Aww thanks oak!

oak - thanks for being a great partner. our aussies will rule the game someday. xD

insom - been my game bestie for years.

I don't need a page layout right now, so don't include me in the raffle, but I still want to participate!

Aeon, this is so nice of you! Thank you for creating a moment to remind each other how loved we are.

Jaya, I'm so happy I met you all those years ago. You've single-handedly kept me going on HP when I usually would've needed to step away and lose so much progress on my pixels. You're such a good friend, listener, and ENABLER. :p Seeing your message notifications on Discord ALWAYS brightens my day!

Uta, you are such a wise and lovely person, and I treasure our conversations! You bring my dumb art ideas to life with such polish. You think I would no longer be astonished, but I still am EVERY time!

Saturnia, you are one of the most loving and compassionate people I have ever met. You go out of your way to be there for everyone else; it was an honor to be able to do the same for you. You deserve all the good in the world, and I hope what we spoke of improves for you in time.

Whynn, you have greatly improved your coding since you began! I'm always eager to see your new work. Please continue to let me know whenever you need help! Keep it up! (:

To the STAFF as a whole: THANK YOU. ♥

To anyone I didn't specifically mention here, you all make HP a fantastic place to be! I'm grateful to be a part of such a great, supportive community. Here's to the next ten years of HP!

ooo I don't know many after being back on for a week after leaving in 2016 but..

Tragedy ~ randomly messaged me to welcome me back ❤️

Uta ~ has been super friendly and omg their graphics 🤤

Eldrea ~ has also been friendly 😍

Please leave me out of the running, but I still wanted to pop in and join the positivity and kindness being shared!

You all are loved and I admire your open hearts!
The support for one another shown in this little corner of the internet is amazing. You are amazing!
Thank you for being you and including me in your HP world! < 3

^{Welcome back bleikur! I'm glad to have you here!}

^{Jade & BV thank you for joining in on the positivity train! Much love to you both.} 

Adding on to the positivity train - I already have an amazing layout coming up so I'd prefer if someone else gets the chance. :) 

Nytmare - lovely wonderful luv. Talented, caring, awesome. 

Tragedy - such a positive, friendly and talented person! 

Whynn - are you ever on a bad mood? I don't know you well, but you always seem so happy and friendly. Makes me smile :) 

In general, all artists - Omg, I love all the art. I keep getting mesmerized by all of the talent on here. 

I'm currently watching Knightly, I love seeing their manips in auction :D

Tronic and Noel, I miss you both dearly. ♥

I know I'm going to be forgetting someone, and there's way more I could do!

Lakra - I don’t know what I would do without you! You’re always there for me when I need a chat, up late late at night you’re still awake (yay timezones lol) and keep me company. You are so sweet and caring, and I definitely could not HP without you! You have such a big heart too, and I love that so much.

Blitz - I love you so much! You accept me for just what I am and I can always come to you when life is being horrible, or I just need to tell you something funny. You do a phenomenal job here on HP taking care of everything and all of us! Ily blitzmuffin. 

Freia -  Friends for yearrrrs now, you have always been one of the most lovely muffins I have ever met and you are just the best. Always sweet and I just adore you my Viking goddess. I’ve never heard you say a cross word about anything and your positivity is just magnetic. 

Glitch - What can I even say, we’ve loved each other from the get go and you are literally my best friend. 

Vex - How I admire you! You are always great for a chat, our little shared love of tattoos and you are sweet to literally everyone. You’re really cool and I just love you babe. 

Neke - Oh my gosh how many years has it been?? We’ve gone through so much together! I admire the heck out of your work ethic and just how HARD you work for all the things you have. 

Uta and Tragedy - Great at graphics, Uta you’re always there for me when I need a project horse’s picture done and you NEVER disappoint! So talented and just really sweet too. Tragedy! You too, I love your graphics and you’ve done an absolute mess of them for me, which I really appreciate! 

Tronic - We all miss you honey.  

^{I'm loving reading everyones compliments!} 

bump in case people hadnt seen this :)

I have so many I could give compliments to, but to limit to one (otherwise it'll go on forever)

Irishii; this girls been my absolute rock since I started back up on HP, she never fails to help whenever I need help and is the best friend anyone could ask for 

Hello there I would like to enter too please. I am new here so I do not know any players personally so I will compliment the two most recent posts:

@ Tragedy [Mirco❤]:

I adore your layout of the bay and red color schemes. I love warmer colors also. Your account is very organized and easy to read. 

@ eldrea 🎀 the night belongs to you:

I like that your layout is an arctic scene. I grew up in alaska and so I find this cold wintery appearance comforting. I read your most recent update on your page regarding your lost babies. I am sorry for your loss 

Tronic for pulling me out of my shell and into the game, causing me to ultimately end up on staff and build further lifetime friends. 💔 Love you always and forever

Ephe, Sat, and Koni for making the trek all the way to Minnesota for the Mr and Mrs Pants wedding ♥ -And all the other staff who were there via the Koni boobage 💀 iykyk

And everyone else who ultimately keeps this game going and makes it the amazing camaraderie that it is. You are why I'm still here and playing after 13 years at the ripe ol' age of 33. 😘 ILYA!!

Tron and Binny for sure... they helped me get comfortable when I was a staff member and they were both my admin boss 😅 miss tronster like crazy but she will always be a part of HP. Love both ladies for being awesome and always helping me out back in the day. 

fare, you were probably one of the first close friends I ever made on HP, you and Audacity always dealt with my hoards and let me be crazy. 😂

Hard to pick just one person, which is why I've been putting this off. But if I have to pick just one, I have to go with BV. From helping with some things on my personal game and also for all the crazy messages she must get for all the contests. 

You can compliment as many as you'd like! It's not limited to one person. Just one entry per person no matter how many compliments they've done. :) 

Insom - Not only did I deal with your hoards I encouraged you xD lol

but to add to my other post:

blitz - she has always been so nice and helpful! Just so friendly and sweet.

Winner posted. Thank you all!

Congrats Adeina!!

Congrats, Ade! :D

congrats! This was fun, thank you Aeon < 3 - insom
