Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group KA is a privately owned Site

very well said Manju.

Here! Here!

Thank you Mig and John and all the other admin!!!!

Without your support, we would not have been where we are today, not only as a forum but as informed group of people who know what's going on with their bodies and how they are wired.

Mig has always been the soothing, calming, re-assuring factor on this website. We need more people like Mig not only on this website but in our world and societies in general. Helps keep our sanity intact...

I wished I was Alan and was fortunate to have a friend like Mig around.... ;-)

Love you Mig and love you John....

We are a family, not just connected by symptoms or a common gene pool but connected by our hearts (and by world wide web ;-)

God Speed,

Ankush

Well said Ankush.
Although I draw the line at being Alan.

Hail to the Chief!!

Mig, you know how I feel about you and the work you and all the admins and moderators do behind the scenes. It takes a special kind of person to do that.

One of the reasons I have never signed on to become admin is that you are limited in what you can say. You have to be diplomatic and as you know, I much prefer being able to say what I really think.

Folks, there is a 'Donations' link on the main page of the forum. I didn't use it last year, but that doesn't mean I won't use it this year. We have +/- 200 members who post regularly. If each of us sent in $10, that would be $2,000 in the site's kitty.

Just a thought.

And John, thank you for stepping up to the plate. So many things go on of which we plebeians are completely unaware.

Warm hugs,

I'm a newby around here and I'm in and out of here almost daily; reading random threads (posting once in a while) and am unsure what prompted this thread initially. I am glad to have stumbled upon it though.

Mig, you have always represented yourself and Kick AS respectfully and professionally as far as I can see. You are integral to the smooth operation of this site. On top of that you are kind-hearted and supportive. You are informative and open minded and genuinely, nice.

This site, on a whole, has been supportive, informative, entertaining, enjoyable, fun, interesting, thought provoking and the odd post has irked me. But as others have noted, there is a family here, and, what family doesn't have the odd disagreement? As long as there is mutual respect, it's all good right?

That being said, I would like to send out my respect to all those admins/mods that donate their time and efforts to keeping this site up and running. You do a wonderful, selfless thing, and I am grateful.

Mig's post was important, regardless of what prompted it, because it may have reminded all of us of what it takes to keep this little haven of ours available to us. Things are tight for me monetarily right now; but I will try to remember to donate $$ when I can and I will certainly try to remember to tell Mig and the others that I appreciate them regularly!
(I'll leave the kissing to Alan.... )

Thank you Kick AS'ers! Really, thank you.

Kissing Mig........arghhhhhhhhhhh........that sounds like a threat....I'll give you whatever you want..........lol

You great clot, you!

Well Mig.

Thank you. I just wanted to get my 2 cents worth in too. And 2 cents doesn't go far these days. But I believe you are an honest, hard working, AS Sister. No jokes today.

Dean

mig, you are the best. Better than any admin or chief admin before you.

I say this with the greatest respect to Holly whom I chose to replace me - and on a personal note I'm sorry, Holly, for inviting you to take an unpaid job where the owner did not welcome you.

Warmest and best wishes to you both.

(Batten down the hatches mig, something plainly wrong is happening to our beloved KA).
