....for his hard work on this site. No, I'm not sucking up or trying to get anyone to like me, although I hope no one hates me for posting this.
See, when I first met Breaker, we didn't exactly get along that great, and we still don't, but during the 3 or so days I've been here, I've been reading the forums a lot and studying up on what different people have contributed because I'd like to know the place which I will hopefully be welcomed to and be able to call "home."
What I've found is that despite what others may think, Breaker is a great asset to this site. I noticed that he was a Senior Moderator and I read about what all they do in the New Members Forum, and I've learned that he has a lot of responsibilities and he's been doing a good job of keeping the troublemakers off the site.
I imagine there's a lot of stress involved, as I can see a Sr. Mod being expected to perform at an elite level, and maybe it just gets to him and puts him in a crabby mood. It's probably because he works too hard, and that's a good thing, though it might be wise for him to take a break every now and then.
The reason I say this is because luckily I'm a rather calm, forgiving, and understanding person, so I haven't been scared off by how Breaker has treated me, but I'm afraid that others would be, and that isn't good for the community.
Kryten told me that it's veterans who make AGN what it is, not newer members like myself. I tend to disagree because all veterans were once newbies like myself. He said I hadn't contributed anything, but what do you expect after being here only 3 days? I've made a few posts and made some friends, and I see that as a contribution, yes, a small one, but they add up.
In closing I'd like to honor all of the other staff members I've yet to meet (and hopefully I can meet and befriend them all) for the work they've done.
