I'd like to propose that we take a minute to tell Ves how much we appreciate her! As of late, she's really been working overtime on here for us and I'd like to extend a sincere thanks to her and staff 
I'm not sucking up and heaven knows, i don't need any favours on here! But i'd like to share my experience as a n00b in this place for the past couple of months or so. I'm hopping the big guy sees this post and commends her performance, in one form or another! I won't tag him, you know who you are 
J....
First and foremost, she treats EVERYONE like a VIP in here. It don't matter if you've been here for an hour or a year! I was blown away by her kindness upon joining! Ensuring that my experience was enjoyable and seamless! I mean, its so welcoming! It makes you want to create a Guild and stick around for the long haul!! Oh Wait! I've already done that!! 
She also actively participates in the Forum (beyond her admin duties). That in itself, is GOLD to me! Any Leader will tell you, "show them the way"! I had questions in regards to the forum workings today and as such, she replied to me in the middle of a meeting! To my complete astonishment, she actually replied to me in the form of a question: "How would you make it better?" -Who? Me? The N00B? 
Thats how she is. Attentive, caring and customer care driven! Yeah, i know, its a business, Akorns, blah blah blah....but that's really not what I'm talking about here! I guess what I'm trying to say is.. THANK YOU VES! You truly make this Forum special for us! 
This N00by's sold!
She's always making sure we have fun stuff to do and answering questions and palling around. I hope she has as much fun on the forums as we have with her making everything so special.
