...And the guilt comes crashing down... ambu's challenge
Took some time off to rest... felt guilty as hell when Ryuke commented on the backlog that was the Exchange reports... so jumped back into those, did reports until I couldn't type anymore, played WoW, then went to sleep late. Past couple of days, my sleep gets later and later, and I actually slept until 1:30pm today.

No matter how much I sleep, I don't feel rested. I should probably take that as a sign.

Thank you for everyone's concern; I'm mostly okay now, though recent family drama's made Gaia and WoW my only refuges left.

In the midst of the angst and depressing thoughts, some very kind users made me some amazing art, though I really don't know how to express my gratitude very well...

Also, as some of you may have noticed, this one is currently gracing the top of my journal. ^_^

One word says it all; Awwwwwwww!!!!!!!



ambu
User Image
Hehheheheheheehh... though I normally prefer a mod stick, a mallet will do. twisted

Speaking of ambu though...



ambu's challenge
So talking to ambu earlier tonight, she made the following comment:

Quote:
ambu: i was just thinking about it after having read your journal...we're on one of if not THE largest forums in the world, and you are still one of the most loved mods we have, that says a lot :]


Fought back by saying that even though I may be known in the Exchange, no one considers me in that light. Besides, I've only been a mod for... what, 7 months or so? So here's the rest of the conversation.

Quote:
Aquafire: Who said that?
ambu: lol, i did
Aquafire: XP
Aquafire: I'm not that well-known outside of the Exchange
ambu: maybe not as well known...but gaia kinda centers around exchanging items, thus making it a very important place XP
Aquafire: XP~
ambu: just thought i would remind you XP ya know, cause i can cool
Aquafire: Heh; unless 50 users decided to storm my journal one day and post that, I'll take that with a grain of salt. ^^;;
ambu: >D
ambu: i'll take that as a personal challenge wink
Aquafire: You're on. Let me make a separate journal entry just for this little challenge of yours and we'll see.
ambu: ^O^ alrighty then


So ambu's challenge is on. If she wins, I have to admit that I'm loved, or rather,

Quote:
ambu: um....o-o you have to admit that joo are lurved ^o^
ambu: AND you cannot argue that you dun believe people anymore when they tell you that you are their favorite, or when people say you're one of the best XP
ambu: and i get a million dollars in low unmarked bills?
Aquafire: Dunno about that last one, but I'll agree to the other two.
ambu: damn...well, i can live without the last one...;_; *goes back to eating ramen*
Aquafire: You're on
ambu: D< good cause i already started my own journal entry XD



ambu's vote as well as the votes/comments of the other moderators or members on the staff (admins, devs) DO NOT COUNT, so nyaaaaaaa. pirate Also, no cheating on mules, and I'm talking to you, mods!

    Seems as though you are loved very much.

    comment InnocentlyEvil · Community Member · Fri Aug 19, 2005 @ 04:17pm
    Heh, Aqua, you are loved. I remember seeing you around the GCG back when it was just starting out, working your butt off, and now you even help us out in the Fishing Forum, and for that I am grateful.

    But yes, the point is, you are loved and appreciated, and not just in the exchange wink I believe the entire TF community will agree with me there, and it numbers roughly 96 at the moment 3nodding


    comment Gaidin · Community Member · Fri Aug 19, 2005 @ 04:23pm
    Awww, I love you with all your aquaness! 3nodding heart

    comment Skarlis · Community Member · Fri Aug 19, 2005 @ 04:23pm
    The world would asplode without good mods. I knew you were a mod, but not in the exchange sweatdrop Which I guess just goes to show you that you're doing a good job, since I haven't had anything to complain about.

    Being mod is like being mom, a thankless chore sometimes. But we all appreciate it very very very much, even if we're too busy bumpin stupid posts or fishing to say so. And so yeah, I guess this would be #16. 50 should be quite easy heart

    I've never acutally spoke to you before sweatdrop . (I was sent to this entry by Meri ninja ) but i've seen you around the exchange and i agree with Ambu, you do a great job and you are apprciated 3nodding ...I guess this counts as Numer 17? sweatdrop

    comment Midnight3476 · Community Member · Fri Aug 19, 2005 @ 05:49pm
    Hello there. You may never see me, but I've seen you. In the exchange, sometimes outside. You are loved. Mods in the Gaia Exchange are important. Without you mods, people would probably not know if they were doing something wrong in the exchange or something, the Exchange would be extreme screw-up! So, my point is, you are important to many people and the world of Gaia!

    comment CartoonKid · Community Member · Fri Aug 19, 2005 @ 05:56pm
    You didn't mention Helpers and since we don't have any ToS violation-dealing authority I say I'm not official staff and my vote counts! Nyaaa~ And besides, even if it does count that can't stop me from truly and sincerely appreciating all that you do for us. heart You're great, you're wonderful, you're a martyr to the cause! *builds shrine*

    I think you're a wonderfull mod aqua ^^ I don't know Ambu or what this whole deal is about proving you're loved and all that but trust me I'm sure you have a ton of people you haven't even met who thank you for something you've done for them xd

    comment Lord Yawgmoth · Community Member · Fri Aug 19, 2005 @ 08:35pm
    hiya aquafire, i'm mostly a minishops person, but i did hear of you razz you helped me out a couple of times in the exchange, and i think i saw you once in q&f. anyway, i agree with lots of these people that you're a mod who takes her job seriously and does it well. definitely one of the mods i've seen around, working to make gaia a better place 3nodding

    comment Noriko M. Chijinu · Community Member · Fri Aug 19, 2005 @ 09:56pm
    I think you're fantastic! Obviously you've done a great job with everything or else there'd be chaos. whee And I almost forgot that i've met you before.. You did a great job with the gaia wheel too. ^-^
    Keep up the great work Aqua! And I wish you the best of luck with your family drama too..

    comment Mrs.1337 · Community Member · Fri Aug 19, 2005 @ 11:01pm
    As a few others mentioned, they were linked here and have only seen you around...same goes for me XD But you definitely seem like a great person and it hurts to see any kind of person like that leave, besides, look at all these comments! People DO appreciate you and don't want you to go :3 <3

    comment Emi · Community Member · Fri Aug 19, 2005 @ 11:06pm
    Isn't that cheating if *cough*certain people are linking to this? XD

    Oh wells, despite that I still luff on you anyways <3
    You're always kickass with my sig reports, how could I not?! -chubs-

    Your wrist is messed up and you're still going on.

    heart to you.


    comment Inamori Kanako · Community Member · Fri Aug 19, 2005 @ 11:56pm
    Miss Aqua, I venture into the exchange at least 3 times a week to look around and sell off unwanted stuff... I am completely convinced that the only reason it works as well as it does is because you work so hard there. So, don't you EVER dare think that no one appreciates the hard work you put in! heart

    o.o not loved? are you mad?

    i remember when i had a problem with some random thing and i was looking for mods anywhere because only a few were on. i wasn't so hot on pming a mod anyway, but you were so helpful that time. then there was the issue of an account hacking and i pmed you about it and you responded quickly and were really helpfull. that not only impressed me at how fast you were, but it made me feel a whole lot better that there was someone out there willing to respond immediately to even the smallest issue such as a thread edit (back when only mods could delete posts in fishing threads) yet was quick and just as efficient as ever at an odd time of the night when someone was being hacked. you helped us get pointed in the right direction, even contacted whitejoker to help us with it. it's not that we all don't appreciate your work, it's just that for the most part we can't tell you how much we really do. i remember a time when i have had someone more helpfull assist me with a problem, and your doing it for no gain, thats what makes you even more amazing.

    the exchange is what it is because of mods like you. i personally love this site, sometimes it challenges me on my patience with some of the garbage that happens, but nothing is perfect, and since there will always be problems, there will always be a need for mods. i hope that i get a chance to meet more mods like you.

    comment Carandra · Community Member · Sat Aug 20, 2005 @ 03:03am
    Aquafire = Great Mod.

    I've heard NOTHING but good about you from several people I know who make it their sworn duties to keep track of the illicit activities of mods. And that counts for a lot.

    Anyways, I remember when you were a user, and I recall Good Rumors regarding you back then, and now that you're a mod, I hear even more Good Rumors, thus making you, overall, a great person who's doing a good.

    Also, be PROUD of people complaining about you for doing your job. PROUD damnit. PROUD. If they b***h that you disabled their signature, then you should DANCE WITH GLEE. If they whine that you moved their improperly-placed thread, you should SQUEAL WITH DELIGHT. If they moan and complain and make a thread in the Feedback Forum about how you're abusing your powers by informing them that the post they made violates the TOS and has been deleted, THROW A PARTY BECAUSE YOU ROCK.

    Each invalid user complaint against you is a badge of SHINYNESS, and a mark in your favor. You should be flattered that morons take the time to whine that you're doing your job.

    Hey. I don't know you personally, but I've heard nothing but good about you. And you mod the Exchange - that takes bravery, dude! Goodluck~!

    comment prolixity · Community Member · Sat Aug 20, 2005 @ 06:41am
    ^_^ Thank you a lot Aqua, I know you work very hard and do an amazing work. You even used to take time out of your schedual to dump some links on the SIN back when you were not a mod. Thank you, and *luff luff*

    comment CatsGame · Community Member · Sat Aug 20, 2005 @ 06:48am
    Of course you're loved, Aqua. I don't know you personally- as we run in different circles- but I hear great things about you.

    I wouldn't feel right if I singled you out though. I respect and love all of you for what you do for Gaia. No one should have to feel that what they do isn't worthwhile and wholeheartedly appreciated. It is

    heart heart
