And, NO, I am *not* 'sucking up', thank you! :razz:

Seriously, I thought we could have a 'Paul appreciation thread' cause this guy works really hard to make this place awesome. :grin: Give him a pat on the back, tell him why you like his forum, or just say thanks . . . hope I'm not the only one! :eek: :razz: :D

I really appreciate Paul because it seems like I always have questions for him, so I'm sure he signs online, looks at his inbox, sees it's flooded with messages...mostly from me! :eek: :oops: hahaha I appreciate his infinite patience, fairness, and thoughtfulness. Oftentimes, you can have a admin. who either turns a 'blind eye' or enforces certain rules with certain people...neither is good! :x

Paul, thankfully, doesn't do that! He works hard, yet isn't a slave to this place. He's picked (I'm *excluding* myself from this next statement, as it'd be egomanical for me to include myself! :o :lol: ) mods who understand what he wants to have happen (and not have happen) here and they work hard to make that a reality. Most of all, luckily enough, the people who are members here are great, and they set a great precedent and example for all the new members joining. :D But it started with Paul! :grin:

Do share in the 'Paul appreciation', and no, I am *not* obsessed...I have a boyfriend, thank you :razz: , just thought he could use some 'thanks' for all his hard work...someone else post besides me, please!! :D


~ Lizzy :jump:

P.S.--Can someone make this a sticky thread? For some reason, in this section (though I don't mod the New Members section, and I could there! :-? :o haha), I can't do that! Thanks!!

Go Paul! *throws up a banner that says 'YAY PAUL!!'

I wish we still had the color option . . . *sigh*

Seriously though, I also appreciate all the work you put into this forum, and dealing with strange people like us . . . er me, ;). Anyways, this is one of, if not the most, wonderful forums on the net that I have come across. Thanks, Paul!!

I've only been here for about a week, but I've already felt that warmth and friendliness of this board. There are intelligent discussions, stimulating debates, wacky threads, and very fun people around, all of which couldn't come to pass without a wonderful admin here at the helm.

And though I don't really know Paul yet, I found him a patient, friendly guy who genuinely takes an interest in the board and its members. He's also a very hands-on admin, and that has added on to the general good feeling I have of this board already.

So, Paul you've been a fantastic admin, and probably a very good friend here, and deserve all the praise you've gotten and are going to get here both in this thread and in other places. :grin:

p.s Don't blush too much! ^_~

Woohoo! Thanks so much for such a great place, Paul!

Like Lizzy said, I've been at far too many forums where the Admins don't care or have their elite group of 'favourites' whom they treat better than the rest. I really appreciate the fact that you've created such a lovely site for us and that you're always willing to help out with our trivial problems! I haven't been here that long, but once I came, I was instantly attracted by the community atmosphere and the fact that I immediately felt part of things! Once again, thanks, Paul! :D

Yes, definitely blushing here - so much that I ended up posting a reply to this thread as a brand new post (instead of a "reply") here: http://www.broomsticksandowls.com/forum ... php?t=1362

Where's that oops smilie...aha ---> :oops: (looks like he's blushing too!) :) :D :-) :grin:

Actually it fits well as a new post - my heartfelt thanks to everyone here for making BaO the place it is. :)

Would one of the mods for this forum please make this thread 'sticky'? :D Thanks! :grin:

This remains a fabulous forum in great part due to Paul. He takes members' suggestions seriously, puts faith in his mods and backs them up, and while fair, firm, and consistent, he is also thoughtful, patient, and intolerant of nastiness on the forum. :-) Thank you, Paul, for all you do! :grin: This forum rocks...as do all the people who comprise it! :angel:

Sorry to double-post, but I just wanted to say, "Enjoy the new book (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix), Paul! :grin: " Can you believe that? :o Poor Paul hasn't had the opportunity to read book 5 yet!! :eek: By all means, Paul, enjoy it, have fun, and look forward to seeing your posts on it in the book 5 areas soon! :D

Since I began reading the books some time ago, I have flitted from one HP forum to another looking for a home.

Paul, I have found my home, and it's a real nice place you have here.

Yes, I am sucking up :P
