MetaPost comments and questions about the messageboards and other parts of EN World. If you have a problem, this is where to go. Moderator email addresses are posted here.
I just had a random thought, and decided to start a thread about it. Since this is an unusual origin for a thread, I figured I'd put it in Meta.
As both a moderator, and a member of these forums, I want to say Thank You, to...
... every poster we have here, who discusses things in a passionate but courteous way. I love passion in a side of an argument, and I love the way the people of these forums can respect each others' passion for a given subject, and in the aftermath leave behind one hell of a thought-provoking gaming thread.
...every poster who posts links to duplicate threads, so that when I close a thread I can just copy/paste from their post and close, without hunting down the original first. You make my effort 99% less.
...every poster who reports flames without adding to them. You make our jobs easier than you know.
...every poster who welcomes a new person to these forums, and tries to answer their questions honestly and with patience. You are probably reason #1 that this board has a reputation for friendliness.
...every member who contributes money or time to these forums, just to keep the place running another day. The love and attention given by these members is an uncommon thing on the web.
...the openness to share acquaintences and friendships all across these forums. I know Eric had no clue what he was launching at the time, and Russ had no clue what was in store for him when he took over heading the boards, but have a feeling neither one regrets the decision. Some truly nice people are here, day after day.
I see these things going on all the time and get reminded that I don't acknowledge that they exist enough, which is cool in and of itself; with rare exception, they just go on naturally like some kind of perpetual motion machine. So thanks to all who do these things. You're why I'm here.

If there's one dragon, it's a solo monster.
If there's five dragons, they're standard monsters.
If there's a dozen dragons, either most of them are minions or your DM is tired of the campaign.

Absolutely! A big thank you is in order to all of you!
If I may add... Thank you to...
... everyone who takes it upon themselves to be a good embassador for EN World at other message boards and websites. You make us look good when you carry the spirit of EN World's community elsewhere.
... everyone who keeps in mind (consciously or not) the notion that the "other person" really is a person and not just a faceless, anonymous Internet entity.
... the folks from game pulbishing companies who take the time to come by and remind us that their companies are not just faceless monoliths or mere institutions, but real people who are willing to listen, take suggestions, and engage us in gaming conversation.

And a BIG THANK YOU to Eric Noah...for if it was not him, in the early days of his web site. My interest in continuing in this genre, might have waned greatly. Which by accident on a surfing day, lead me to here. With seeing his name mentioned and all that.
But a heaping thanks to Trace *HOE* for sponsoring me...and in turn did it to others. *plan to do bigger this year...hehehehe*
And a great overwhelming BIG BRITISH HUG to Russ, for placing the unconditional trust with me, in letting me enchance and evolved the SCI FI section, with hints and tips and help from everyone that supported me.
*staring to tear here a bit*
And lovely GREAT BIG and TREMENDOUS THANKS to the entire Forum Mods, for being great and down to earth people...heavy props to Kevin on that part, hope to meet you one day.
And heave-ho to Brother Shatterstone & Darkness...for being current the funniest Mods, to date, in posting replies...just crazy they are.
Much thanks to those who keep these boards up and running on a daily basis and to those posters who make the boards worth visiting on a daily basis. EN world is the first bookmark I click whenever I'm online and I consider it my home on the net. I check in about a dozen times a day. Hoody Hoo!
Thank you to Henry for starting this thread. Scientific study indicates that thankful people are happier, healthier, longer-lived people. We hear and read criticism of all number of things every day, but all too rarely do we get to see genuine thanks and praise.
Thank you to the respondents of my recent gendered character traits thread. Your responses provided wonderful "sexy" data, and helped me to write an outstanding paper for my class.
Thank you to all of the moderators and support staff of EN World. Your efforts are a crucial part of what makes this such a nice place to be.
Thank you to all of EN World's posters: your posts are what makes this such an addiction.
Thank you, Eric Noah. I speak for everyone here, or at least I hope I do: Thank you.
EDIT: Thank you Thanee, Crothian, and so many others for consistently responding to rules questions promptly and with citations and well-reasoned explanations or arguments.
EDIT: They're not the only ones either. Look what I got when I asked for art objects! http://www.enworld.org/showthread.ph...63#post2348663
EDIT: Thank you Amadan, and especially demiurge 1138, for help with designing a giant raven and a raven swarm.
EDIT: Thank you Land Outcast, Quickleaf, Corvidae, & VirgilCaine for the help with the Staff of the Raven

Reason: Another thank you. . .
...and thanks to everyone spending their free time to create such great contributions as the story hours, free maps, character sketches, and countless others. Great stuff!
I also want to thank everyone for staying polite and corteous most of the time (some room for improvement still), as there is really no reason not to!
Thank you, everyone!
And a special thanks to Arbiter of Wyrms for making me wonder what the hell that link had to do with the warlock...
Real special thanks reserved for Eric, who sparked it, and Russ, who made it prevail!
Bye
Thanee

Thanks to the ENWorld staff - all admins, moderators, creators - for the very best page for all things D&D (and d20, for that matter)!

Our new world is large enough to handle several styles of play, including this one.
There's really no reason to force everyone into playing the same campaign. Every DM has different tastes, and a good campaign setting allows him to find something that speaks to him and to his play style.
The Pathfinder Chronicles campaign setting is all about options, not about dictating a single way to play D&D.

You know, I've never been a part of a board, forum, blog, etc. ever, in the 10+ years I've been around the net. And I must truely say that, as En World is my first, I greatly appreciate the wonderful first time experience. I probably won't be a part of any other forum for a while, because from what I've seen from friends, there is no other board around that has the same atmosphere, friendliness, care/concern, etc. as this board does. You "expect" the mods to be nice, but not EVERY "peon" poster. I've yet to run across anyone that has been a discomfort, which is amazing.
I figured I'd put it in Meta.
