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.

A Personal Thanks
