yo beav. I wanted to start off by echoing gustav, I know I've talked a lot more shit to you and about you than you deserved and from the bottom of my heart I apologize for that. You're legitimately one of the most earnest, hard-working, dedicated people I've met in my time in sim leagues, and I appreciate what you've given to this league more than I could ever tell you.
If you hadn't gone out and drafted Marvin Harding, put in all the work you did to keep me engaged and eventually become my best friend in this community, I would not be here right now. There is no doubt of that. I owe the best run I've ever had in sim leagues, the most fun I've ever had in sim leagues, the best people I've ever met in sim leagues, all to you.
Something I've said of you a few times that I don't think I said enough to you is that I wholeheartedly believe the VHL would not be here without your efforts. You took a community that meant a lot to a small group of people that slowly faded over time and devolved into toxic chaos, and you played a massive part in an explosion of membership and engagement. You did all this while taking constant flak from people and toughed it out longer then I would expect anybody to be able to. Thanks to you, my great memories of VHL history from years ago aren't just an irrelevant footnote in sim league history. I struggle to put into words how much I appreciate that, alongside everything else you gave to the league.
Once again, thank you for everything you've given the league beaviss. In my eyes you are the most impactful person to ever grace the league. I hope you stick around but I understand if you don't.
