Oh gosh, this thread is even more beautiful than I imagined. Thank you Ha and Krys for putting it all together, and to everyone for contributing your thoughts and talents.

It's just so gorgeous and well-deserved... a lovely thread for an amazing mod. Thanks for everything Kylie, I'm sure it's obvious how much we appreciate all your efforts here!

It's been real dude. Good luck with real life! Hopefully you'll still have time to escape every now and then and get a burrito.

Oh the e-tissues. Good times, good times. I'm definitely going to be needing one of these bad boys. Kylie, don't use the whole box, kay? LOL. P.S - Lyn I miss your humor! Get a burrito, and sit here and post while you eat it =P.

The thread looks great, Krys and Ha! Thanks for putting it together, sorry I didn't get a chance to send something in.

Kylie, you have been such a great moderator and friend on this board. You're always so kind and welcoming, and the first one to jump in on a project or offer to help with a survivor or celebration, and it's always been so much fun posting with you. It's so sad to see you go, but I understand your decision and wish you all the best, hopefully you'll still stop by from time to time We'll all miss you like crazy if you don't, and even if you do, it just won't be the same without you here constantly.

Well I feel like a broken record but it needs to be said! I am so sad to see you go, Kylie. We have both been here for a long time and known each other for even longer. I will always have some of my best memories from times on the Insane Lenzbians thread and every other thread that was hopping back in the day! We have had some good times and we will have more in the future. So you better stick around here with us, you hear me?! Or I will find out and drag you back and you know it.

I hope you have had an equally awesome time here keeping us crazy Joy fans in check. LOL!! At least we can say we are never a boring bunch! Thank you for everything you have done for us, for the board and for everything you continue doing. I appreciate it more than I can put into words.

So really, let's hear it for one of the awesome members here on JOYPITER!!! I don't care how cheesy I sound, I love that we will always have our own little family here and no matter what, you'll always be a member of it.

[my foolish heart]

Where to even begin here?! Everyone here just continues to blow me away with their support, their kindness, and their generosity. This has been such a difficult choice for me to make and you guys have stood behind me from the beginning, no questions asked. You've offered me love and words of encouragement and it is way more than I ever could have asked for. This thread, my stepping down thread, the thread for the open position, all proof of just that. And just the best showcase of how wonderful and special this board is. I'm going to have to bookmark this thread and pull it up whenever I need a pick me up. Not even kidding! I could go on for ages, but most of what I have to say I've already said, so I just want to give some thank yous to those that contributed to this wonderful thread!

Medi - You are one of my closest friends and I wouldn't trade our friendship for anything. We have so much in common and talking to you is just so easy. You are so special and have such a beautiful soul. Whenever I read your posts they just put a smile on my face - you have such a way with words. And as you said, we can always count on the other if we need anything at all. I know you are there for me no matter what and the other way around. What a truly special thing! I hope we are able to catch up somehow soon because I have so missed hearing what is new with you and how you are doing. I hope all is well! Love you bunches, sweets!

Di - How do I even put what I want to say into words?! I can't even thank this place enough for giving me the chance to meet you! I remember back in the day feeling so special if you commented on any of my measly fics, you the fic goddess! Hee. You are so special to me, you were such a force of support back then in my writing days and still are. I can tell you anything and know you have my back no matter what. That is quite a special thing to find in this fandom! You are just such a genuine and caring person and I feel so lucky to call you a friend. I know we have both been busy lately, but hopefully RL will calm down a bit and we can find some time to catch up. I've missed our chats!

Julie - Thank you so much for the kind words, sweets! It really is going to be so hard to not be a mod anymore. I have so loved my time here, but I also know it is the right time to step down and let someone else take a stab at it! Hopefully the board will stay the same great, positive place it has always been!

Caro - My lovely Caro! You were one of the first people I met here and I remember feeling so shy around you - feeling like you were such a big part of the board and I didn't know how to approach you! But you made me feel so welcome and quickly made it obvious that you were always there to help, no matter what the issue. I remember quite a few times that you've helped me out, in various situations! You are such a huge part of this board and in turn we became so close. You have always been one of my favorite naggers - and while I may not really write anymore - I won't ever forget our crazy smut filled convos with Vivi. Those were the days! We need to have another one of those really soon, for old times sake. There will definitely be more good times in the future and I'm looking forward to them!

Jo - You are too sweet! Saying that you hope the new mod is half the one I am, that just put the biggest smile on my face. And really, I have Krys to thank for a lot of that, so I think it's pretty safe to say that you guys should be good! It's going to be tough not seeing my name up there anymore, like you said, but in time we'll all get used to it. Hee, thanks so much hun and you will definitely see me in the future!

Shanna - Thank you so much for all the kind words hun, from the absolute beginning when I first made the announcement of my decision to step down. You have been nothing but supportive even though you have voiced your opinion quite often that you didn't want it to happen! I've so loved talking to you here on the board and I'm so glad that has branched out to other places, like AIM and LJ. You pretty much know all of my feelings at this point after our recent chats on AIM! It was fun reminiscing last night about the 200,000 thread again. One of the best nights I've had here, for sure! And you wrote me a poem! Like I told you yesterday, I feel so special to have one all to myself!

Sally - Oh my goodness, that art! So freaking gorgeous! Your talent never ceases to amaze me, I swear. And to have my farewell on such a pretty art, I feel so special! You are such a sweetheart and I have to say, I feel the same as you - I'm so lucky to have met you and to call you a friend! We definitely won't lose touch. I'll be stopping around here and hopefully catching up more with LJ in the future!

Kyla - You definitely have not seen the last of me! I will always be a part of this board and will be coming back to check on you all from time to time. And of course to squee over new and exciting news! You are so welcome and thank YOU for your kind words!

Catch - Aw, well as much as I'd like to take credit for the welcoming attitude here, it is due to all of our posters! I hope to see that tradition continue here and I'm counting on all of you! And I will definitely be stopping by the board. I can't completely leave you guys!

Heather - Thanks so much for your words! I will definitely be around in the future and hopefully we'll be able to get to know each other a bit better!

Ashley - Always such a sweetheart! I feel so blessed by all the messages here and it goes to show that the hard work and dedication I put in here was appreciated. That means so much to me. And I'm so glad we have been able to get to know each other outside of FF as well - hopefully that will continue in the future!

Rads - It will definitely take some getting used to, that is for sure! But I know deep down that it is for the best. And I will for sure be coming back around to post. I can't leave this place completely! And wowza, look at those hot JaSam animations! We have seriously been spoiled these past few weeks. I'm on a high! Hopefully we'll still be able to squee over their scenes here in the OT thread and on LJ as well. And you are too sweet - you know the same goes for you, if you ever want to talk, feel free to PM me anytime! I'm always up for a chat!

Ha - LOL you are too funny sweets. I've been warned! I definitely won't be a stranger around here, I can't even imagine that. I love this place and all of you guys too much! I mean I take a look at all of these posts and I just can't fathom not having you all in my life. A part of me would be missing for sure! I'm so glad that I've had the chance to get to know you, Ha. You are such a sweetheart and I've always loved squeeing about Scrubs with you. I see more of it in our future! We need to bring more Scrubs loving to the OT thread, I think! I'm sure it's been missing it. Hee.

Jess - You are so welcome and thank you so much for your lovely words! I'm so so glad that my love for the board and the posters here has come across, because that really means the world to me. And this definitely isn't goodbye! I will for sure see you around!

Krys - LOL I really do feel like we've said it all. We really have been through and done so much at this board and I wouldn't change any of it. You taught me so much and made me so comfortable in the co-mod position from the very beginning. And yes, it is so scary to think of not being a mod here and not seeing my name up there, but I'm excited too for the board. A new name up there, a new person to share their talents and ideas with you. It will be quite a change and hopefully a wonderful one! I'm positive it will be one though because I know with you as a co-mod, anyone that gets the position will do so well. You are so supportive and welcoming and easy to work with. The perfect person to mod with, that is for sure! This board is so damn lucky to have you. And I could go on and on, but really I would just be repeating so much I have already said. Like you said, this isn't good-bye for good! Not at all. I so look forward to squeeing with you in the future and keeping in touch. I couldn't imagine it any other way. I L-O-V-E YOU TOO! Thank you so so SO much for two and a half wonderful years as a co-mod, I wouldn't trade any of those memories for a thing. Not a single thing.

Thanks so much for the e-tissues, Lyn! And for always making me crave burritos whenever you bring them up.

Thanks, Steph, so much for those kind words. I will definitely be stopping by from time to time. I can't see it any other way! Like I always say, this place is my second home and therefore I can't stray too far away without missing it like crazy!!

Wowza, that is quite the novel right there. LOL. Thanks again so much, everyone!!

LOL I was creeping on here like usual and saw this and couldn't stop laughing. I've missed your poems slash denial of her real name sis

Melly Mel Mel I love you. You are one of the most amazing people I've had the chance to know. You don't realize how great of a person you really are. Most people on here only know this side of you but I am one of the lucky ones who came upon this board one day and ended up meeting one of my best friends. So thank you. Thank you for everything you've done for this board, for all of us. Because of you all of our lives have been made just a little better. And I'm only saying this because I know it will make you laugh, and even though it just sounds so weird to me now, but I love ya KYLIE!

[Schtroumphi]

Kylie, we don't know each other, you might even no who I am. But I have to say, I'll miss you around. You've been ther since I'm on FF and on this board it always has been, Kylie and Krys and I can not imagine this board without one of you girls.
I wish you all the best and we'll miss you

[missviolet]

I thought I had posted, clearly not. LOL The OP is immense, Ha you did an amazing job, thanks to you and Krys for getting it organized.

Kylie, thank for everything, this board wouldn't be what it is today without you.

[Blackened Sky]

Kylie, you will be missed

[Ms.]

So sweet of you to individually thank everyone, Kylie! You're welcome, it's the least I could do. You deserve all of the kind words from everyone.
