I've moved this thread to a more visible location in the hope that it gets some much-deserved attention again. I haven't posted an actual message of appreciation in this topic for a long time. Better late than never. Lets start with some old-timers. I want to thank...
Petrie for starting this forum, keeping it up and running, and still checking in from time to time even though you've mostly moved on. We've not talked much 1 on 1, but whenever we do chat it is always a pleasant conversation.
Nick22 for always being around and willing to give his opinion on admin related issues. Again, we don't chat much 1 on 1, but your messages are always a welcome addition to the Discord group chat.
Pokeplayer for creating so many threads on various topics. I always look forward to your thoughts about the latest games, shows and movies. You've also been a good friend to me in the past, back when we were still chatting on MSN. I remember those days fondly
DarkHououmon for always being a friendly member to others. I know we don't always see eye to eye, but I appreciate your activity on the forum and the Discord group as well. It is always nice to see artwork from you too!
Flathead770 for being extremely patient, open and understanding when I needed a listening ear. You've been a very good friend to me the past year or so, and I wish we had gotten better acquainted at an earlier stage in life. I also appreciate your dedication to the fanart prompt and the works you create for it.
The Chronicler for your recent informative posts on the Apollo space program. Also your reviews of the various LEGO games were fun to read! I appreciate you're still around and actively posting after all this time!
aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) for never having changed your beautiful avatar

You're one of the few 2008 joinees that is still around, along with me, and I've always appreciated your presence on the board. We should chat more!
DarkWolf91 for your positivity, many fun chats, your artwork and your recent contributions to the voice-over project. I still regret we did not meet up way back when we had the chance.
Belmont2500 for our many interesting chats in the past, and for the trust you put in me. We haven't talked much lately, but like the two names mentioned before you, I always enjoy seeing you around.
There are many, many others that are no longer really around on the forum who have had a profound impact on my life, such as

Luckily, as some leave, others join, and there are many in the post 2010-crowd who are still around. So for round two, I'd like to thank...
Ducky123 for starting the fanart prompt, our many fun chats in the past, and for your help with the LBT fanart group on Deviantart when I needed it.
Rhombus for taking over responsibility of the forum when it was most needed. I really appreciate the time and dedication you continue to put into this place and enjoy our chats. You're definitely someone I can rely on.
Sneak for your excellent additions to the emote project and your unlimited enthusiasm for fanart by others.
ImpracticalDino for many fun comments on topics and always speaking your mind.
Vojeds for your patience when trying to join the forum, and your willingness to help out in many ways. You are very enthusiastic about this forum and the Discord server and have brought many great ideas to life.
OwlsCantRead also for your patience when trying to join the forum, and for your many fun posts on the forum. You're also a very nice presence in the Discord server.
DiddyKF1 for your help with the voice-over project. I don't think we could've gotten such a clean audio track without your help, let alone the perfect voice for Petrie. Your general presence on the forum is also really positive and appreciated.
LeventeII for your contributions to the fanart prompts, emote project and singing project. They are much appreciated
Sovereign for our interesting discussions and the time you put into giving everyone detailed feedback, whether it be for artwork or written work. We may not agree on a whole lot of things, but I do appreciate how much knowledge you have on the topics you are interested in and that you are willing to share this with others.
StardustSoldier for our nice chats and for your help with transcribing/checking the Land Before Time script. It's always a pleasure to talk with you.
The Lone Dragon for your general positive attitude, many nice chats and giving me insights into topics I knew very little about (mostly related to Australia and fencing
![;) Wink ;)](https://www.gangoffive.net/Smileys/gof/wink.gif)
).
Zero for your help with converting the forum, working with me on the themes and our in-depth chats. Keep up the positive attitude, and I'm sure you'll go many miles in life.
Anagnos for giving many people detailed feedback on their works and your positive and friendly attitude.
Phew. Luckily that only took a couple of hours to write up
There are so many of you that make this a great place to be for me, through good and bad times, and I wouldn't have it any other way. If I didn't mention you, it's not because I don't appreciate you, but simply because I forgot to include you in this humongous list
![:lol dino :lol](https://www.gangoffive.net/Smileys/gof/dino_laugh.gif)
Everyone on here is important and as a group we should be appreciated for keeping the LBT fan community alive
