I've been on gitp for a bit over a year now. I've been on multiple corners of the internet before. I've also had the challenge of moderating a forum for an mmorpg. This is one of the saner corners of the internet. It's one of a few places where I've seen something like the LGBTAitp thread exist and remain relatively sane. And where I haven't had trouble for being a female gamer.
I know not everyone agrees with everything you guys do. I don't. But - I love you guys. So here's a plate of internet cookies:

(Also, I am mildly drunk and feeling sappy tonight.)

I am not brave enough to say something outrageous and be serious. You'll be happier if you assume I'm joking.

I'm a pretty good listener. If you EVER need to vent, someone that listens to what you are saying or just want to talk, my PM box is always open.

I agree with WarKitty, on the thank you mods, not on the being mildly drunk.
Thank you mods for keeping this a very sane place.
Mauve shirt, What's with the bananas?

The Atlas is also goofy but it has that whole "Stay Puft Marshmallow Man" menacing smile thing going for it. The guy who drew that one up was obviously taken to the Nutcracker when he was a child... and he was screaming in terror the entire time.

On a more serious note, I suspect the state of the community does a fair bit to help the mods set the tone they have, because if they were having to fight and sanction everyone they'd burn out pretty quickly and lose their tempers more often, leading to the possibility of them acting in a much less professional way...
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! YOU HAVE BROUGHT MOD WRATH ON US ALL!

GitP is one of the best forums I've ever been to, and while a large part of that is the community, the contribution of the mods can not be overlooked(who, in part, belong to the community as well). So yes, props to the mods from doing a good job - I know from first hand experience how difficult moderating can be.
Anyone else vote that Serp add "Ate her mother's pants" to her signature?
Och, aye! *raises drinking horn*

I also love GitP for its niceness and wellmoderated...osity... It's the only forum I've ever been able to stick.
That entire banana thread was fascinating, especially Serp's contribution. While I have never eaten banana underwear of my mother's, I do agree -- wait. I cannot in good conscience discuss bananas publicly.

I guess I'll join in. This is, honestly, the nicest forum I've ever been on in the internet. People her are nice, there aren't flame wars going on every day, and at worst you can expect a snarky comment aimed at you.
Still getting used to the Mods cursing less then the average posters.
