easy job, especially with the seeming lack of organization, as well as the lives that you people must hold in order to handle this time. I adore you, I love that there are people in the world that do do things like things, and that you are the people who we strive to become. The admins here can be an individual, not so closely done by rules about speaking to others; the blatant honesty and camaraderie makes me feel as if I am actually doing something kind when I come here and say things, sometimes not for myself.

It is wonderful that there is a place somewhere where we can be friends, be friends and not have to worry about the outside world for a short amount of time. I have very rarely ever have had anyone here be rude to me without provocation, and I love that. You people deserve more, for being people and allowing yourselves to actually be open to others, even if it is only on the internet, which we understand is generally fake and unreal.

I love the server, and I appreciate everyone, even the players who are currently banned, for making it what it is, something akin to a family. Your pains are my pains, and I will now finish this, as I literally do indeed have tears in my eyes as I type this. Have a nice day, everyone.
