I can't say enough good things about Cindy and what she has accomplished with this site. I've written for (and been paid for the writing) two other sites, but my time here as a Mod, Admin and contributor to the development of the site remains my fondest memory of my time in the AG community. Cindy has never bowed to the pressure of advertisers, unlike Ethan and Randy, and has managed to remain kind, considerate and unselfish through the pressures to become otherwise. She mostly pays for this site out of her own pocket, allowing her to not get sucked into other pockets. She is brilliant, creative and extremely talented, yet humble enough to ask for help when she needs it. And because of her kindness and humility, people rush in to help. Cindy has developed relationships with many of the BIG NAMES in adventure gaming, but doesn't flaunt the fact, which just draws them in closer.

Cindy is one of the nicest people I've ever cyber-met.

Congratulations on 10 years, my dear friend! I'm honored to have been a small part of it.

I remember starting up this board and not knowing what the hell I was doing. Fortunately I had BJ and Fairygdmther giving me lots of advice and we made it through. BJ started doing reviews to get some content up and I worked on saves and screenshots. Thank you, Bacardi Jim, for the kind words and fond memories. (and for lots of other things like voice over) :D

I can't count how many times the website was hacked. It happened enough that I had it down pat on how to restore it and could get it back up and running in an evening. All part of the ritual of owning a website.

There are so many "adventure game" people that we have crossed paths with sometimes it felt like a theater and we were watching the stars come out. The best part though, is all the Manorites who have come and gone and especially the ones that are still here after all this time. Makes it all worthwhile.

Angelfire said quite eloquently for me. Have not been here long since I think I joined in August of 2010, but long enough to appreciate its uniqueness from other game sites. Had not realized all this came into being and has been kept so by you GL through these years. What an accomplishment, so kudos to you and hoping all goes well for another 10! :cheers:

Of course on the supposition that we all are here after Dec. 2012 :santa: :geek:
And if we are not - do carry on in the beyond GL! :salut:
