Thank you, Ultimus, for your loyalty and passion.

Lord_Of_Time, regrettably you will not read this, but thank you for that Christmas Day when you stayed on the forums and made sure everyone who had nothing better to do on that holiday felt special and loved.

Thank you, Golden_Girl, for being you. Sometimes I wanted to strangle you. Sometimes I wanted to marry you. You were, at the end of the day, one of my favorite people.
Thank you, Dark_Respite, for your creative visions you always shared with us.
Thank you, Lemur Lad, for bringing out the best in me and the rest of the City Scoop.
Thank you, Ex Libris, for helping me get a job in the video game industry and thusly changing my life.
Thank you, Manoa, for being such a sincere friend that I could always turn to you.

Thank you, PWNZ all and collectively, for helping me lighten up and enjoy life and the game more.
Thank you, Golden_Ace, for always believing in the Moon Zone.
Thank you, Korith, for putting a Bounty out for Kill. Did anyone ever collect?

more to come... many more. Hard for me to think of all the names. I could easily put dozens more without even feeling like I'm straining.

Please add your own.

Gonna take me a minute as well, good idea for a thread though.

While there are just so many people that I really want and need to thank, I want to start off by thanking a name from way back.

Thank you, Circeus, for helping me to get INTO this game, instead of just playing it.

Someone did collect Korith's bounty.

He DID get married, after all.

"Don't you know dead is spelled m-e-n-t-a-l in CoH? - SapphireShot

Thank you, Marcian Tobay, for starting this thread.

I'll update my post later, once I've fully digested the news. While I'd obviously stopped playing CoH regularly, I continued to lurk on the forums to see what was in the works from the devs and what was going on in game, which, oddly enough, is a testament to Paragon Studios and the CoH community.
