This website would never have lasted without the help of people I've met along the way. Angels like Dallbun of the forum, who sacrficed at least a dozen gorgeous doujinshi on the altar of the scanner. People like Verthandi (Cantarella Cookie), who let me steal her translations of the duel choruses, Rushita (rushita.com), who let me steal scans of her E-Graphics cards, or folks like Anna-Neko, and Sophie (Inférieure). Both were sending me donations back when I was using Frontpage and didn't actually have a fandom section. Bonnie kindly hosted ZIP backups of the gallery for people to download long ago, when 400MB of content was a huge deal. Blade, who has donated ludicrous tons of SKU artwork to the gallery over the years. There are plenty of people who also are owed thanks for the help they've provided in the creation of the new gallery. They're credited in the gallery's FAQ, which can be found here.
   A heap big thanks goes to all those people who have donated art, fics, dreams, media, essays, you name it. This site would not be what it is, your content or mine, without the motivated boost I get every time someone wants to be part of Empty Movement.
   Empty Movement has survived some serious turns of poverty thanks to the dedication and grace of its fans. Kandrin paid for the site hosting for ohtori.nu at a time when I didn't have the money myself. He hosted it for over a year, and I can't thank him enough. Sophie, Jon Kade, Kien Voong, and Ivy B, donated their own cash to the site in 2003 when I had none to keep it up with, and since, people have donated to support the enormous cost of acquiring the content I want to offer; the best gallery, the best resources, the best info. Thanks satyreyes, Dallbun, Anji, cstratch, TheOnlyFlorence, and rhyaniwyn, who donated to the cause of acquiring the newest SKU swag from Japan and a scanner to bring to the rest of you with.
   Obviously, a huge shout out is owed to the amazing folks at In the Rose Garden, a community I never thought would happen, that has enriched my life and literally taken me places I might never have gone. Thanks to all of you, and especially satyreyes, who is the best god damn forum moderator in the world. Fairer and more attentive, frankly, than either Yasha or myself. You're a beautiful person, and an awesome fan. Thanks also to Decrescent Daytripper, our newest mod, and partner in crime.
   And of course, I can't get away with not mentioning Yasha. Light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Ya. Sha. I would never have picked the site back up again years ago without her encouragement, and with her Empty Movement has grown tremendously, past a fansite, to a community. To something I'm proud of, every day. Also, I'm married to her. My absolute best friend. Someone amazing enough to cross a border for. To plunge yourself into half a year of bitter winter for. We would trip over each other to dive on Akio and Touga if they were real.
