As a bit though
1 @[email protected] and all of the regular contributors to the news megathread for making it into an international hub of information exchange and learning. Never did I ever think that the current iteration we see today would've stemmed from the first war Containment thread during those confusing and anxious days. Additionally i want to show my appreciation towards @[email protected], and @[email protected], for being positive figures of hexbear in both their work, posting, and presence. You both, alongside all the many other people here, make the site a pleasant and enjoyable island in the morass that is the general internet.
2 @[email protected] has come so far in the past year I'm more than confident that if we ever met IRL he would radiate Stalinium.
3 the mods of the fake news comm. For the few times you've gotten me, you suck.
. I also want to shout out retired poster @[email protected] for leading his own daily one-man crusade across hexbear and the wider federal network. You are gone but not forgotten.
4 the only person that consistently comes to mind for me is @[email protected], for consistently participating in the news mega and assisting in giving us English speakers a glimpse into the Arabic world in a manner only a native speaker can. This of course extends to all our other multi-lingual friends and comrades here who take their ernest time to help us learn more about the world beyond our screens.

That's very sweet of you, though I would never in a million years compare myself to our bank-robbing uncle [or his metal deposits, as the case may be].
Of course, I agree with all your other comments, though I don't remember who Aru is unless they were the one who made the Arabic lesson posts (which I thought were cool the couple of times I read them).
Ah Aru is Rania Rudhan, I don't know how lemmygrad let's you have different screen names to account names but it's neat for letting people choose names other than what isn't already taken up in the book of names
I think Aru has a hexbear account now
