As general feedback - this is a note to every moderator on boards.ie

I hereby fully acknowledge the tireless efforts you all go to in order to keep this site running as a focal point for multiple types of discussions between multiple types of people. Mature, Immature, funny, sad, personal, impersonal - its all there and I think you are doing a great job of keeping it as a valuable place for peoples' exchanges.

I salute your efforts. I indeed salute the 500+ mods, spending countless hours keeping the discussions as worthwhile reading.

It is a somewhat thankless job, however, I pass on my thanks as I have benefited from information within these boards, no doubt I am not the only one.

I have been involved in a number of forums, and by far, this is conducted with the most mature attitude. I say conducted, not controlled or policed, however these actions are sometimes needed.

So, as its the festive season, I thought I would pass on my gratitude and respect. Fair play to you all, and have a great Christmas.

And that's just describing the mods

With the talk of mod conspiracies and the like you'd be amazed to see how much the mods, well, "don't see eye-to-eye" with each other about modding/direction of the site/the weather/X-factor/posting styles etc., but...

I salute your efforts. I indeed salute the 500+ mods, spending countless hours keeping the discussions as worthwhile reading.

I think we can all get behind that and say thank you

It makes a change from the abusive private messages some of us receive on a daily basis from people who are meant to be grown up. Should we have to put up with it? No, but we do it because we love this site.
Thanks to the OP and have a smashing Christmas to you and yours.

I really need to find my replacements...:p

And Bah Humbug to you too

Seriously though, there is enough negativity in the world. for once could we not just take this for what it is, someone having something nice to say, without people assuming there is an ulterior motive or that something will happen or just using it as a chance to grind and old axe
