thank you
I am stunned and speechless and grateful. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all of your kind words and that you’ve gone out of your way to blog and post and email me. It makes me amazingly happy that the work we’ve done at webmaster central has helped your businesses and your sites. And I’m so glad that I’ve been able to help some of you with stuff I’ve written or spoken about or when I’ve talked to you. It’s been so wonderful to meet and talk with so many of you and I hope that continues! The next round will be on me. Seriously, you all rock.
Next up: more writing about Buffy and traveling and social networking and blogging and my damn phones and how it just can’t be easy anymore to hook up a TV. Also, I need to do more ranting about ordering stuff over the phone. I’ve now been trying to return that wall mount for the TV I didn’t buy for over a week.
Hey Vanessa,
In all honesty, you deserve it. Thank *you* for all the help and effort you’ve given to the community.
It’s actually quite courageous to leave a stable & comfortable place for the unknown (albeit exciting & surely lucrative). Perhaps it’s all a really dramatic (and REALLY expensive) piece of linkbait? Regardless, good luck returning the wall mount.
Hi Vane, I got news:
You rock too!
Thanks for all your time and dedication!

You still owe me a discussion on who’s sexier - evil spike or reformed spike. Also, (warning, I’m headed to spin-off territory) I want to know why Doyle was axed damn it. Let’s not get into them ruining the show eventually anyway. I know the actor had some issues, but didn’t he have enough freaking Roseanne money to get help?
Meanwhile, as I’m typing this comment, I’m looking at the picture of the beach underneath the comment box wondering how much it sucks to fall into it from a water taxi and hoping to god I never find out.
If many people thank you it surely means you did a great job. And whatever your plans are, you can always remember that webmaster central work was worth it, if not from the professional side, at least from the personal side (meaning people thanking you). But I’m 100% sure that it was worth from the professional side, too.
abhilash, I believe the wall mount has finally been successfully returned. Maybe. Blog post to come soon. And that would be quite drastic link bait indeed. We’ll see when the next PR numbers come out, huh.
Eduardo, it was my pleasure!
Rae, all the various Spikes incarnations are sexy. There is no choosing. Doyle was axed because Joss is Joss and he always gets his way. You will not fall out of the water taxi. And even if you do, I’m sure the water is very warm.
paul, it was definitely worth it both professionally and personally. I loved building up the tools and documentation for the community and I’m so glad to know I may have helped some people.
