Shouts out to Mana / XombieMike / Steve!

There goes Galamoth, talking about _wine again. Sheesh...it's a wonder you can function under all that intoxication. ;)

So, we've all agreed that the donut thing is a good idea...?

Are any of those donuts going to be of the Boston cream-filled variety?

Those are always good.

Agreed.

Thanks to Dan too, of course! And w00t, welcome (officially) to the forums!

Ok then
Who will be arranging the donut delivery to them?
Certainly it will not be me, since I lived on the other side of the world

Easy solution: deploy rockets, drones or zombies... or a combination of all of them!

But to be serious for a moment, I'm making this post to show my appreciation for our wonderful Community Manager Mana, who I am eternally grateful for her wonderful work. To properly explain my reasons why, I must dreg up something that I'd like to keep away from this board, knowing our stance on not wanting anything to do with that game, but if I am to properly give my reasons as to why I am so grateful that Mana is our community manager, then I must mention that awful game that came out last year and the board related to it, Mighty No. 9.

Now, back when MN9 launched its kickstarter, I was a backer. I put some money into it, thinking we'd get a decent platformer after Mega Man disappeared off the face of the Earth after MM10 three years ago (relative to the MN9 kickstarter). Since I backed the project, I got access to the MN9 forums. Now, I will admit that I've never bothered to post there, or even actively check that forum. I wasn't terribly invested in the project, and didn't really see any reason to post there so I just let it be. I therefore was not present when THAT happened, you guys know what I'm talking about. I won't go into detail about what happened since I wasn't present to witness it at the time, but suffice to say, just seeing the fallout of that incident afterwards left me shocked over the sheer unproffessionalism shown in that situation and the effect it had on the community, and has left me quite aware that just because someone has the technical skills required for a job, on paper, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're actually qualified for the job.

Now, to get back on track. Mana has shown herself to be a great community manager, she's diligent, honest, friendly, understands the love we here at this forum have for the Castlevania series and its legacy, and thus is able to relate to us and thereby be even greater at this job than other people normally would. To be honest, I'm nearly crying right now, seriously, that's how happy I am that Mana is our community manager and not somebody else. She does wonderful work and this place couldn't be any better off for it. Her work as the bridge between us fans and Dark Lord IGA the Great Creator has been outstanding so far, and I don't doubt that it'll be worse anytime soon.


XombieMike, purifyweirdshard and everybody else , Fangamer and Playism folks included, you guys rock!

Just wanted to get this off my chest for a long time now, I'm not the most active of members on this forum, but I know that whenever I log in, I can expect to find a great community awaiting me here, and I have you guys to thank for it.

I hope I haven't broken any rules writing this, just wanted to thank you guys and explain my reasons for it.

No prob, XombieMike, I understand your reasons for it and don't mind at all. Gotta keep things child friendly.
