MAAAANNNN, How do I ever begin to thank you for being such a wonderful floof? Just... What can I say? You sir, are absolutely amazing. Many of us would like to thank you so much for offering your time to help in all ways possible in and out of FeralHeart. You are one of the most thoughtful, comforting, hilarious, heartfelt, helpful and talented people I know. Your friendship means a great deal to me and many other people in this humongous community, and we feel extremely lucky to have you here.
A message from me
Your friendship means the stars to me and I couldn't ever ask for someone to ever take your place in my line of friends. You are the most sweetest friend a person could ever ask for, and you are always so kind and thoughtful. Thank you for always being there to enjoy good times and thank you for being there to support during the rough 'big bite in the butt' times. For taking the time to listen to me. You always have something kind or comforting to say to not only me, but to other people too, and all your advice has always steered me in the right direction. I am thankful and grateful to have such a pawsome friend like you.
Floofies, feel free to say your praise and lovely thoughts about this big pile of fluff and glorious mane!

I personally believe, Red deserves this kind of respect from every single member in this community!
Great choice of poem there, Memo. ^_,^
Red, you are like a father to us all in this constantly growing community of Feral floofs. At least, you're like a father-figure to me sometimes, with your wise words that never seem to run out. You're always willing to give advice to those that need it, and I respect you for that, sir. I also thank you very much for always giving advice when asked. I'm sure there are many others that would love to thank you as well, for the help you have given them. Whether it be computer related difficulties or just advice to take with them all their lives.
Your ability to be mature when needed but also be a silly floof at times as well, making me laugh when I sometimes see you skipping around the public maps ever since I first joined this big warm community. that kind of personality is worth treasuring in a friend. I do not know how much of a friend you consider me.. I completely understand that you're a human being as well and you like to choose your friends wisely. But in my eyes, Red, you are a friend to me.
So all in all, I thank you Red, for all that you have done for me and for all that you do for this community.
Big respect to you!

I'll never forget the joy I got when I looked back at some old screenshots from the first days of Feral Heart and found these:

Back then I used an account called Korugoha and ran around on a pretty derpy character. FH had just begun and was a whole new exciting experience for me. I met so many people on the first day alone and had so much fun... (regardless of all the server crashing) xD This screenshot was one of few that I took from one of my favorite days. It was taken at the Cape of Distant Worlds where I met some pretty funny and interesting people. I think I spent a good few hours just being silly with them and that was the experience that started my love for FH & its community. As time went on I met many new friends but I always wondered about those special folks I met at the Cape that day. I wanted to find them again and to see if they would remember me and if we could hang out the way we did back then once again. So one day I decided to look through these old screenies and what I saw amused and thrilled me.
A very special person was in them and that person is Red.
Having been on the staff team for over a year by the time I saw the screenshot again made me laugh. I couldn't believe that one of those memorable people I treasured so much was the person I was now working with in the very community I love. The person I sat with some years ago was the very admin I've come to admire and respect. For these reasons those two screenshots you see there are very special to me. Although I could never find any of the others pictured in those screenies I was lucky enough to still know one of them.
I'm grateful to have gotten to know you so much better Red. Many folks get the wrong idea about Red and end up losing out on a really wonderful person. Before I became a staff member I heard people talk poorly about the staff including Red often but I decided that I wouldn't let people judge him or any other person for me. I became more active on site and even saw him in game many times and never once did I see him do any of the cruel things some say about him. Even still til' this day that I've worked with him I've seen nothing but a devoted, friendly, hard working, trust worthy, funny, affectionate, and loyal man. Regardless of so much ups and downs within his life and this community Red is a man of integrity. There's nothing he wouldn't do for the best of those he loves and cares for. With this being said there are few others persons that I'm honored to work for and call friend than him.
There are many things left unsaid that Red has done and still does for this very community and so not just as a member of the staff team but also a friend and loyal user of Feral Heart I want to thank you Red for all that you are.
Thank you for being one of those people who have helped make FH a home away from home for me and so many others.
Thank you for keeping the game alive and thriving when it's creator walked off without as much as a goodbye to his loyal community.
Thank you for devoting hours of your life to make things work better for us but also fun.
Thank you for standing up for the community and picking up the pieces that others left behind.
Thank you for being strong even when some have gone out of their way to rub your good name through the dirt.
Thank you for being one heck of a Feral Heart admin.
but most of all...
Thank you for being a friend to us all whether some know it or not.

aaa There is so much things that Reddy did that I want to thank! ;u;
I thank him for keeping the community together and making it stay alive even though the game is barely updated. His activity in the community really seems like he cares about the game. Reddy's also an amazing, mature admin that has the willpower to keep the forum and game stable. He's such a great admin and an amazing friend to everyone in the FeralFeart community, this game is lucky to have him as one!!

Redly, I am so impressed and very happy that you have stayed in this community. Like...seriously. I know that I have grown out of this game once or twice, even left for a year, but every time that I come back you are right there, never leaving it seems like. HOW U DO EIT?! >w>
But AAaaaanyyWWWhhooo....I know that I had given you some hard times in the past, when I was a little nooble, and felt stupid for it when I look back on it now. I also love reading old posts in the news and updates from years ago and I had read one recently and it was just full of nothing but power and pushing forward, it was very awesome and inspiring. And it kills me when I sometimes wonder if you have any other chars besides Red XP It will always be a mystery 0w0 So yeah, you're pretty awesome Red, and I hope you keep on livin' an awesome filled life and keep settin' things straight in this game for as long as you can, because you are best! ^^

I enjoyed reading all of this!
Red you deserve every word fluffy, and honestly I just want to say you are the most amazing person I have ever met.
You are beyond strong, and show nothing, but love for this game. You do everything you can for us, and you just do everything you can to make every member on this game happy. I appreciate everything you do for us, and I wish I could give you nothing, but fluffy hugs to show you how much you are loved here.

I have something to say aswell, thank you red, for makeing this game and protecting it. That one day i saw you and said hi, you responded. I knew then that you were a great leader. Im sorry if my words aren't As touching as the other's, but im just a newbie. But yes, thank you for all of the wonderful things you've Given us. And thank you for makeing them better.

If I will be honest I did catch this thread earlier on the boards, I read through it all, I tried to take these things in that was written, and it hit close to home in such a way that I didn't even know how to respond to the things said. Many feelings at once, seeing all of these posts that speak so well for me, almost so it gets to a point where I don't know who I am or should be. But to see you lots jump in and say these things means a great deal to me, no matter if I know you more or less on a personal level. That what I do means something to you. It will be hard to get through a proper reply without sounding cheesy, but I just want to put it out and show why a simple thank you will not suffice, and not just reply to people that want to give me a pat on the shoulder, but also people that don't want to see me here.
Ever since this place, site and game took off I ended up making it my one and only purpose. I have been through graduation, I have been through lots of different moves, life happenings, several different jobs and even problems that when I look back on it now, really could've used more of my time and attention. I have declined what I'd consider opportunities and time to be here, here to just be a reliability, a reliability for staff, for the users, or even the game and community if it so calls for it. I have been through some communities in the past before our paws hit soil here, and I knew that if people expect something from me or my name in a position to do or say something, I wanted to make sure that I showed them that I am here to stay and do whatever I can to put an example for people to look up to(Or look down upon if that's your cup of tea). Many of us here know that beyond the pixels, beyond a site and forum or codes that make up a game with Felines and Canines we have something more. We have an escape, a second home or just great entertainment. Many of us hold a game like FeralHeart so close, and we would feel empty if it wasn't there. I feel a great responsibility for this game and it's players that follow, not just that I have a fancy title I can use for my benefit. I need to take actions for more than just myself to ensure that what we have and works, stays there and keep on working, even if it means doing something users will not understand or like at a certain point in time.
Knowing this responsibility and valuing the game so high is one of the reasons why it's hard to let go and just walk away, not knowing what would happen and knowing you weren't there to do something. I always wanted to be "there", and I took up more responsibilities than I probably should've, bit off more than I could chew. To this day a lot of people think I made this place or game, or that I am the one that can change the game in a flick of a finger, but it's far away from the truth, it's a product of me stepping forward in times of need so people had someone to to turn to or question when there was no one to be seen and a lot of question marks about this site and game lingering in the air. I wanted to answer or at the very least reply to it all, but I'm not certain it has had the best of impacts on the bigger scale in the longer run. I have been naive, thinking that I could change the "world", but in all honesty some days I feel like the world changed me. I'm getting older and worried that I will not be able to be here as much as I've used to, I'm worried that I will not be able to help the game in the ways it's needed and that it will just be another community to disappear off the map. I just want the best for the game, I want people to read this, I want them to understand this even if I am that annoying person that told you off for breaking "odd" game rules or that I lack coding expertise or artist skills. I choose management and a wide field of interest that keeps me sane and something that gets me up in the morning. I just want to be happy with what I do, and I know there's probably a lot more than me that knows it's not the easiest thing, to be happy with one self especially when there's a lot on stake, like peoples second home, like your name or even your future.
I am not perfect, and I'm no saint. But I just want to be something I can look back on and be proud of, if that happens to not be what others want in their admin I cannot say more than sorry, and that I just did what I thought was right and needed in order to keep things rolling. This is not my game, and just to make it clear, I never tried to make it so. I am just another administrator that has had the chance to make things lean a certain way. I take pride in my work and if no one would believe in what I do, and I wouldn't have gotten the great support from certain people over the years, even like the things mentioned in earlier posts in this very thread, you wouldn't see me here posting today. In the heat of the moment many people forget or push away why many of the staff really is here and the hard work and time that goes into a game like FeralHeart, that it is something that just will not take care of itself, and that we're human too. FeralHeart has been a golden opportunity for me to make a difference, to hone my English, to learn something new, understand people and climb mental mountains. I just want to be someone people will remember and will look up to really, even when my time here passes by. To be the little lion figure they'll remember when maybe they're running a community, moderating a site or game or just stand firm with something they believe in.
Thank you guys for all of this, it means more than you can imagine.
