@Fozzy

For being really supportive and always showing appreciation for the things others do.
Constantly spending almost all his free time working on the site and trying to get things going.
He's a real shining star and without his constant efforts Voltra would still be in a blackout.
He overcomes troubles and pushes forward, a real inspiration to us all.

@Elithiya

Elithiya is truly one of the most dedicated staff I have seen.
Without her constant and unending effort and dedication the experience of Voltra would not be as amazing as it is now.
Willing to stay up to ungodly hours and drain all her energy just to make sure everything is A-OK for any releases is such an amazing thing to do for us Volties.

Sometimes I wonder if she's a hindu goddess with 10 arms because it feels like the amount of work she puts in is not the kind one would manage with just two arms, that's for sure!
I would appreciate her taking a bit more of a break when needed and not overworking herself though.

@Saeyra

Dis goober over here is one of the main reasons I've enjoyed my time here.
Even though she can be a bit of a ... toothpick under my toenail sometimes, she's incredibly kind and supportive.
Without her boosting my morale and talking to me constantly - I might not have stayed here due to recent ... mishaps.
Thankfully, she's pretty much tied me to a pole and put an electric fence around me so I can't leave.
I'm stuck here forever.

@ghost

Ghost also has 10 arms, because god damn the work that boy puts into this site is spread far and wide and constant.
Sometimes he pushes himself into a corner with the amount of things he want's to do for you Volties and this wonderful world.
It just shows his love and dedication to this site and its members, and I want to let him know he's valued for it!
He's put his ghostly ethereal finger in pretty much every pie Voltra has.

Illustration? Yep.
Writing? Yup.
Concept Art? Mhhmmm
Web Design? Don't sweat it. (though he can't sweat because he's a ghost)
Pixel-ling up a beautiful item? Look no further!

Shower him with love for all he does. Because he definitely deserves it!

I'd like to mention @nyreen: you were one of my first friends here, though I believe we met on another forum. I greatly admire all of your positivity and the way you actively and passionately help your community. You're going to be showing so many kids how to turn into pretty cool adults.

3 more according to my math

"Hey I wanted to @Vii: The work you did on the summer event was beyond amazing. We all know you're still learning the ropes, but your effort and dedication really paid off. You were there for us when we didn't have anyone and we really appreciate it!"

just TWO more folks!

@Elithiya: The most amazing person, hard working person I've met. She gives all her time and energy not expecting anything back when she deserves the world.

@Glume: A talented person that has a bright future ahead of them!

@Dowan: Does things that no other writer can do and I hope they know we love and value them!

Ladies and gentlemen, my dream has come true and we reached our goal.
I'll see about keeping all the beautiful notes sent as a sticky so that we never forget our beautiful community at this point in time.

Happy Birthday Voltra, and thank you volties for spending today with me. I will announce the raffle soon I promise.

Good job.

This thread will now close since we met our goal. Sorry to those who didn't get the chance but due to its success we will certainly talk about maybe bringing it back again for a future event. <3
