This place is amazing to me. I'm new to the Android way of life and not a very technically minded person. I want to thank everyone on this site for their time and devotion to this. I have learned many things here and look forward to learning more and do intend to donate. Thank you. Rob
Welcome and enjoy XDA!
I'm sure this has been posted dozens of times, but a little thanks is never wasted in my opinion.
Thank you, creators of XDA, for giving me a place to ask for help and share my knowledge with fellow android enthusiasts.
Thank you, creators of XDA, for giving us a HUGE allotment for PMs in our inbox. Such forums as PBnation and NASIOC make you pay for extra inbox space. PBnation goes from 100 to 300 for $15/yr and NASIOC charges you $20 (I think) for 60 PMs (total crap) to increase to 400.
Thank you, mods, for doing what irritates the rest of us. Filtering through crap to keep this place civil. I've been a mod on many forums and there are many thanks due. Sure, half the time we "hate" you, but deep down we really don't (at least I don't).
Thank you, donators, for keeping this forum running. We are incredibly fortunate to have XDA and I feel the Android sales would decrease without this forum. "Well that's a stupid thought!" you might say, but here is my theory. Whenever I want to buy something, I research the crap out of it. What can it do, how can I modify it, what makes it tick, what are my options with x, can I change y, does this do that, can that do this, so on and so forth. If I can't find that information, I don't buy the product. I guarantee you XDA is one of the BEST, if not the greatest, sources of information for Android devices. I found all the information I needed to buy a captivate (broke my Apple addiction), atrix, inspire, infuse, and soon SGS2 all here on XDA. My mother and father do the same, all here on XDA. To me, that is tangible proof this forum pushes the Android revolution!
Thank you, you wonderful developers, for keeping the Android revolution moving. Truly, we all owe a great debt to you. Many of you work long hours for no money, AND THEN GO TO WORK! You do this for us, you do this for the "revolution", you do this because you are brilliant individuals. I've gotten the opportunity to meet some brilliant individuals in various sections of this forum, atrix, inspire, and infuse. Folks like boostnsubaru (who ports my beloved MIUI when he is allowed to ), N0ctrnl, dman3285, and MANY more have shared their expertise, as well as mistakes, and helped me become a more productive user. I'm now making my own mistakes, but now I can fix most of them! Why? Because these kind folks donate their time to help us. There is a forum out there, mainly for console game hacking, that literally hates people seeking knowledge and trying to learn. It is despicable to ask for help, and all you receive is useless insults. I'm sure some of you know the forum, I wont share the name. I mention this because XDA is quite the opposite, newcomers are treated (for the most part) with kindness and it is fantastic.
Thank you for reading this. I know its lengthy, and somewhat stupid, but I felt it necessary to post my thoughts. I give thanks during the holiday season for my new friends on XDA. Thank you all and merry Christmas!
Thankyou sir.
Happy holidays...

I just wanted to take a moment to thank the administrators, moderators, and members of this forum.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to find a forum anymore where people behave with common (uncommon?) courtesy toward each other. Here people are courteous and extremely helpful.
Having run a couple of VERY small forums, I know that it's a huge undertaking to keep the trolls at bay.
I thank those that give there time and effort into doing so, and all the members who contribute and help others out.
I hope that I can contribute over time as well.
Thanks, and happy new year.
-Geoff

What up ladies and gentlemen. I've been around xda for a little while now and I must say that this community is one of the most talented, friendliest, and helpful communities I've been a part of since I joined this site 5 years ago. Just wanted to say thanks to our excellent moderators, talented devs, and great members. Cheers to a happy holiday season and life beyond 12/21/2012!
Hey Guys!!
I wanted to thank you guys here on the XDA GNex Community.
As you guys can probably see from my post count I am not a very active member but I have been here for a fair while; I'm not an active member simply because I am not a developer of any kind and XDA is a site meant to be for devs exchanging ideas and help with other devs. But i'm glad they choose to help the regular guy!!
I just wanted to say how awesome you guys are who have managed to help n00b users become more knowledgeable by helping them with any issues they have; like how to change screen brightness, change volume settings and the like to all the way to Rooting, ROM and Kernel guides and indeed ALL the help you guys give to WHEN they do it wrong.:highfive:
I want to thank you for all the patience you have had what with the same questions and plea's for help for the same issues (HELP - I BRICKED MY DEVICE) type of threads or the dramas we have all seen in various threads which somehow always degenerates to "Hitler liked that, you like that, therefore you = Hitler" :silly:
I want to thank all the MODS that have tried to keep this place sane because they have done an amazing job!! :good:
I would like to thank efrant and Jubakuba for the quality of work they have done on their guides and the personal help they have given to various people! You guys have helped the community so much!! I know if i ever see a thread started by you, the info is a definite must read!!
I would also like to thank BigBrother1984 and Team PA because to be entirely honest; you guys are the whole reason why I rooted my phone. Your ROM is something that I intend to have on all my future devices.
To all members of the GNex Community:
Thank you for being an Awesome bunch of people!!
