Dear Staffies

Thank you all who work so hard to make this site awesome fun for us all!

I especially want to thank Kristi (who has made an awesome website!!!!) and Ajnos. Thank you both for your new patience with me as I learn how to hopefully become a better Narnia reporter!

(

Oh, and that story that you made up on the fly for our 5 minute story, which turned into 10 minutes for most of us, 15 minutes for a few of us, and a half hour
for you, was incredibly well done and hilarious, especially considering the time frame you had to write it. I love the way you were asked by who I forget how Sherlock Holmes knew that the old gentleman's name was Mr. Ketterley, and you said, "Because he's Sherlock Holmes." 😆

@Will and Tooky: Heh, that was me and it took much longer than half an hour. 😆 Glad you have that memory though and it's all thanks to Lil running the Writers' Group (and huge shout-out to Islie for taking over that day).)

Thank you, staffies, for everything you do for us!

Staffies,

You are quite a marvellous bunch of peoples. 🙂

Kristi, I don't think I've ever mentioned it, but I think it was pretty amazing how, after the previous site crashed, you were able to put up the new site and get everything running in tip-top order. Thank you!!! And, not to mention, how all the staff - Ajjie, Wrosie, Tooky, Swanny, others who I might not even have realized were present - pulled together to get the forums and chat and contests and pages back. You guys are awesome, and while I've seen some of you more often than others, I've definitely enjoyed all the time that I've talked to you in forums and chat.

Mods, I know I don't post very often, but even so, having read quite a few threads, I think the forum would absolutely not be the same without you. Vmum and Benisse in the prayer section, thank you so much for lifting us up in prayer so faithfully! Miniver, I haven't talked to you in quite a while, but thank you for posting and keeping the threads lively and fun to read!

*Also, while they are not staffies, I would like to bro-fist my fellow contribs for being a fantastic group of people in general ^.^*

Dearest staffies,
Thank you so much for everything you do for TLC!!! I can't express my gratitude enough.

Kristi: Thank you for being so funny and encouraging.
Ajnos: I always enjoy catching up with you and hearing about South Africa!
Lil: You are the dearest, sweetest unibunny ever! I always enjoy being around you.
Vmum: I instantly felt comfortable around you and that made prayer meetings so much easier. You've really encouraged me to grown in my faith and get over my fear of praying in public.
Benisse: The same goes for you. Thank you so much for praying for me and helping me to grow.

There are many more of you who I have not mentioned, but I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you! You mean the world to every TLCer.

Dearest staffies,

Thank you!

Thank you for your friendship.

Thank you for your work in rebuilding the website.

Thank you for helping our community run.

Thank you for tackling trolls and spam.

Thank you for being awesome.

Thank you for keeping us safe.

Love, Islie 🙂

A big thank you to all the TLC staffies who work so hard to make sure that things are running smoothly. One person could never do it alone, with forums and news and writer's groups and prayer meetings and videos and everything! It is such a blessing to work with all of you. You are valued and appreciated, and I am so grateful that you choose to serve in this way. God bless.

Kristi

I know I don't come in contact with too many staffies since I don't normally go to chat but when I do I'm very thankful to God who has given TLC the best staff members around: staffies that do what they need to do, wear red without being scary, are fun to be around, wonderful to just talk with, helpful in almost every way imaginable, encouraging, uplifting, prayerful, kindhearted and just so much more that the list would go on and on. I just want to thank ALL of you who take care of this site in SO many ways that go unseen.

You are amazing!!! 😀

Very briefly, my last thank you to the staff 🙂
(and a fistbump right back at you, BD!)

Wrosie, because you've been busy and such, I haven't gotten to talk to you as much as quite a few of the TLCers, but I wanna thank you for being around and watching over us ^.^ You're really easy to grab when there are trolls and suspicious people in chat, and I appreciate you're willing to just come over at a minute's notice if you're able. 🙂 *hugs* I hope we'll get to know each other better.

Yeah, What Tenny Said. Wrosie is awesome. I know I'm a staffie. (I truly appreciate the messages of encouragement) but I just want to echo what Tenny said and congratulate Wrosie. Kristi and Ajnos, as well as the rest of my fellow staffies.

Thank you to everyone who posted and made SAW a success. 🙂

Mods and other contribs, I wanna tell you that I appreciate you guys too 🙂 Mods, thanks for watching out for us and being warm friendly people. Contribs, you're all awesome and do amazingly in the jobs you have.

To all the staff, mods, and contribs: Thanks for your commitments to TLC 🙂

Now, for any staff who want to post any notes to each other or have anything to say, I'm leaving this thread open for about another week for you to do so 🙂 (thank you to Kristi, Lil, and Benisse for going ahead and doing so 🙂 )

Happy End of Staff Appreciation Week, everyone!

Thanks everyone for the kind words and appreciation. It means a lot. It's a pleasure working on TLC and being part of such a great community. Really, it's everyone together on this site that makes it work and makes it work so well.

I'd like to add my appreciation especially to Kristi for creating this site and keeping it going through all sorts of changes and challenges. To my fellow staffies, especially those who have been staffing longer than me, thank you for your support. And as others have already said, I want to especially thank the forum moderators and contributors. Often you are the ones with the more-labour intensive work on the site. When you do your jobs, ours become a lot simpler. I'd name you all, but I'd probably leave someone out so I'll just say "thanks" across the board.

I love you all and you mean so much to me.

Ajjie >'.'<
