dazzpreciation - Appreciation - 07-02-2017

hello everyone!!

i'm an old user of the site who left several years ago after falling out with a lot of members and staff.

i emailed dazz to set me up with an account to keep who i am secret in ip by emailing him from a temporary email account i had set up, as i really understand that the way i acted was pretty shitty.

i promised him that i would only post 1 thread and this is it.

i wanted to express my appreciation towards the guy. when i acted out of line, he didn't blast at me like some of the other mods at the time (some of which seem to have left?) and he was willing to listen to me like i was a real person and not just some internet entity or something.

i've seen that he's not around as much and i just wanted to make a thread to show that he's a stand-up guy and it isn't ignored. his work on didyouknowgaming is great and seeing him reply to people there it shows that he hasn't changed much.

i guess i'm just realising that he's becoming a bit more recognised in the world beyond just this community and i hope that people here actually appreciate some of the effort he has put into this site. if my memory is right he's been running the place for so long now that most of us probably weren't even there at the beginning. and i joined like 10 fuckin years ago.

based on his twitter i've seen that things took a downward spiral a little while back but he doesn't seem to have let it get to him. strong guy.

one of the people that was friends with me at the time i was banned even told me that dazz sent him $100 simply because his psu broke and he couldn't afford a new one. who does that for people who are almost complete strangers?



any i'm starting to drag on but i just wanted to say that i'm so glad that i've had the chance to be in this community even if i left on bad terms. i just wanted him to feel a little love as i think most people rarely know the other side to his personality on here besides 'big admin man'.

If you are who I think you are, just wanna say I miss you dude.

Whoever you are, very nice post. Dazz is definitely an awesome guy and I'm glad you came back to point that out Smile

i think i know who this might be Thinking whoever they are, i remember them as a really chill guy. i don't remember any kinda falling out tho!!

but yea - great post. it's really nice of you to come back and drop some nice words tho and...i mean, it'd be nice if you wanted to come by and drop this nice hidden user too.
the community's changed quite a bit, and having the older, relaxed, more chill users might have a really positive effect on the community.

hi again tho

I could take a few guesses on who this is, but yeah things have really changed since the spriters resource became the vg resource.

But yes, I'm gonna agree with Kosh and Puggosy, this is very well indeed a good post.

And yes, welcome back. Even if it's for one post.

Whilst I appreciate the sentiment, I genuinely don't do any of this for recognition. I treat everybody the same because I don't see the point in picking favourites in anything... We're all just as alive as each other and deserve that same respect.

I know in your email you said that you wouldn't return, and I appreciate that. I don't know who you are and I'll respect your desires to remain anonymous.

I hope that you'll continue to enjoy the stuff I work on, and I hope that I don't disappoint you in the future somehow. With that growth comes less time for me to talk with people regular or one-on-one, and I don't know how to handle that. I've not been somebody that has been recognised like this before.

I hope that everyone here knows that I will never see you as anything but family and friends. I also don't intend to leave any time soon, while this might sound like it, so please don't think that. I'm gonna be running this place for a long time if I can!

i can confirm this; met dazz earlier this year, pretty sure that we're somehow biologically cousins now
