/u/Wordslinger1919 deleted his account. He's gone now. He was a mod of several well known subreddits. He founded /r/GetMotivated. He also was a mod at various times of /r/RedditoroftheDay, /r/TheoryofReddit, /r/Bestof, /r/TheDarkTower, and this very subreddit you're reading right now -- /r/Thankyou. There were other places as well.

Over time Reddit has lost some good users. You were one of the better ones.

I hope your life goes well for you.

Thank you for the time you did spend with us.

From a Boomer! Thank you Millennials! I wanted to Thank you because I haven't seen anyone Thank you for all the cool stuff. I wanted to Thank you for inventing or causing to happen. Many things that I am using today that have made my life so convenient. Thank you for the ubers. I can now go and do my shopping, get my hair done and go play bridge with my friends, since I don't have a driver's license anymore. I'm no longer stuck in my house which turned into a jail cell because I had no Mobility. Thank you for making it easy to order my groceries online and have them delivered to my home, I no longer have to shuffle on my Walker/wheel chair/cane and spend all day on a bus or paying $100.00 to a taxis to go buy $25.00 of groceries.
Thank you for causing all the people to put selfies and pictures of sunrise/sunsets from so many different countries, there was no way on my meager SSI that I could do all that traveling but through you I can live vicariously and visit all across the globe. Thanks for not laughing at me when I blew my nose on a handkerchief knowing full well that's unsanitary and you gave me the little packet of Kleenex for $1.00 that I could use and throw away. Thanks for reading that menu out loud cause I left my reading glasses at home. Thanks for online chatting so I don't feel so lonley all the time. Thanks for the memes that make me laugh out loud. They say laughter is the best medicine and I smiled at the grumpy cats and sponge Bob's all day.

Thanks for getting people to understand that you just don't have to take bad service you can go somewhere else because we were so stuck on loyalty to a brand when the brand wasn't loyal to us. I'm sorry that some of us Boomers are so mean and grumpy all the time. That happens when you realize you have wasted away your life and dreams because you followed along on other people's dreams because you had to or else you might be ostracized. Thanks for making being different ok. Thanks for the information highway, no longer do we just have to accept someone's word, we can Google and ask Siri instead of going to a library with a index card, searching and reading all day just to find out the information is outdated because books don't update on there own. Thanks for making my credit score appear on line in minutes, so I know when someone has stolen my info and living in Mexico in a nice home while I rot away eating cat food. There are so many other little things I can't remember to say thank you for but again Thank you. I love you and appreciate everything

My friend (who is a SF paramedic) was in an accident in his jeep and will be out of commission for whats looking like 3 to 4 years. Some friends held a benefit for him, and Lady Gaga showed up. I don't know if it was for a band or something like that, but regardless she popped in. She bid on a couple things in the silent auction. One being a custom skirt made by a friend, and the other a mustache ride from Bret. She won both, with a combined bid of 3000.

If you ask me, that's class. The donating, not the mustache ride.

TL;DR: Lady Gaga donated 3k to help an injured SFFD paramedic, and he now owes her a mustache ride.

my husband and myself recently lost our home, (we were staying with his father, to help, when the bank took the house) and are living in our car with an expired license (its winter here in Connecticut) we had posted on r/loans to see if we could get some help, i didn't think anything would come of it at all, especially when even our own families were either too selfish to help out, or just didn't care at all, a redditor from over seas loaned us the money we needed to re-instate his license, we hadn't slept in 3 days for fear of being either pulled over or stopped and having our home impounded. im astounded at the generosity of this community and we would like to thank you Lawerencelearning, for restoring my faith in humanity at least a little for now! this world needs more kind hearted people like you!

Gavin19 is all over the place, every day, helping out users with their various issues. The entire /r/CSSHelp and /r/ModHelp reddits would probably be full of unanswered questions if it weren't for Gavin19.

I plan to let this fill up a bit, then will eventually post it to /r/ModHelp, /r/CSSHelp, and perhaps /r/Enhancements. Hopefully I don't get in trouble for an off topic post.

This is a formal thank you and note of gratification to all the redditors out there that actually READ and upvote, downvote, and comment on the new posts! You guys rock! Thank you!!

DonutsCureCaner apparently used to be a redditor. I say "used to" because it looks like he deleted his account. So, he's gone now. At least as DCC.

Anyway, he was a good user in this community while he was here. I asked him to be a mod in r/History because he was very knowledgeable in that field. And he was a damn good mod there. I know he was also a mod at r/RedditorOfTheWeek.

He was also rather active in discussion threads in, among other places, r/Worldnews, r/WorldEvents, r/WorldPolitics, and r/Europe, as well as in r/History, and was known to drop by r/Scifi from time to time.

Karma isn't really a ranking of good users. But it can be a bit of a very rough guideline. He had earned about 80K points of comment karma. And in his case, it was all well deserved.

I know some other things about him, as he told me some stuff when I asked him about modding in r/history. But he has now deleted his account. He didn't appear to tell anyone he was doing it, but I will assume he had good reason. I am going to consider what I know now to be private communications -- even if they may have been said in a public thread. In short, I think he went bye-bye on purpose.

However, I do wish he would have said goodbye. So, if you're reading this.... It was good knowing you on-line here at reddit, DCC. You were one of the best redditors this community had. I would have liked to have been able to say farewell.

And I am just going to lay it out there one more time..... You're theories about donuts and their curative properties.... Well, the scientific community still very much disagrees with you.

Au revoir.

A couple of days ago, I found a message in my reddit inbox from reddit telling me that a user had been concerned about my mental state of mind, and that there are resources available if I struggled with bad thoughts.

I don't know which comment had triggered this user, and yes, it is true that on occasion I struggle with myself and the world, but I've done so for 30 years and I'm still here.

Nevertheless, to do something when you think there's cause for concern, deserves a heartfelt thanks, and I hope to pay that forward some day.

Thank you

So my roommate skipped out the day before the rent was due. It was extremely frightening as I have no family to speak of. My mother and sister both having passed away and no one to spot me until I could make what I need. I work two jobs and begged for an advance and hit walls of big fat no's everywhere. So I did what any intelligent person would do.. I went to reddit. I disclosed my real name and the name of the restaurant that I work at in the hopes that anyone who was feeling hungry and friendly might swing by and ask for me. That simple act is like the biggest compliment in my managements eyes and I figured if get more hours and maybe a busy section with some generous tips i might have a small chance of getting my rent paid. I had to take down my request after being harassed so I figured I wouldn't hear anything. That's when my first table walked in. They told me this guy asked for me and I had to hold myself back from dancing to the table. I thanked him a billion times for taking the time to come in and gave him his food. The bill was like 15 bucks and I was already on cloud nine cause my manager already congratulated me on my section request. I noticed he left so I went to clean his table I stood there for about 7 minutes with my mouth dropped and tears streaming down my face.

Brukhar1 left me the exact amount of money I was short. $200.00. I had to be snapped out of my shock and excuse myself to thank every available higher source for this person who came into my life for two minutes and saved me Superman style. I believe that good things come to good people.. And this guy deserves the best. Words can't express how grateful I am or how much I wish he could see how big of an impact he made in my life. I hope that nothing but amazing comes your way Brukhar1. You deserve it.

Mike (I think that was your name) you probably don't read Reddit but I'm going to thank you here anyway. Your simple act of kindness may have saved the lives of me and my girlfriend, or it may not have. At the very least you prevented us from having the worst day of our lives.

For those of you just tuning in, yesterday at 12:30am my girlfriend Amber and I had just left Summerfest in Milwaukee and walked several blocks away to our bus stop. We were heading back to our hotel when Mike picked us up in his bus on Milwaukee County Transit System. We're from a small town in Michigan and unfamilar with how the bus routes work. I'm sure you picked up on this right away, Mike. Anyway, unknown to us we were headed in the wrong direction on the last bus of the night.

I kept thinking we would loop south towards our hotel but it never happened. Finally at 1:15am or so I went up to talk to Mike since the bus was nearly empty. "Are you kidding me?" Mike questioned in a high pitch voice. It would have been funny except for the queasy feeling in my stomach. Mike proceeded to explain how we were NOT in fact going back to the hotel but to the end of his route which was on 35th and Fond de Luc. Come to find out, this is basically a really shitty part of town (the worst) by Mike's description. He suggested getting a taxi.

I frantically found and dialed three Taxi companies. Nobody would come meet us to pick us up. Mike explained that they won't come to that part of town because they get robbed all time. Almost everything shuts down at 9pm. Hell, I knew it was true when we went past a Walmart that was closed.

Mike rounded the last corner and said "Get out and sit on that bench, I'll come pick you up in my truck". Not seeing any other choice, we stepped out and sat on that bench in the dark, quite as church mice. I'm not sure if my girlfriend Amber knew I was scared to death like some little bitchy-boy, but I was. I sat there next to her, staring between the time on my cell phone and the battery that was in the red. I didn't even want to look around, ignorance is bliss.

A SUV rolled up and Mike honked his horn. We climbed in that truck, completely at his mercy and not knowing what would happen next really. Mike drove us past several prostitutes, drug dealers, and thugs. Pointing them all out and and telling us he couldn't leave us here. He drove us straight to the door of our hotel room.

Mike, you are the man! I handed you my last twenty dollars and wished I had a thousand more to give you. I'll pay it forward somehow. I love hearing stories on Reddit of outstanding displays of humanity and yours is right at the top in my book. Ridemcts.com had a place for us to submit how awesome you are and I hope that commendation makes it to you, sir. Thanks bus driver Mike.

I work at office depot in south florida and I was taking the short walk to the neighboring mcdonalds for lunch. As im passing the drive through line some guy rolls down his window and asks if I work at office depot. I told him I did and honestly dreaded the idea that he was going to bombard me with questions on my 30 min break of silence and food gorging. But instead he reaches out and hands me $10 and told me lunch was on him, he works at the corporate office and we work our asses off. He wouldn't let me say no. This gives me faith in humanity. On the off chance that he's a redditor, thank you for the free mcribs. I can't begin to tell you how appreciated free mcribs are on a stressful day.
