I wish to thank, first and foremost all of the people that have helped me bring the Rising to the Site Fights Championship and those who have helped me recover after the major hacking tragedy we suffered. Without their help, I never could have done it. You all know who you are and you're the best. Tsaliguy for being there for me outside the box and listening to me cry my eyes out over this hacker deal and telling me it would be okay. My sister Rora for helping to calm me down over the same thing. Trident and Armie for being there for me when the chips were down. Royal for his wonderful posts on the Bounty Hunter's Board telling the guys to keep voting.. and encouraging me to rebuild the Rising. Its hard. Six Months of hard work to be recovered in just a few hours. But I didn't give up and DID IT!

I'd also like to thank a few others in my life. I would like to thank the following people for making my life in the Realm of RhyDin just a little bit better. I will forever miss my homeland of Darksbane and the Realm of Taslima (WOW!) but, with the help of all my true friends.. I'm sure that I will survive RhyDin. Thanks to Lyrical, Callista, DS, Sylist, Blake Wylie, Scav, Mistara Haxard, Rora, Shianna, Peter Ward, Nelson, Menacer, Donitz, Patrick, Sirrus, Tyver Haxard, Rina, Marishna, and Angel. Thanks guys. Thanks so much. You've helped me more than you know. Also, lots of thanks to the guys and gals at the Emperor's Hammer. You guys keep voting for me! I'm trying to bring her back up to her former glory!

Another big thanks goes out to my friend Johnny. You've always been there for me when the chips were down and you always know how to make me laugh when I'm sad. Thanks so much for everything, dearling.

A very superspecial thanks goes out to Blake Wylie and to one other.. who knows who he is. Thanks so much guys for the magnificent banners you made for me. I really really appreciate it so here is a cyberhug just for all of you!!!.
