Would you like to join me in thanking everyone who is keeping Fluther alive these days?

I’ll raise my glass (and glasses) to all!!

Hip! Hip! (Burp) Hooray!!

May Fluther last even longer than my marriage did.

Cheers to a great place!
Clearly us waddling Geese and Penguins are soldiering on. :-)
Maybe Fluther is for the birds. haha

Tipping my beer bottle to fluther!

And for the dogs too, apparently.

Thanks y’all you guys you folks everyone!

My heart is as full as my glass,
When I drink to you, Fluther!

Absoposatutely!!

Salut! ::clink::

Thanks guys.

Thank ye, one and all.

A Feast for Fluther!

HaHa! I’ve been on Fluther for longer than my marriage lasted, @janbb; but I committed to the man after 4 years, it took 6+ years before I married into Fluther – so we’ll see how long that aspect of my relationship to the Collective lasts.

I definitely am glad that Ben allows us to continue. I know a lot of our members found us after their Q&A sites closed, and they were bereft, and I’ve been on social sites that have closed and have experienced that upset at the loss of my online “home” – so it really means a lot to me that we still have Fluther, and I hope we can keep it going.

I am especially grateful to those who have been patient and supportive during this past year of transition. Auggie had already been working for a few months and her activity here had declined substantially, so that’s when they asked me to join the team and things were already a bit rocky. My training was trial by fire since she didn’t have a ton of time to train me and there was a large controversy brewing at the time. It’s definitely been choppy seas in the tide pool for the past year or so. I, and the other Mods, do appreciate the input of various Jellies, and we are glad that everyone cares so much about this place.

I have mad respect and appreciation for all the other Mods, who have taught me a lot and patiently answered all my questions. Once Auggie stepped down, we’ve had to figure out different ways to communicate and co-manage behind the scenes, since the team structure had changed. PhiNotPi gets a special thank you for tweaking things to help ease our Mod communications and Spam-Hammering activities, too!

Fluthering thanks to one and all!

Rock on.

Thanx and where the pancakes ? ?

A big thank you for your commitment to Fluther, it is much appreciated all the way down under.

Nice @longgone! That’s really the tension releasing party I’m talking about!

Thanks everyone here!

Thank you, founders, for creating such a pearl in the internet sea for me. I would have drown in Yahoo! Answer had it not been for you.

Thank you, mods, for your hard work to keep this site alive, even after Auggie left. You may receive some really nasty comments and be misunderstood, but you are patient enough to sort everything out.

And thank you, every ordinary user, for your help and support. I’m glad that most of you manage to tolerate my stupidity and forgive me when I apologize. I’m still a new and wild jelly, so I need proper education.

We are neighbors, we are a family. There can be conflicts, but we will all resolve them and move on. No one wants this house to collapse right?

I’m sorry I can’t do anything much for you mods, other than trying to obey the guidelines and flag spams.

And @hearkat, you says this isn’t a social site right? Then what the hell is this? ~

Nay to Fluther naysayers! I say YAY and HOORAY to the founders, the mods, and the jellies who participate and follow the simple rules.

And boo to the belaborers (a word I just made up). I am happy to wake up and find fluther still here. Thank you, mods.

Yay to the flounders and cods!

I think it’s time for me to purchase reading glasses. I don’t think that’s what @Pachy wrote.

^^^That’s just a fluke, but most of us are still floundering. Is your intent to send some jellies to swim with the fishes?

@jonsblond And let’s throw in a thank you to the Blonds – just for the halibut!

You jellies are really on a roll!

Given the amount amount of barbs being thrown lately, you might want to wear a cod-piece.

Wake up little sushi, wake up!

Tuna be or not tuna be… a Jelly. That is the question with only one answer.

Tuna be.

Plaice on earth and to all the soles on it.

In God Mod Cod we trust!

Eel be seeing you in all the old, familiar plaices.

We’re Turbo-punning now.

Holy mackerel! What a load of crappie.

…and she’s buying the sauté to heaven….

Oh wow

I guess some of us here are drunk ~

Hi all… congrats everyone.

A trout-out to all the happy jellies!

If only I haddock known to put on some damn reading glasses. Look what I started.

I especially want to thank the people whom argue with me, debate me, and tell me how wrong I was to have done something I mention in threads.
I mean seriously. I am pretty stubborn and often right. But being human and all I tend also to be wrong. And it is nice when it is pointed out to me as I actually do think about what is said to me. And it is also nice to see that there really are these other points of view from other real human beings which helps to explain why life is where it is presently at.
I mean thank god not everyone thinks like me (or looks like me). So life really is like some tapestry lost now in the ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Dark Matter which we are weaving with our very lives. And who would want a tapestry of this sort to be bland and only straight lines.
No, we make a vibrantly rich colorful tapestry with multiple designs and patterns that stretch from (well, here goes) Here to Eternity.
Yes, I said it. so sue me bruddahs and sistahs (sistahs is generally included in bruddahs, by the way).

Big thanks to me, a lot of pressure when it was incumbent on me to act, but I eat pressure for breakfast.

I’m guessing that @jonsblond had a typo, and meant to thank the founders and clods, rather than the flounders and cods.

As one of the latter of the former group, I accept those thanks.

Whale, I must get back to work now.

Give the big hook to those who carp! From my little perch, I give a gar-gantuan salute to the mods. No finer gruper people can be found. I knew a winner when I smelt one, and those mods are super-duper whipper-snappers!

@picante Thanks for all the fish!

Ya know, we could scale back the puns a bit.

I think I’m about fin-ished for now.

Guess this goose is cooked.

@Coloma We’re punning on fish themes right now.

(This is Yidish, btw) Salmon y’all!

@Dutchess_III Did you mean Salmon aleichem?

@janbb Shad up! ;-)

Just roe-ll with it, @Coloma.

@Coloma Now that sounded a bit fishy!

Carp-e fluther, floundering here. haha

You’re usually a “ray” of sunshine, @Coloma, but you’ve gone roe-gue on us. We’ll sea how it terns out (can I bring some sea birds into the punch?).

Oh get trout of here @picante LOL

Stop and Smelt the roses everyone.

Enough already!

Sorry, I’m not herring you !

Y’all are the funniest grouper people ever.

Halibut we stop being so sharky now.

Well, this thread did it…I’m not feeling grateful anymore. Good work, jellies! ~

This thread Nemo puns.

Fin, then?

Whale blow me down.

You’ve cod to be kidding me…

I’ll have to tuna this thread out.

Look, just for the halibut, if there was a man in atee, swimming along — would we invite him to join Fluther?

This thread is porpoiseless and without moorings.

Holy mackerel, I nearly fell off my perch when I opened this tread back up!
Even @gailcalled is here!

Not furlong.

I’m lurking. I have a bad memory so I don’t know who is who.

We betta watch the off topic stuff or we’re going to get codded and that would be crappie.

@gailcalled. . . I can’t fathom the thought of you not being here. I think I’d be a little crabby if you left.

I just hope no one starts trolling in this thread.

Better get drunk a bit :)

@Coloma Don’t worrie. The mods know we’re drunk and happie.

We’ll team up and put a little mussel to them, @CWOTUS.

Clam up now.

Don’t barge in here looking to get slugged, @CWOTUS.

I’m ready to fight bar nacles since I’m not lichen you very much.

Prevent online phishing

At this point, we’re just being shellfish, but at least we’ve all wiped that octopus off our faces.

Let mi-nnow when you jokers stop taking the bait. Someone drop me a line.

Hooked on a reeling, high on the eeling.

Catchy! We’ve netted some great aqua-sitions in this thread.

Where’s @longgone now?

^ Long Gone?

^ I wish.

Fin!!

Mods, I demand this thread to be archived. Also, I am hereby taking back everything nice I ever said about our “smart” collective… ~

Are you squidding me? We are smart!

Sardine-ic humor, Aaaa-balone.

@longgone And I suggest that if this thread is to be “archived”, it should be “framed” and “put” somewhere so that all the mods can see, like a happy photo or a certificate ~

If this thread is finally being reeled in might as well go and have a little kip-per.

Whale, I do not know all halibut but maybe we need to clam up.

What a starkist thread this has turned out to be, no shrimping on the levity.

Cakes for the party that’s going on here.

thanks for the reminder @ibstubro :)

I want more of those @jonsblond ! !

Litthe Debbie Fishcakes?

^^^^ Hahahaha….disgusting!

The Little Debbie cakes are adorable. I think Debbie is a friend of Ben and made them to commemorate the birth of the child.

It’s all about us, us, us!!

—I prefer the Little Debbie Cloud Cakes over the actual Twinkies.
