I feel like I cheated a little bit by doing a general thank you to all, but there are just so many I didn't want anyone to feel like I was excluding them and their contributions. I did however have intentions to post a follow up with specific thank you's and so here it goes:
Thank you flamesabers for your prompt responses to posts. Thank you for all your various topics and your efforts for trying to engage "lurkers" to come out and join the party. You're the reason why I finally started to participate in the forums instead of hiding and remaining in the shadows. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on my questions and shedding some light for me. Thank you for humoring me and all our fun and interesting conversations in #gdchat. Thank you for getting me addicted to Guild Wars 2 though I had sworn off ever playing those types of games years ago.

Thank you for everything and all that you do! Thank you for being you.
Thank you Lenneth for sharing your posts, insights, and prospective. I believe thank you for the #gdchat. If I got that wrong my apologies. I know for sure I can say thank you for moderating the #gdchat. Thank you for the conversations in the chat room, and for the help in playing Guild Wars 2. Thank you for sharing your progress and everything that you do!
Thank you Kari leigh for your posts and sharing your thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to reply and put meaningful thought and consideration into what you write. Thank you for sharing your life's journey with us through all your ups and downs. Thank you for everything that you say and do!
Last but not least, thank you Lotus for all your posts and insights. You take the time to research and gather a ton of information and share your thoughts and findings with all of us. You give so much to this community you deserve a great big THANK YOU for all your hard work! Thank you very much Lotus for everything that you do!
That is all that comes to mind at the moment. I will more than likely add more as the fog lifts in my poorly organized memory.
