Heelfan Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 I first posted the following message under "Where's Laurieheels?", but I started paying a tribute to Firefox as well, because both of these good moderators have just posted that they are spent-out and talked-out respectively. My posting was rather buried-away, so I thought it deserved re-posting under a special heading: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ __ _ __ __ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Well everyone, I'm sure you'll all agree that our unparalleled Moderators Laurie and Firefox have been, and are doing an impeccable and a MARVELLOUS job! But now, unsurprisingly, they're KNACKERED! But when you think of what they've been achieving on our behalves, no wonder they're both knackered! They've both Moderated away ceaselessly, often well into the early hours of the morning (if you check their posting times), seven days a week! Despite occasions when they must have been dog tired, they've been unwaveringly good natured and fair with everyone, whilst dealing firmly and sternly with spammers, porn and trouble-makers. They've put up with over-impulsive enthusiasts like me VERY nicely (thank you both!) and when members' views are put forward, they've both been excellent at putting forward alternative viewpoints to make us all pause and think. That's not even the half of it! You ain't heard nuthin yet! .... They've both been holding down day jobs (yes, thankfully Laurie has again found employment!) whilst doing all this. They've both been posting away with record numbers of postings. Rocketing out of their comfy loafers, Laurie was just ahead at the 2,000 milestone, whilst Firefox is narrowly ahead as they reach 2,700. An INCREDIBLE contribution when the average is only two or three dozen, and in some cases hardly any! Then they've both been posting excellent photographs on the Forums - Laurie with great and alluring photographs of herself - the Goddess in High Heels, and Firefox with all manner of heels-for-guys and his shots of bus shelters (that just happen to contain high-heeled ladies) etc. etc. Then between them they've rescued Jenny's High Stilettos Site by dragging it back from total oblivion and reconstituting it and finding a new host for it and putting it right back at the top of the tree where it belongs. An absolutely HUGE task in itself! Then they've already put in place the start of an exciting optional paysite extension to Jenny's site. And Firefox has posted that they have embarked on transforming it into a bigger, broader and really great site. Then Laurie did her personal training programme reports followed by her field reports of her heel-wearing - weren't they great? Then there's Firefox getting out and about to take street-shots for posting. Then there's Firefox turning up cheerfully to our 2003 Heel-Meets in Oxford and two in London. Then there's Firefox running his own "Aesthetic Heels for Men" website - a real inspiration to us street-heeling guys. Then there's Laurie treating us to her heely story-writing talents on Megaforums and on Jenny's site. Then there's Firefox kindly turning out to meet up with individual members here and there and even fitting in a few games of golf (with odd heely chat thrown in) with yours truly and joining in with visits to Raymond's Review Bar and the Rocky Horror Show (suitably attired!). Then there's Firefox running his own part-owned golf club, designing a new crazy golf corner this year, and taking part in numerous bridge meetings and tournaments. HOW DO THEY DO IT? The mind boggles. I hope each and every one of our magnificent one-thousand-plus members reads this and appreciates the hundreds and hundreds of man-hours and goddess hours than Firefox and Laurie put in on all of our behalves. From me personally, one helluva big THANKYOU for everything you've both done in 2003! No wonder you're both talked-out and thoroughly 101% knackered! Can I suggest that you both try and let the Forums take care of themselves a teeny bit throughout the forthcoming Christmas break, and RELAX AND PUT YOUR (HIGH-HEELED) FEET UP! Thank you once again both! Your geniuses! And don't let's hear much from either of you until you've chilled-out and thoroughly recharged your batteries! THANK YOU BOTH! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Also, we must also acknowledge the stirling work of each of other other Moderators: Francis (who also threw a Halloween party and helped organise the Rocky Horror trip), Debbie (and her incredible gallery on Jenny's Site), Xaphod (star of multitudinous Heel-Meets) and Jenny (creator of her wonderful ground-breaking High Stiletto Heel Site) plus, as PJ pointed out, a special "Thank you" to our Website Host, none other than ........ wait for it! .............wait for it! ............. Jeff! A Very Happy and Relaxing Christmas And A Prosperous New Year To All Of You, and also to all of the 1,000+ members/contributors! Quite amazing stuff! Cheerfully Yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!
PJ Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 (originally posted in the Where is Laurieheels? thread) Heelfan; How can you remember all those details about Laurieheels and Firefox? I'm having trouble remembering where my car keys are. You did an exhaustive job of itemizing all the details of their particiaption not only here with the Forum, but also at Jenny's and away from the internet. We all owe a debt of gratitude to our moderators for providing us with a place to meet and share our thoughts and experiences. And let's not forget the person who hosts the server we use to meet here for free. Thank you one and all and Happy Holidays. click .... click .... click .... The sensual sound of stiletto heels on a hard surface.
Puma Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 Absolutely! Great site. Great people. I thank you. Have a great Christmas, and all the best for 2004. Dave
chris100575 Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 I'd like to add a wee note of thanks too. I've not been here very long, but this site has a great sense of community. I love the fact the discussions remain polite and well thought out without resorting to flame wars as happens on so many other boards. You're doing a great job. Thank you.
shyguy Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 Yeah I'll go along with that, we may not always agree, but we can always agree to disagree here. There is only one other (unrelated ) forum I visit and the reason is cos of the poor moderation of most online forums. Thanks to the tireless work of the above mentioned, this is probably THE BEST FORUM online. Thanks for giving us a fun and enlightening place to come to, Firefox and Laurie you make this place what it is. He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes.

Firefox Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 Thanks guys, I really appreciate it and I'm sure Laurie does too. Don't forget Jeff who set up the board and still hosts it as well as providing the key admin role, along with all the other mods we have. They all do a great job along with along with all our loyal posters who provide fanastic variety of content, and never cause any problems.
Francis Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 Well, I didn't know we mods were so well thought of ! One or two of us have been resting on our heels for a little bit, but now that I am net-ified again I'll be around a lot more thanks for the praise, we all appreciate it !
Secreto Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 I couldn't agree more. Thank you to all the moderators. It's really good to know there are like minded people in the world, who aren't just obsessed with the lewd. You all do great work & here here to you all When woman get taller, their shoes will fit me better.
azraelle Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 I appreciate the slight censorship that goes on with regard to photos and "conversations" that get out of hand. I would long ago have volunteered as a moderator but it seemed that eveyone had things well in hand. The offer is still open, though.

Heelfan Posted December 19, 2003 Author Posted December 19, 2003 There you are Moderators! A kind offer of help, if you ever need it! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!
