An unreserved thank you to Eyes on Final Fantasy, not just for this but for giving me twelve awesome years of fun, shenanigans and laughter. Thank you to everyone who has been my friend, but thank you also to everyone who has made a well thought out thread or a funny post.

I have given a lot of myself to this website because I love it, because I believe in it. I know that sounds cheesy, but I don't know how else to word it. With FFXV on the horizon I'm hopeful that if we put in the hard yards we can get so many new and awesome people to come and the torch will be passed onto them, as it was passed onto me and to all of you, and EoFF will be an awesome place for bored young folks for many years to come.

Although it's nice to be rewarded - truly fantastic - there are many other members who did not win Ciddies but are smurfing awesome. People like Shauna, Freya, ToriJ, Proto, Pike, Jinx, Formy, Crop, Bubba, maybee, Colonel Angus, Mister Adequate, Pant Leg Eater, Shaibana, Tasura, Lancealot, Pete, Sephex, Calliope, Jess, Raistlin, starlet, Kalevala, Karifean, Sendo, JessweeeeNOTE, Face, STEVE , Shaibana, The Man, Juxtaposition, Bert, krissy, foa, hero, Alive-Man, mirage, Rocket Edge, sharky, vermachtnis, WR (dyne best post imho) and Lockharted. Fantastic guys who weren't nominated like Endless and Araciel, Mulley, Noctis Caelem, metalgloria and radicaledward124 . And there are plenty more who have who still bust their hump as much as me - if not moreso! - who did win like Shorty, BoB, Aulayna, Rantz, Shiny, Monda, and Dr Unne. Great members making awesome contributions like Scotty, Fynn, Kanno, nuke, Alayna, Quin, Mr. Shauna, Lonely Paper Star, Jiro, LWL, Murd, Parker. We've got exciting newbies like Newmani and Yellow Magic and fat moogle and BlueD coming through. You're all smurfing brilliant. Every last one of you. If I forgot your name it doesn't matter, you are still the smurfing business.

God bless EoFFmerica. Long may she stand.
