@Hello,
Apparently my mod access hasn’t been remover, despite my formal resignation. Hardly a surprise, and further proof that it takes a stallion’s horn to maintain order in the chaos that the site has become.
What possibly could I say, but thank you. Thank you for your heartfelt words and actions that help me, my family, my home city, not to mention Equestria itself. Putting aside that the Elements of Harmony are Nightlings, everyone else (from dragons, griffins, to diamond dogs) helped with everything they could, sparing no time or expense.
In light of that I have decided not to be harsh regarding anyone’s actions on the site today, or during the time of my absence. However, I would greatly appreciate if starting tomorrow you start being more rule abiding.
Also, on a personal note, please be nice to your curators. I understand fully well how frustrating it could be to have your story returned for addition changes and corrections, but keep in mind how much time curators spend reading through stories. They have earned your Thanks not your scorn.
Finally I’d just like to add that it’s good to be back. I have missed you all!
The TechNightling
You tell em, Tech! I’ve always said that it’s us stallions who run the site! :P
So glad to have you back, buddy. Are you in Manehattan or still in Trottingham?
MightyDragon
Manehattan. I’ve been here for a few days, spending most of the time with my son and Candle. As a matter of fact we’ll be spending the evening with Jade and MixaMax. Now that the days of horror are over, Jade is will be relieved of duty and return to civilian life.
The TechNightling
Will you look at that!
@The TechNightling! I’m so glad you’re fine you old tyrant! I missed you keeping things under control. This place is a madbarn without you! I’m scared to even read some of the posts! (Just kidding, I’m not. I just know that you’d never allow them :))
I’ll leave you a few weeks to get used to what’s what, then expect you to return to your usual strict self :)
LyraHands
@The TechNightling: hey, we Wonderbolts helped too, you know! :) I’m with you on the part that stallions should rule the site. Things would be so much less chaotic!
Good for Jade. I’m hoping I get a few days off, so Brush and I could actually marry and have our honeymoon somewhere!
Oh and, a small spoiler (cap will bring my wings for this, but I don’t care!) There’ll be a full week of sunshine and rainbows, so be sure to enjoy it! First rainbow will be tonight over Manehattan (you have AwesomePony to thank for that).
Nightlings forever!
CEOWitch
@CEOWitch: she’ll really pluck your feathers, you know ;)
@The TechNightling: glad to have you back! *hugs* Max was getting out of control! Now that you’re here, though I fear to think what DarkSparkle would do. Her Centaur mania has reached new heights... I’m expecting her to write a fix-fic with all the grand9 being centaurs.
Brush
@Brush: you know that won’t work. There’s no fun in having centaurs without humans.
Nice to see you again, Tech. Simile told me some heartwarming stories about what you two did in Trottingham. Then again, she was drunk, so I’m not sure whether to believe her (or take it you did all the actual work).
LightSparkle
O!M!G! Run for the hills! He’s back with a vengeance and about to plunge the site back to the dark ages when handholding was considered inappropriate! :P
RRBB
RRBB might say what she wants, but she missed you a lot, Tech :) I’ve enough PMs to prove it :)
And yes, I think we could use your help to reorganize the site’s structure. Hop and Code have been keeping up the code (MightyDragon is solely reserved for aether-encryption) but actual site structures have been left to... well... umm... we really need you! O:)
LyraHands
Yay! Tech is back! <3 I hope this marks a return of more Nightlings! I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but the last few weeks had lots of Nightlings fall inactive or outright quit. I’d be sad if that happened. I’ve found so many new friends thanks to this site and hope to stay in touch!
Edit: sorry. I had a bit too much to drink and it made me kinda sad. I’m so happy you’re back, Tech! <3
SweetStuff
@SweetStuff: Won’t your sis be glad when she reads this?
RRBB
*gasp* What’s this?! RRBB acting mature? Who are you and what have you done to our RRBB?!! :P
@The TechNightling: I’ll be going to Manehattan later this week to see my brother. We can pass by to see you if that’s okay?
PaintDrop
@PaintDrop: Ha, ha. I have responsibilities now! I’m the head of a booming startup (soon to be hiring), have a family to think of, not to mention I need to keep an eye on all you aspiring young writers and artists! Of course I’ll be concerned about the state of a potential partner!
RRBB
Everypony is welcome to send a PM, but I warn you I will not have the time or desire to meet with everyone of you. Sadly, I’d prefer only to be close friends and family. (That’s a yes, PaintDrop. Just drop a line before you get here.)
@SweetStuff: time will tell, but I’m optimistic. Ponies need some a source of cheer after what happened and EqF is a place that provides just that.
The TechNightling
I wonder what would Danny do if he were in our place? Write a fic? Maybe. Organize a contest? Already done. Set up a dreamreading? Nah!
What Danny would really do is to organize an assault on the feline corporation and rob the, of every artifact they have before setting off to find the remaining evergems and...
Too soon?
EverSpike
Never too soon for you, EverSpike :) When you get a chance tell HoofTies I’m thankful to her. If there’s ever anything I could you help with, let me know, alright?
The TechNightling
... now kiss!
MightyDragon
Banned!
LyraHands
@MightyDragon: I approve!
Brush
Locked!
