The problem comes when you want to recognize them with something other than your good word. That equates to a simple popularity contest, and as such, some people will always feel deserving (Whether they should be or not).

IMHO, rather than something where others can feel bad for not having, if you wanted to recognize someone for their help......

Just say so to them.

The bit about Dev's Choice and Hall of Fame seems odd since Hall of Fame seems to have dissipated from the collective mindset and Dev's Choice have slowed down a bit as well.

tl;dr for HellSimian

There are no grammatical errors in the post that matter in a game's forum. The most flagrant, strictly prescriptive error is "a lot," use of which is more an error of diction. In casual settings no properly trained editor or other grammarian would fault its use. Just as no properly trained editor or other grammarian would allow it to stand in academic or professional writing. I tend to view words like "unsubbed" as new coinages, and I've seen many instances of abbreviation-turned-word in casual, scholarly, and professional discussions: you should feel free to make up words, so long as the new words' meanings are fairly clear to your audience.

I'd argue that the name of the game, City of Heroes or City of Villains, would be italicized, since those are the names of the major work, and Going Rogue would simply be placed in quotation marks since it is more like hte title of a smaller part of the work: it's more like a chapter than it is like a book; more like an episode than like a series.

A closer look reveals a few more things that I'd not worry over in casual settings: "Aug 15th" should maybe have a period after the abbreviation; "Rouge" is actually Rogue, but my spelling and typing suck, too; "Oh, and WB!" this comma might not be necessary, but I generally have to look up comma issues to be sure. It may be separating an exclamation, "Oh," from the rest of the sentence; it's certainly not separating two independent clauses: "WB" could be thought of as an abbreviated independent clause since "welcome back" has the implied subject "you." Without looking it up, I'm inclined to keep the comma because the sentence looks a little hinkey without it (the smell test).

As for spelling grammar wrong...your awn you're oan.

*I didn't consulte CMoS, Bedford, or APA for this, but I can cite pages if it would help: I'm within arm's reach of Chicago, APA, and three grammar handbooks. None of the American grammar handbooks or style guides says anything substantially different about grammar, punctuation, or usage. The style guides--APA, Chicago Manual of Style, and MLA--differ primarily on issues of formatting and citaton. I've spent a good deal of time reading them, cross-referencing answers from them, and tutoring young accolytes in their arcane lore. It gives me little joy that this knowledge will likely haunt me forever.

When in doubt, you can contact http://www.uwf.edu/writelab/grammar/ and have someone whose job it is look it up for you.

I'm not as fancy as Hellsminion_CoH, so my dip involves opening a package of something (ranch dressing mix, dip mixes) and pouring half the package into one cup of Fage Total 0% Greek yogurt. One cup of the yogurt has 120 calories and 20 grams of protein. You can mix it with any dip mix and it tastes great. (I know someone who combines the yogurt with chocolate pudding mix, but I can't vouch for the taste of that first hand. It sounds terrible to me.)

I mostly drink water, coffee, or iced tea. Occasionally I'll have a glass of wine, a rum and Coke, or whatever else is around. Drinking champagne and playing is always fun!
