Happy Anniversary to YOU!!! Yea, I'm glad you are still here, and I completely understand what you are saying!!! I'm sorry if I have never expressed appreciation, as I am sure many of us are... it is easy to overlook those that do well! Because, as they say "the squeeky wheel gets the grease!!" I'm glad that you are a true blue USM-er, because I ejoy seeing you here, and I'd miss your replies to posts :)  |

i have missed seeing you around and i do agree some people get a heck of alot more recignition then other who DO deserve it...i admit i feel it also.... a person can only come here every few weeks while others come here every single day and are barely noticed... i do notice you around and i do really appreciate what you do...  |

Happy Anniversary! :) I wont pity you or feel sorry for you, because I think you do a good job. I know you and I have had our differences in the past, but I think we all at some point in our lives, especially when we are young, feel that way about the things we do. It's a part of growing up and it takes a lot out of us to realize that we always wont be appreciated for everything we do, like our parents always let us know they appreciated, whether its work or on here. I hope that things are going well for you and that eventually USM will change again and interest you more hun. Good Luck on your journey if you do decide to leave, but you will be missed greatly. *huge hugs*  |

I know exactly how you feel. Notice my author id number is very close to yours. I have been here just as long and also feel like it's not worth my time quite as much anymore. I mean no criticism to usm really, because it's entertained me to no end for three years too! However, I have written comment after comment also, posted stories and been a real usmer just as others and the only reason I have the one award I do is because I griped about being such a loyal and friendly usmer and not having one. I don't feel guilty about it, I honestly felt I deserved one. I feel that as much time and effort I put into this site, even though I may not be an admin or tag maker (and I tried but no one would let me!), I wish people would notice. I wanted to be an admin and a tag maker both but I guess I wasn't a good enough usmer even though I've been here three years, 3 times longer than a lot of the other admins. I've never been anything but friendly, never made any enemies or caused any trouble here at USM. I finally give up on all of that... I also just had an anniversary here at usm on july 6th I think. I, like you, will keep coming back I'm sure but not getting acknowledged makes it less enjoyable. I have seen and have one of your tags, and I know you do a great job. I love mine. People take for granted the amount of work you do and I'm sorry to see you slowly quit. I hope that USM becomes a more enjoyable place for you.  |

I know exactly how you feel, PJ. Although I haven't been here for 3 years yet, I have been here for 2 and I sometimes feel as though my efforts go unnoticed here. I LOVE this site, don't get me wrong.. it's one of the only sites I go to online, but I wish I felt more appreciated here.. I'm really sorry that you feel underappreciated.. *I* personally REALLY appreciate the tag index.. it's VERY helpful and organized.. it must have taken ages! You ARE appreciated around here, Jen, I hope you know that.. I notice your helpful and kind comments. However, I do understand where you're coming from and I wish you all the best luck in the future!  |

I am sorry to hear that you are felling underappreciated, but I can understand. But some of us appreciate you greatly! (even if we don't always let you know) I still tell people when they ask that you are the one that created my tag, and what a great job you did on it! :)  |

Okay I read this post, you put my name in it, so now I feel obligated to respond. :p I think it takes a big person to be as honest as you have been in this post about what you really are feeling. And I'm not gonna deny many things here are changing. Sometimes I don't know whether to lie down on the tracks and let the train run me over or jump on the train and try and change the course of its direction. Some things I choose to just let go and just remind myself that I did everything I could do... and other things I continue to struggle with... I feel bad that our time we use to share doesn't happen anymore. I feel like ever since I got back from London that everyone I was close with has moved on. So, I can relate to you in many ways... But simply I just feel lost here...  |

Princess Jen, I understand what you are saying and have read the other comments too. I liked the tags you created and I commented alot on the different tags you and the other tag makers made. I've only been here a little over two years and also see the changes in USM and I don't get to come here as often as I used too. (I used to have with drawal symptoms if I wasn't here at least six hours a day. lol.) Princess Jen, I admire you for writing this post and putting your heart in it. Best wishes and Happy Anniversary.  |

i know i have only been here for alittle over an year..and i kinda know what you mean...there are ppl on here that can get countless oftags remade, or all of these award...but i think how that happens is that ppl have these friends that is tag makers or award makers and those ppl give awards to those ppl. Ya they might deserve them..but everyone needs to look at all of the other ppl on here. They might be big usmers as everyone else..but they dont get anything for it. I loved the idea of being able to see tags before they were uploaded...cuz it helped the person getting the tag to see if they like it..or maybe wanted a little change here or there....or whatever. I'm not trying to be mean or anything on here..but everyone needs to get out of their little group of who they talk to all the time on here and meet everyone else on here and hey..you might like them just as much as they would their friends on here they talk to. I they talking to everyone on here that i see. No matter if they never talk back...or whatever...but that's all i'm going to say. later..and good post..happy anniversary to you PJ *huggs*  |

WOW.. I'm going on three years in December. Jen, it's been SO great with all that you've done for usm. You've made such great tags, and are very talented at making them. I think that you deserve everything you have.. I just don't know what to say. I wish you were still making tags, because the people that have tags you made, they want updates, but you won't do it.. but thats ok! I just wish that you could still do them!! It's been GREAT knowing you here on usm. You've brought smiles to SO many peoples faces. Especially mine. You're one of my friends, and you should always know that! *hugs*  |
