I've tried a haiku, a sonnet and a limerick in honour of aome and silverbookworm, who have retired from FA's staff, effective this week, as a way to sing their praises for the incredible jobs both have done in helping FA grow, thrive and serve the fandom, but in the face of their contribution to the site, and to this fandom, I'm just at a loss for words.

Love you both. Will miss working with you, to the depths of my heart.

No one who hasn't *seen* the amount of work Plu has done at FA would believe it. So let this be a standing ovation from this user turned coder turned user.

The tag for Plu is wrong, sweetie, and I'm silverbookworm.

Much love to you -- I'm proud to have been a part of FA for three and a half years, and I'll still be around, playing with other parkies! Not much has changed, we'll still talk -- will ring you come November, and some Tim Tams will be on their way to you.

I was wondering who the other person retiring from duty was. :) Thanks to you, too! *schnoogles*

Fixed. That's what I get for posting at 430 AM - with Plu's, I forgot to hit the alt key so the = was a p, sigh.

LOVE YOU MISS YOU.

♥ I'm still around! And that icon is wrong, yet hilarious...

I cried last night. I wouldn't have retired if I had more time, but two little kids is killing me and I don't have your resources (HOW you manage is still astonishing). Thank you for making it such a great place to work ... and play. I lasted 6 months at my previous mod-job and nearly 4 years with you. That should say something about how I felt about it all. You are a friend, and you're great to work with. *schnoogles*

You will still be playing, right? *wibbles* The amount of work that you did never ceased to amaze me.

I just posted to my own LJ. Yep, I'll still be here. :) I just can't muck around in the CP anymore. ;)

However will you cope? :D You've been part of the woodwork ever since I've been in fandom and now it's all change. Oh well. Enjoy your 'retirement' :)
