Happy Holidays From User(s) to Staff - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Larry Myster · 17th Dec 2008, 05:40 PM

I think we (the users) should thank Paul UK and the rest of the wounderfull staff here at Empty Closets for making this really fine establishment and letting it grow throughout the world.

From me:

Thank you Paul UK for founding EC and thank you the staff for letting it grow super cool. vBulletin was the right choice, yet expencive haha, anywho, hope you all have good happy hollidays.

This is my thanks to you guys

Now who else is ganna suck up? lol Just kidding... But seriously, anybody have something to say for the staff?

**EM68** · 17th Dec 2008, 05:48 PM

This is my thanks to all of the staff of EC. This week marks 6 months for me on EC. When I first join I was scared and alone. Now I am the happiest I have been in the longest time. I am even started to date and after the new year, I plan to come out to my family. Thanks to all of you. You guys have helped me a lot.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

crystaltriforce · 17th Dec 2008, 06:15 PM

i think we all owe the staff for all of the advice, support, a place to comunicate with others, and the courage to be ourselves.

merry christmas and happy holidays everyone.

Happy Holidays and thank you for making this the best site on the internet!

Greggers · 17th Dec 2008, 09:19 PM

Very true. A BIG thank you to every last staff member, this site is like a tiny piece of Heaven! Ive come out to four people since i joined, and learned alot about myself. Places like this make it all worth it, thanks guys. Happy Holidays to all!

Starshine16 · 18th Dec 2008, 06:33 PM

Yes a big thank you does need to be said.When I joined I felt so scared and alone and being here has done so much for me and I am so greatful for this place where I can come and just be myself despite the fact I am still 95% closeted.

If I didn't have this place I would still feel very scared and alone.So thank you EC staff for all that you do.Not only for me,but for all of us.

Merry Christmas guys!!!

pirateninja · 19th Dec 2008, 02:04 PM

I'll admit, I've grown to see EC as my second family, and you know that the Holiday season is supposed to be about spending time with family.

A big merry christmas to everyone
