I don't think I ever got the chance to personally thank each and every member
that were once part of the message board. I know that it's rather late
in the game but seeing that this whole memorial website was a pretty recent
idea of mine, I thought I'd create a page especially for that reason; a page
thanking the members for their loyalty, their time, posting their thoughts,
posting their creations (fan fics or fan art), and giving their ideas and
opinions of the show and website. Without you, the message board
never would've lasted as long as it did. In fact, I even still have a
handful of members around from the old Proboards AGU forum (now at my
Animatoons forum)! Even if you are no longer interested in "All Grown
Up," you played an important part in the creation of this site. And for
that, I'll always be thankful.
You know, things didn't always go smoothly at the message
board. I know there were people that questioned my decision making and
how I handled certain situations. It was never my intention to hurt
anyone there. I always wanted people to have a good time and not be
distracted by hurtful comments by other members. There were certain
times when I didn't step in when things started getting out of control -
thinking that things may just work out for themselves. My hope was
establishing a carefree, well-behaved, and fun community where people could
come and discuss various aspects of the show. I never wanted to take
sides, particularly when a disagreement involved two friends on the board.
In the end, I probably should've taken someone's side, even if it meant
hurting the other. That is what became so difficult as being the main
admin of the message board. No matter what I did, I still ended up
hurting people. I am truly sorry to those that felt I did them harm on
the board. As I said, it was never my intention.
But I do not dwell on the negativity that occurred on the site, because it did
not occur constantly. We had some incredibly fun times, especially at
the various board functions that took place. I met a lot of great people
from throughout the world and it's an experience I'll never forget. Some
of those people I am still in touch with. So before I end this, once
again, thanks for everything. And please feel free to stop by Animatoons!
Many friendly faces are still around.
