Maybe it's the time of year (this is being posted near Christmas, after all), or maybe it's age (I am 43, after all) or maybe it's an excess of alcohol and nostalgia (this is being posted near Christmas and I am getting old after all)... But I think we need a topic where we can say THANK YOU to the users that have helped us on the GMC.
So, here is that thread! Has someone helped you out with a major issue? Has someone constantly popped up in your threads to give you that little nugget of wisdom that always manages to resolve your problem? Has someone been commenting on your WIP game and encouraged you to keep on working on it? Has someone posted an awesome tutorial that jump-started you on the path to GM enlightenment? Is there someone around here that you think is just plain cool?
If the answer to any of those questions is "yes" then please, take a moment to thank them here! You don't have to say much, just "@" them and say thank you! You can write a huge monologue about how much you appreciate them too, if you choose! I don't care as long as your posts follow these two simple rules:
Note, that just because someone has been thanked already in a post, doesn't mean you can't thank them again if their contribution has helped you!
That said, I guess I better get to thanking a few people to get the ball rolling! I'd like to thank:
So, go on, BE APPRECIATIVE!!!!!

You can write a huge monologue about how much you appreciate them too, if you choose! I don't care as long as your posts follow these two simple rules:
- Every post must thank someone even if it's replying to a post from someone thanking you.
- There must be NO negativity in any posts. Any post that has a negative comment or connotation will be removed, so no posts like "even though they can be really rude sometimes, XXX has really helped me..." or "XXX can be really annoying but their advice is awesome" etc...
Note, that just because someone has been thanked already in a post, doesn't mean you can't thank them again if their contribution has helped you!
That said, I guess I better get to thanking a few people to get the ball rolling! I'd like to thank:
- @TheouAegis , @FrostyCat , @RichHopefulComposer and @GMWolf for being so damned helpful around here! You people are what makes the GMC great!
- @chance, @Alice and @TsukaYuriko - for being some of the best mods this forum has had and working tirelessly to keep it a great community and make my own job easier.
- @YellowAfterlife - I would have included YAL in the above mention, but feel he deserves a little extra mention for all the work he does outside the GMC and he's provided me indirectly with a lot of help and inspiration.
- @xot - for being a true pillar of the GameMaker Community and not just on the GMC, and for creating GMLScripts.com, as without it I'd have been lost when I was learning to use GameMaker.
So, go on, BE APPRECIATIVE!!!!!
