I've been thinking all day on what to say or should I say anything.. what has not already been said?

Thank you so very much Dragoneer, you put your heart and soul into building a pillar of the fandom with many others. You will be missed and your work will not be forgotten.

I had my first account on FA in 2005, this current one here was made in 2006 and I've stuck around through the drama that came and went. Furaffinity has become a constant in my life over the past nearly 20 years, through many life hardships and changes. FA has always been there for me, whether it was meeting new great people, or just art and stories that might cheer me up during those hard times. Many furry sites have come and gone, and others still around but do not have the population and support as FA.

Like it or not, FA is a pillar of the furry community, and I am thankful that Dragoneer held that line and ensured this community always had a home. I never had the opportunity to get to know Dragoneer on a personal level, though throughout my time here I had chatted and interacted with him on many occasions, and that willingness was always appreciated. I know there is a lot of worry over the fate of FA, I worry too. Dragoneer put so much of himself and resources into FA through countless rough patches, along with many others that made this all happen and thrive.

I know this might seem a bit cringe, but I would highly suggest that if you can comfortably afford the FA subscription, consider doing so. Finances have always been a struggle with the ever growing user base, increased attacks, and development to keep this place a home for all of us.
