Thank You and Happy New Year!

[Major Tom]

I just wanted to say thank you to you all for being here. I've been around for around a year, and as far as internet friends go, I feel I have met some great ones! I would also like to thank whomever gave me the gift of membership! It made my day
Thank you for being around everyone! I hope you all had a good year, and have an even better one to come!

A third person that was gifted!

This is the most uplifting conspiracy I've ever known!

Awesome! My kind of conspiracy!!

Happy New Year!

My first thought was that it was Loren just because she's so nice, but she's not VIP so that would be weird!

I bet it was someone who has such power that he can bestow the gift without paying.

Wouldn't be possible unfortunately The site needs the money for server upkeep and the like; but there are indeed very pleasant and courteous people around here

I asked tree if there was a way I could donate without acquiring VIP status, myself, and then noticed that I could gift members. Another one of my oddities, I suppose. I wasn't going to mention it, but, I will take this opportunity to thank you for being such a nice person and friend to me, and everyone, here! It wasn't I, who gifted Major Tom, but, I would have, likely, done so, at some point. You are both, lovely! Happy New Year, again!

HOLY MOLY

I MADE THE FACE OF MY AVATAR FOR LIKE A WHOLE MINUTE BEFORE I REALIZED I WAS DOING IT

You gifted Autismatic?

What a strange coincidence about Major Tom... maybe you inspired someone!

Why did you not want to be VIP yourself?

I don't know. Yes, as he has contributed so, very much. I like you're new avatar, and your style of emoji use! You are funny!! : ))

I had made the unfortunate assumption that whomever had done it was VIP themselves, so I immediately posted in the VIP lounge. Here's the post:

THANK YOU...but why??

I am gonna THROW UP, but in a good way.

I'm suddenly a Very Important Person.

It's like Winnie the Pooh!

Why is it anonymous? Was that a decision made by the person or is it always anonymous? Or am I just not seeing how to read who did it?

Maybe the system glitched and accidentally gifted me it. What a strange glitch that would be.

It led me to look at my own profile for the first time! What a world.

I wonder if the person regrets it now. Or if other people are mad at that person for letting me in LOL I should take a higher dose of my anxiolytic.

Anyway, thanks again! I was at a loss for words for about an hour!

I think I'll make that another hour, starting.. now!

In response to your post:

The system allows you the choice to be anonymous.

I hope it hadn't caused you to become too anxious, and I apologize if it had. I did wonder if that might have been a possibility.

You are welcome and most deserving. I'm sure that whomever is in the VIP area is happy to have you/your presence, there!

You are silly...But, wonderful!

Thank you for sharing your post with me...!

Apologies for hijacking this post, in case that's what we are doing.

Well thank you @Loren
It really is a very kind gesture Just goes to show how thoughtful ASD people can be, despite stereotypes.
I've only been here for a few months, but it's been an amazing journey so far. I must echo @Major Tom from his OP.
Thank you all for being so welcoming.

 

[Major Tom]

There was also another member who was gifted today! That makes 4 I know of!

I think it's great that so many have been gifted. I love seeing generosity - what a wonderful way to go into 2019. Happy New Year to you all - those of you who are already there, those of you who are nearing midnight and those who basically have one more day of this year. I sincerely with everyone the best and that 2019 brings you peace and happiness.
I'm glad to be ending the old and bringing in the new with each and every one of you.

It is important that people feel and know how much they are appreciated and loved. Thank you for all the goodness you have bestowed upon the forum!

I think the stereotype is simply the result of a few ignorant people, who had the power to write it in stone, so to speak. It's good that you and others are out there, setting some records straight.

In case it is of help, or lessens anxieties to know, the gifts I had given were to Fino, Autistamatic, Dillon and Iamnotarobot. I had thought by being anonymous, it would be of benefit, but, after reading Fino's post, I'm not sure. I just came across a post by Nitro, somewhere, mentioning that gifting members, is something he quite likes to do (...not to blow his cover, though)

I wouldn't say the anonymity made me anxious. That just made me curious. Extraordinary kindness makes me anxious, but that's a problem entirely on my end, so you should certainly not worry about it to any degree! You're doing everything right!

 

[Autistamatic]

It was a wonderful gesture @Loren and it was appreciated. I guess one thing many Autistic people have in common is a dislike of uncertainty. Heisenberg and Schrodinger can just do one!
