Some props/kudos to a VERY special admin...

--And the mystery Admin is?--(cue the drum roll pah-leaseeeee hehe)..why it's JAFO of course!

All of the administrators here are top notch ..but Jafo has gone that extra mile for me as well as for so many people and he has been mighty kind (as he usually is to all the folks here) and I just wanted to thank him publicly since I already thanked him privately but I figured a little public kudos was in order.

Lately Paul has gotten numerous emails from yours truly asking for guidance. He's answered many of my questions and concerns with unparalleled kindness and patience with a willingness to help where he can. Paul recently helped me restore my skin library, which was not an easy task in and of itself.

I hope WC never loses you, Paul. It would be a cryin' shame.

So, in closing, thank you again Paul for taking time out of your life to help another person or to lend support or words of wisdom...it's very much appreciated and a very honorable thing to do.

Sincerely,

-Angela

P.S. If anyone ever writes with questions or concerns directly to Jafo/Paul please be at the very least polite and respectful and you'll get the same in return from a very decent person who deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Mmm-Kay?

-OHHHHHHHH, and have a great weekend!



Grrrrr. Message edited cuz Word turned my apostrophes into question marks. That sucketh when that happens!

Well I do think that Jafo is the workhorse in the Message Board, Keeping things in order like the Bad spellers , breaking up fights and calming disgruntled Thread posters, not to mention, hunting down rippers and other violaters. He even takes the time to correct some mistakes made on the Board from time to time, multiple posts and vulgar threads, things like that.

Well, you do a great job Paul! and Thanks

Yeah, Jafo is a cool guy. If only he knew how to spell... Did you know he doesn't speak Dutch?

BTW: Who is that woman in your profile, Shmoopy? Is that you? Are you trying to seduce him?

/me hides before he gets hit by Shmoopy's guitar.

Ewwwwwww. Self-correction...

"I have YET to seduce" sounded as if I had plans to actually seduce...ewwwwww. Gross. Sorry...I was being a smart-ass but let me say for the record...NOT!

Jafo is a perfect gentleman and DUH he's married and a very DECENT married man. I can't believe I had to say that.

Just for the record. Get thee mind out of thine unholy gutter! Ahem!

dang...mine unholy spelling has causeth me to actually edit mine own thread.

Paul. I always said you were, "special

shmoopy.... it might help if you turned the guitar around, you're holding it backwards, unless you're going to play it Jmi Hendrix style.

I have to agree totaly with this treat (spelling )
We all have to thank him for all his efford he put into this,

not to go off topic, but keep in mind that JAFO is active on the msgboard, witch is great ofcourse, but there are also a lot of people working on the code and stuff, spare a second for them too.


@ grayhaze, wasn't jafo the one who was testing your installer for you new suite? could be me...

Keep it going jafo.

Of course, I give a lot of kudos to everyone working behind the scenes too. But Jafo has 'put up' with me in a very kind and generous manner without making me feel I'm pestering him...so naturally...I felt compelled to give him some much deserved apprecation. I'm not showing favoritism...just some thankfulness for someone who has taken extra time out of his life for me when he most certainly didn't hafta.

OF COURSE...T-man and flyin' and george are doing an excellent job getting things situated!

And Frogboy (who has gone the extra mile for me too), Koasati and DavidK and Karmagirl and Paxx and...and...see?...now I will feel bad if I leave someone out.

To anyone I left out...you are doing a most EXCELLENT job and please ignore my forgetfulness if I forgot you!

I'm still waking up and my coffee fix has not kicked in.

Bravo Jafo

I'll agree. Here's to Jafo. More than anyone, he seems to be the guide and "cop" on the boards. I don't mean that in a bad way at all.

I can't even imagine how he finds the time. Again, here's to you.

And yeah, T-man is a quiet, unsung but oh so important behind the scenes hero (too strong?) He does do a lot to keep this working so here's to you too.

** thread hi-jacking alert** sorry Shmoopy, that's the second time I've done this to you. Pout and puppy eyes icons here

Subject: 1 small question...

Sorry to bug, but I uploaded an image last week (don't remeber what day)

and it was never put up. I use the login name *******. Does my image

lack something? I mean, for christ's sake tell me why the hell it was

never put up! For once, would you people have the respect to send

feedback.

Sicerely, Mister 'x'

 

Mister 'x'

Generally we do NOT provide feedback emails when a wall is rejected for exactly this reason.....we get 'for christ's sake why the hell it was never put up!' emphatic emails, complaining about a lack of 'respect'.

Please note that many people consider 'for christ's sake' as blaspheming....[I don't, but it is not a clever form of communication with someone you do NOT know].

Two-way street, my friend.

A courteous request would receive a courteous response.

I suggest you try it, and I shall provide you with a detailed explanation.

Cheers,

Paul Martin

JAFO

Chef Gary...

Now you're not playin' fair!

/me can not resist pouty puppy dog eyes

-And yes...T-man is a good guy...I once wrote him and asked a favor and he was on it quick for me.

Paul...sorry...I was responding to Chef Gary and missed your post.

I hope you get more positive e-mails than snotty ones like that... It's a shame when people huff so vehemently at someone who would be only more than willing to help if they were treated like the person in question would like to be treated. "Do unto others" an' all that.

I hope Mr. 'X' reads your response and maybe calms down and apologizes to you.

I get the sense that the admin's get way more than their share of snotty comments. "It's a wonder they're sane at all"

I think it speaks highly of their commitment that they stay as polite as they do.

...KG...in that case...might I interest you in a custom-fitted chocolate straight-jacket? I've already busted out of mine and eaten them on numerous occasions. The back of mine is written in white chocolate..."break and eat in case of breakdown"

I think I've only gotten one legitimately snotty message in all the time I've been here and it was from a Mr. Sproat.

You admins must have some super-powers to keep from having your heads pop off!
