Your kindness. That's what makes the board so much fun to talk to you
and you are easy to get along with all of us. You are so kind and sweet and
so open to talk to any of us, which is why the board is in good hands and
you make everything so easy.

Loving. You are always so loving and welcoming. You are easy to talk to.

You're creative. You are so good at making things, like furniture and even icons
during the challenge, you might not think so about the icons thing but you are
really good with coming up with good things. You are really creative and I always
admire that. I wish to have that so I can save a lot of bucks doing my own making
for my home, life would be easy right? Your pictures are always pretty and creative.

Happy Birthday, Effie! I hope Liam does something good on
your special day because you truly deserve it. Enjoy your kickass birthday!

Effie is truly the most creative person I've ever (not) met.
She'll deny it and be all cool about it but she's so talented and thinks
all the things she does through to the detail and it's amazing to just
sit back and see a work in process turn into something stunning.

She's not afraid to stand up for her opinion. If you are being
a child or being dramatic, she will tell you. You might not realize it, because
she'll still be freaking diplomatic about it but she'll feel good because she
knows that she told you the truth and I truly appreciate such honesty.

Effie is amazing cause she gets me, in all honesty that's probably my
favourite part about her. I don't have to be afraid that a joke or a bit of sarcasm
would be misunderstood cause Effie will always understand me and she makes
me feel like I'm allowed to be more open with my opinion and personality.

Stephanie, you are my favourite. I can't even tell you what you
are my favourite of, cause you're my favourite everything. I still
remember when we each got our first moderator appointment in
the same week, and how we'd keep running into each other even
when we didn't have that many fandoms in common. You've always
been such a great support for me, and I'm glad I have you by my
side. Moderating the One Direction board with you and Era is such
a pleasure and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I hope you have
the bestest of birthdays because you deserve that so very much.

‘Lederhosen‘, ‘Bauchnabelpiercing‘ and ‘Toffifee‘, I share so
many fantastic memories with you! I wished we would get
the chance to add some more at some point in the future.

You pretty, pretty woman. *bawls*

What you do for other people online and offline is absolutely admirable
and if anyone could do just a bit of that I would be very happy.

Happy Birthday my gorgeous, Effie and Mel! I want to
wish you the best and only the best for this special
birthday week! All the joy, happiness, laughter and luck
that you two deserve! Taking the time on your birthdays
to tell you how awesome the things you do for Fanforum are.
You ‘are the bestest’!

She's Effie! And she's awesome and she helped Mel with the convincing!

We already worked together on MMs but I feel like this crazy band has
made us even better friends.

I love that she secretly loves when I tag her in Liam reblogs!

Happy Birthday to some pretty amazing people!
I hope you both have amazing birthdays!! Thank
you for be awesome friends! I hope all your
birthday wishes come true!

First of all her level of talent is outstanding. Although she never
admits this, she is incredibly talented. She's so creative and
makes everything sound so easy that almost makes me want to try do
something too (but of course not with the same result).

I love how she is always out there, not afraid of saying her
opinion and standing by it. Always so mature and with the
greatest sense of humor at the same time.

She's always very sweet and supportive. I have
known her for a year now and it is always such pleasure
talking to her. And...can I just add that she has a very cute cat too?

Happy Birthday my dear friends! I'm glad I've got
to 'meet' you. Everyday is so much fun and lovely
to come here and posting with both of you. And now
this new experience of moderating the board with
you has been such a pleasure. I wish you the very
'bestest' in this special day and all the days after
that! Enjoy every moment!

Effie is like the mommy of this board (which goes really well
with Liam's daddy title, but who am I to imply anything). She's
very responsible, she knows all about the rules and she's always
ready to help out anyone. She gives very good advice and she
also keeps an eye on all of us, in the best way possible.

She's one of the nicest people ever. She might try to play it
cool and all (and she is quite cool, she got Grimmy's waking
up song twice), but deep down, and once you really get to
know her, she's truly a sweetheart. <3

Effie is really creative (even though she tries to brush it off -
stop hiding your talent from us!) and if she was a youtuber,
she would have one of those DIY cute accounts with some
adorable cat videos in between. So I guess it's really just a
matter of time before she goes all famous on us.

Effie, I hope you have the most amazing day,
full of kittens, cookies and rainbows and
everything you deserve (which is all of this
and more). You stay exactly the way you are
because you are purrrfect. I love you and
one of these days I'm gonna give you a koala hug. ♥

I super love how opinionated she is! she isn't apologetic or sorry
for the opinions that she has and it's amazing to see. but she doesn't steamroll
over anyone to express them, watching her express her opinions is like watching
a darn masterclass on it.

I also love how sweet she is. she is one of the sweetest and easiest people to
talk to. i always love talking to her because she's a great listener and easy to talk to.

Finally, i love how great of a person she is to work with and to post with. i wouldn't.
she cares a lot about the board and FF and it's easy to see when working/posting
with her and it's absolutely incredible.

Happy Birthday Effie! I hope you have the most amazing day!
filled with tons of kitten cuddles and maybe even some new liam
pictures if you could handle it! You deserve all of that more!
love you and i hope you have the best day!

Your kindness. Your kindness is what makes the board so much easier
and very welcoming. You always make sure we all feel so included and part of it.
I mean we have known each other since glee fandom and have talked outside of
1D board and I never once got to see bad side of you and I am so glad that we
are friends because it's so much fun to talk to you and I always enjoy doing that.

Your talent. How do we go on without your beautiful talent? It would not be
fun having nothing if it wasn't for your talent. Your arts make everything so prettier
and it's so easy for me to find perfect combos with so many options.
Please continue to make more of prettiness.

Optimistic. Every time we have news or fandom freaks out, you always
remain so rational and calm and being optimistic which makes it easier because
it keeps us sane. I notice most of threads when people freak out or take the little
things to extreme (especially tumblr), you just make it simple and keep it being
positive and so calm.

Happy Birthday, Mel! I would say that I hope Louis would do something
on your day but I would spare you some pain, lol. I hope you have a
kickass fantastic birthday because you truly deserve it. Enjoy!

I absolutely fooking love Mel's sass level,
seriously Louis would be SO fookin' proud
it's insane. She can out sass anyone.

Is it wrong to mention her evil level? Because it's intense.
She makes me up my evil level and together we make a damn
good evil pairing. It's awesome.

And all that is to say, Mel is the sweetest. I love that. She is kind,
she does want everyone included as long as you're kind to her friends,
she'll love you

Mellll, she's the Louis to my Liam and the fact that that
is a thing tells you a lot about Mel. I was not a One Direction
fan, I wasn't at all but she harassed me into it. And, don't tell
her but, I am quite happy that I am here now. It's pretty special
this place because Mel makes it like that. I've "known" Mel since
I first joined FF (Skate OTP ftw!) and we've posted on lots of boards
together over the years. But, last year she began harassing me
for some reason and that evolved into this awesome love of 1D and
this team being formed. I love you Mel! Thanks for being there
and for giving me this.

You and your amazing One Direction Icons might kill me
one day. I can’t help it, they are always so precious.

Your one of a kind spirit and the love for One Direction
and especially Louis is breath taking.

You are a crazy lunatic, which makes posting with
you so much fun!

Happy Birthday my gorgeous, Effie and Mel! I want to
wish you the best and only the best for this special
birthday week! All the joy, happiness, laughter and luck
that you two deserve! Taking the time on your birthdays
to tell you how awesome the things you do for Fanforum are.
You ‘are the bestest’!

She's an amazing graphic artist. Her icons and arts and OPs are just...
there's no words.

She's become such a great friend! Life was boring before her.

She's responsible for this new fandom in my life and I don't regret it.
She made me realize that the boyband weren't really boys anymore.
And that you can be any age to like One Direction.

Happy Birthday to some pretty amazing people!
I hope you both have amazing birthdays!! Thank
you for be awesome friends! I hope all your
birthday wishes come true!

One of my favorite is her level of sass. I don't think I need
to add more to that. We all know she is the best at it (after all
she's learned from the master).

She's so very talented. She always comes with new ideas
and makes them look amazing. If anyone doesn't believe me,
they just need to have a look at all our icons or our OPs as an example.

She's sweet and welcoming. I remember coming back to FF after
being away for a few years and not knowing anyone here anymore.
Mel made posting once again nice and fun..and here I am still.

Happy Birthday my dear friends! I'm glad I've got
to 'meet' you. Everyday is so much fun and lovely
to come here and posting with both of you. And now
this new experience of moderating the board with

How can anyone talk about Mel and not mention her insane talent?
Not only she's a photoshop goddess, but she's also really creative and
she's always trying out new styles for her arts and icons. Her OPs are
always stunning as well (*looks over this one to prove a point*). I
have a big ass folder with over 2000 Mel icons saved and I regret nothing.

Mel has that fantastic leadership quality about her; she's very good
at guiding people, she's fiercely loyal and very protective of her friends,
in the most sassy and beautiful way possible, hehe. I always feel very
lucky to have her as a friend. <3

She has an amazing taste and she makes very good recommendations!
Thank you for all of the tv shows, books and fan fictions recs... And
okay, those masterposts about a certain boyband were quite helpful too.
Just follow everything she says, and you won't regret it.

Meeel, I hope you have a beautiful and amazing day,
as bright and as fun as you and your fave. I think if
Louis ever met you, he would resent you for being taller
than him, but then he would get on his tip toes and
just love you a lot. Kinda like I do. ♥

A reason i love mel is because of her insane passion. when she's
passionate about something she goes all out and also makes sure
that brings down anyone else in her path, i mean i yell at her every
single day for getting me into this thing.. but that's also what
makes her amazing.

Also, she is one of the sassiest people i've ever talked to. i know
for a fact that i can always count on her when i need a laugh.
shes just always there with some sassy AF comment that is
bound to put a smile on anyone's face.

The final and most important reason why i love mel....is because
she is always one to expand my fic horizons
and she does it in such a loving way where she explains
everything and i truly don't know where i'd be without her.

Happy Birthday to the person who i share
a brain with! you're a great person to just
like sit and kind of like just admire what
you're like. this was literally the most painful
thing to do, only because you know how i
much love you and trying to write it down was
super fooking hard okay and half of this
probably doesn't even make sense. but
anyway, i just hope that you have the bestest
day that you could possibly have, you
deserve it all bb. love you.
