Just wanted to take a moment to say @Hooded Pitohui, you're an amazing friend, and I'm honored to call you one, even if it's only an online one. :D

Reviving this thread to give love to the community for an amazing Mario Awards, Mega Brawl, and for those who read my writing! Also, I wanted to spread some love for my best buddy @Hot Cocoa: I hope you're doing well and having a great 2024 so far

Hope this will inspire more posts here.
 
I just found this thread. There have been some awesome people in the Mario Wiki/Mario Boards community! Too many to name specifically. So this message is just my appreciation for everyone involved in the Mario community (excluding banned/controversial users)!
 
@SparksMarioWiki You're a great editor too! I'm happy you're contributing a lot to the wiki and have been part of the more social aspects of the place. I really appreciate your work on the Mario + Rabbids pages it really paid off! And who can forget you joining along and making fun of how I post on the wiki itself! I hope you stick around and continue editing here, you are wonderful to have here.
 
It's been a while since I've done a big one, so I felt I was due to make one.

First and foremost, @Hot Cocoa, you are the true definition of a best friend. It's been really amazing to have such a supportive and great buddy like you. We've had so much fun creating our own stories and hanging out, roleplaying too. I know things haven't been the same as they used to be, but you've managed to power through your downs and come out a better and stronger person, which is absolutely incredible and inspiring. I am exceptionally glad to have you as my Vice-Chairperson for the 14th Poll Committee and wish you the very best.

@Waluigi Time & @Hooded Pitohui, I've really enjoyed writing stories for you both, and talking about Cayde and Zerris to no end. You're both fun to talk with and also supportive as well. Writing has really become somewhat of a hobby for me, and I love creating stories that everyone loves to read.

@Ray Trace & @LeftyGreenMario, Wario is still in Jupiter's Great Red Spot while Taylor Swift plays through headphones superglued to his ears, I have newfound appreciation for destroying Wario and maybe I'll shoot him to Neptune next time, who knows?

@Master Viper, you're a joy to have here with your endless positivity and being in Car Wash. This thread is just one of the many ways your positivity shines in this forum.

@Patissiere Peach, @TheBlueCatMenace, @Zdrmonster Productions, and the other RP forum members, I love that the Car Wash is still going strong and I love seeing your creativity there.

@Natalie J., it's been really awesome to know you and hang out with you. That story in the last Shroom issue was really sweet and I hope you can take your creative writing hobby up to above and beyond. Proud to have so many LGBT members here like @Princess Viola and @zel, too.

To the Chairperson of the 13th Poll Committee, @Dr. Alexander Wexlyn, thank you for a wonderful year and we hope to continue it with the 14th Poll Committee.

And of course, last but not least, @porplemontage & the mods, thank you for making the Mario Boards an awesome forum to be apart of.
 
Wow, it's been 4 years since I joined this place! Usually when I celebrate my forumversary, I just make a profile post about it, but this time I wanted to thank everyone here on the Boards for making it a pleasant place to be. When I joined four years ago, the world was in the midst of a global pandemic. Looking back, it's kinda amusing to think that if it wasn't for that horrible pandemic, I might not have joined in the first place - even though I had been reading The 'Shroom for quite a while by that point, I never really had the gumption to sign up for the paper. I think it was the insanity of the pandemic, and my desire to try something new, that drove me to finally submit an application. I really only joined the Boards to send in an application for The 'Shroom, but I stayed around for much more than that. Awards presentations, tournaments, mafia, the Poll Committee - I indulged in just about everything. I didn't think I'd get so invested in this community when I joined, and though there were times when I took a hiatus, I always ended up coming back. So thank you all for making this a great place. There are three people I'd like to acknowledge in particular:

@Hooded Pitohui - You're one of the friendliest and most approachable people I've met, and I appreciate you reaching out to me even when I was still relatively new. You bring great positive energy to the community.

@Diamant - I've enjoyed collaborating with you on numerous occasions, such as for the 'Shroom Director Election in 2020, the Ultimate Location Battle in 2021, and most recently, the PC Chairperson Election.

@Waluigi Time - You've made a ton of stuff over the past few years! It's been fun participating in some of your more collaborative 'Shroom sections like Mushroom Kingdom Smackdown and Dear Waluigi Time, as well as stuff like Waluigi Time Cereal Mafia.

I also want to voice my appreciation for the positive comments stuff like my art, 'Shroom sections, and Awards presentations got. They meant a lot to me, and they still do - I look back on those comments every once in a while, just because they make me smile.

To wrap things up, I hope to be around for a good while longer, and I'm sure this community will continue to be a great place to be for many years to come.
 
I was originally going to save this for next year but I thought "It's awesome to spread positivity and encouragement" so I decided to post this now! It's very difficult to not leave anyone out!

@Lemmy "Hip" Koopa - For being one of my very first friends on the site and for having funny and goofy conversations through PMs. You've made great progress on your projects as well! Bonus points for being a brony like I am.

@LeftyGreenMario - You are a very positive, supporting and funny member of the community. You were the one who nominated me to become a patroller in the first place, and I sincerely thank you for that. In addition those anti-Wario images and GIFs always make me laugh. WAHAHAHA!

@Ray Trace - For being related to someone so awesome and always checking in despite your busy schedule!

@Hooded Pitohui - You have helped so much with The 'Shroom, as well as helping me when it comes to getting my submissions all fixed and such.i admire your dedication to the community!

@Meta Knight - Helped me to get my submissions featured like Hooded Pitohui does and is also very involved in the community. Thank you for your hard work!

@Waluigi Time - Dedicated is an understatement because you do so, so much for the Mario Wiki community. I love your "Hiding Koopa" games in the Fun Stuff sections and your other traditional sections (Dear Waluigi Time & Waluigi Time comic for example) put a smile on my face. You've also helped me when I became a patroller and answered my questions.

@Daniel Dyce - For being the current Director of The 'Shroom and for your involvement in the community as a whole! I'll also be sure to beat up Bubble Man and Air Man for you in Issue 209.

@Anton - You helped me get my My Little Pony: The Movie movie review out for Issue 203 and you're also dedicated with The 'Shroom and Discord!

@Walkazo - I may have never met you, but I know you were a very dedicated and admired community member. We will never forget you and will always remember you.

@JC., @Shoko and @Glowsquid - You were all Bureacrats when I joined the Mario Wiki and you all have done tremendously. I don't know Glowsquid that well but he posts funny stuff on the Discord Channel. Mario jc was one of the first users who helped me learn the ropes of the Wiki and Shokora promoted me to Patroller.

@Nightwicked Bowser - You, with Mario jc helped and supported me when I joined the Wiki and are also a big fan of the Mario RPGs and the Mario + Rabbids games. I feel you don't get enough recognition, so I'm fixing that!

@Polterpup - You are also a very positive user and one of the kindest people I've ever met anywhere. I also like how you change your theme every month. So creative!

@Sweetie Belle - Another very kind user who changes their theme every month. It's also nice to see a fellow Sweetie Belle fan. Also shares similar interests as I do (Mario & Luigi games for example. The hype is strong for Mario & Luigi: Brothership)!

@Pink Cat - Your posts (both here and on Discord) are always funny and make me smile and laugh. You were the one who created this thread in the first place, so thank you very very much!

@The Owl Trio - Very dedicated member of the community who runs the Poll Committee! Also another user who changes their theme every month. Looking forward for the Mega Man strategy collaborations!

@Lin Beifong - You're an amazing artist and I'm happy I joined your Picture Pilgrimage. I hope to draw something great for it when my turn comes!

@June - You're one of the most active users who makes lots of posts and likes others' usually!

@G Major Steven Stone - A fellow brony and helped to keep my ask thread alone last month!

@ClawgripFan9001 - Very dedicated to your "Random Question of the Day" thread and a great 'Shroom contributor!

@SonicMario - AMAZING avatar and although I don't see you around often, It's great to see another fellow MLP fan.
