I truly appreciate the level of dedication, time, and energy you put into making this a welcoming, positive, enjoyable, and engaging place to be, Erika, and my fellow CSS staff. I love this forum and the people too. Not only do we get to watch Richard and Kahlan's beautiful relationship unfold and grow, but The Confessor and Seeker Society is like an RK mecca. It's amazing for being able to appreciate and delve into them, as well as the show and books without criticism or apology. Thank you CSS! ET

Thank you so much Erika, and the entire staff, for all that went into this! It's my first few days here and they have been extremely memorable and I'm so proud to be a part of such a welcoming community. This is the perfect spot for fans of LOTS, in every way. I mean, what isn't at CSS? You've got a place for fans of the show and fans of the books, to games that involve kicking Denna and smashing Rahl (which, I should add, are EXTREMELY entertaining). I know I'll be a member here for a very long time. I cannot WAIT to participate to Richard night! Erika, you're amazing!

This is my first time actually joining an online fandom and I love CSS for making it a great experience! I'm so glad I lurked around Livejournal (don't have an account but sometimes tempted to open one) or I wouldn't have found this fantastic forum. Thank you CSS staff!

I too would like to express my deep thanks to everyone who helped create this awesome forum and the hilariously fun Kahlan night! I've joined forums before, but none were run so efficiently, with opportunities for both show and book fans to express themselves, and had special nights like the one we just had. It was so much fun and all the activities and challenges were great! Its also nice to see the whole forum come together to bond over the show/books they all love! Everyone who took the time and effort to create this amazing place are wonderful! Thank you so much to everyone

I want to thank everyone here at CSS who made Kahlan night so incredibly amazing for me. As Bluedoll said, I've never seen a forum quite like this one before, where fans can come together and actually feel wanted and included. I got to celebrate something I love so much with a bunch of other people who feel the same way I do; it was awesome! I also want to thank Erika, and everyone else who believed in my fanmix. I never imagined that in one day I'd go from being a newbie who just lurked around here once in a while to being a member of the staff, preparing for such an amazing event, and all because I asked Erika where I could post my fanmix. It's just another example of how friendly and welcoming this place is. Anyone can get involved, not just a group of elites. It's awesome, and I can't thank you enough for it. Congrats on making this such an amazing place. I'm definitely sticking around.

A huge thank you to EVERYONE who keeps the CSS running smoothly! You guys are incredible and without you life on the CSS could have been chaotic! ;D I love the never-ending creativity you all pump into this forum, without it I would be bored out of my mind...and, god-forbid, I would actually get my essays done... *shudders*. I want to thank every single member for their undying passion to this show! You guys keep me going on a daily basis! Finally, an extra-special thanks to Erika - without her the CSS never would have existed, and she continues to be an amazing force on this forum! THANKS EVERYONE we wouldn't have the CSS without you!! CHEERS!

Awww you guys are sweet I'm very happy that this place has really taken off, it certainly wouldn't exist w/o all of our lovely members, I may have built the framework, but you all are all of the important contributors who make this place fantastic. Back when the show started I went all over the web looking for a place where people could have fun chats about the show that didn't involve a lot of bashing. It wasn't easy to find, in fact it was near impossible. I spent many years over on the worlds largest Star Wars fanboard, TheForce.net and spent way too many years butting heads w/ bashers over there...I just wasn't in the mood to do that again for a TV series that I just wanted to purely enjoy. Although I haven't read the entire series of books I loved Richard and Kahlan as characters and knew that they'd develop a large shipper following, so after a couple of episodes into the season, I still wasn't able to find the place that suited my needs for chatting about the show, I created CSS with the hope that it would become what it is...a haven for fans of the series, even if they're not necessarily rabid shippers. I'm excited about our global community of members that continues to grow each day. Myself and your mod staff are more than happy to always come up w/ new ways to expand the fun of enjoying this great show. Thank you all for continuing to come in here. We're looking forward to another fun evening on April 18th - I hope to see you all there

First off, I just want to say how much I freakin' LOVE this forum! Everyone here shows great respect and class that you really can't find at most other forums, and I have immense appreciation for that. I have befriended a number of you, and it has made me feel happy and welcome every time I come here. You have all made my time at CSS an enjoyable, thrilling and memorable experience. I want to express my gratitude for my fellow staff members as well. You guys have been a great part of the fun! None of the events, threads, discussions and hysteria would exist without you. I've never been able to have intellectual discussions like I have here - and better yet, the criticism is either constructive or non-existant. You've all shown dedication and energy that I've come to admire and respect. And, last but not least, many thanks and eternal Karma to you, Erika! None of this would be possible without you! We all know how much effort you've put into running this forum - as well as how exhausting it can be. You've created an amazing and well-organized place for all LotS/SoT fans to come together and splurge our love for Richard and Kahlan in any way, shape or form. You've found a way to keep us all on our feet during the various no-eppie's period, which is something I think we all need. Thank you, one and all! ;D Edit: And you're welcome, Erika! You deserve it!

Ohhhhhhhh ....
You guys have already pretty much covered it all so I'm having trouble finding my words as I'm not that fluent in writing as the vast majority here. I feel truly humbled before such eloquent gathering of minds. But I'll give it a go. I absolutely must say that I've never been on a board wich has such a positive feeling to it. And the good vibes are soooooooooo obvious from the very first moment you log in. It feels like a save haven. It somehow feels like home. And none of this would have been possible without the GREAT stuff members & of course without the FABULOUS Erika. You guys have made it possible to share & spread the love for Richard & Kahlan. And it's so entertaining seeing how on this board philosophy and tremedous hilarity aka fun can walk hand in hand. A unique place it is. Thaaaaaaaaaaank you so much for making all of this possible. Love you guys ;D

Wow. Everyone totally covered every inch of what I would have said. So, without repeating all the wonderful words everyone else posted, I will say ditto to all the words stated above. This place is home. I've had so much fun being a semi-lurker here. lol. I spend waaaaay too much time in the Meet and Greet thread. I love welcoming newbies.
Erika. Thank you for creating this place. Thanks for making it fun and pleasent. Everyone here is so respectful and friendly. Thanks for making this such a global success. You montiored us, and watched over us, and never an unkind word from you when some of the newbies messed up the rules. Much praise to you. =D
