Aes Sedai
So, Mother's been talking in chat about how many people are working their asses off to make this possible. These boards weren't supposed to be released for another week, but since the old boards crashed, they're working their asses off to get things up as soon as possible for members.
Now, something that's always amazed me is the fact that everyone who does anything on this site, whether they're a behind-the-scenes tech person, a forum moderator, a HoA or CC, an administrator, anyone - they work for free. They do this on TOP of doing their regular jobs. Everyone that does something to make this site as spectacular as it is does so because they want to, and because they're volunteering their skills to make this awesome.
Now, Mother made a short list of people to be thanked. I think that everyone who did anything to help with the creation of these forums needs to be thanked. So I'm going to go ahead and post about the people Mother talked about.

Now, these people have kicked ASS. Again, they've sacrificed their time and are staying up hella late tonight to get this online for everyone. So I think they deserve a crapload of respect and a crapload of applause. A lot of times people go unthanked because what they do is behind the scenes and we just don't see them doing a whole lot, but I don't want to let that happen with this. These new boards are something that has been in the works for more than TWO YEARS. Two years of blood and sweat has gone into this, and just so much hard work.
So what I want from you guys is to give them that. Give them that applause and respect and thank them. They so deserve it. And for the people on the list? I want you guys to post about what you did! I mean, I honestly don't know the extent of what you've done, so I'm not even going to try and describe it. But I'd like you all to so we can know. <3
I know there are some other people who've helped with this stuff, and I'm sure Mother will post with some more names.
