I wanna start this sappy ol' thread by prefacing this; I'm not stepping down or anything of the sort, I just feel that a lot of this stuff goes unsaid but I personally believe it deserves to be said out loud because I think not many people look at sandbox this way.

I absolutely adore the community that has been built up in this lobby. We may not all be the best of friends here, but I truly think that if just about any two sandbox users were to meet each other in real life they'd get along superbly. Seriously, I just wanted to use this thread as an opportunity to say thank you to everyone, past and present, old and new, who has contributed to the sandbox community and who has spent their time being a positive presence in this lobby. I could sit here and list so so many users (most users in this lobby are amazing and I'd love to get to know them all better) that fall into the category of positive members of our community, and maybe I will once I see how much traction this thread gets, but I suppose we'll see.

A lot of it is probably down to how optimistic I am towards other people but I really do think that just about everyone who's been a part of this lobby (at least in the time I've been here, roughly 4 years) is a pretty great person, even though I'm sure a few of them wouldn't feel the same way about me. I also want to use this space to let any sandbox user know that I'm here for them if they ever have any troubles (be they Epicmafia related or otherwise), I care a great deal about each and every person in our lobby, no matter how silly it may sound.

So thank you all for being a part of making our lobby great and here's to making it even greater. I love you all.
