{{DTN|time=07:06, December 22, 2010 (UTC)|text=<small>For once,</small> I'm going to be brief. 2010 has nearly come and gone, and we have lost a lot of good members of our wiki and IRC community. As desired by the community of the IRC channels of this wiki and those related to it, it has been decided that a remembrance compilation be arranged for two specific users who had to leave the wiki against their will; not of their own accord. Moderator and channel operator Xion4ever and channel operator and programming assistant Sapharus are two users who fit these criteria.

The following messages shall be delivered to Sapharus and Xion4ever. Feel free to post good memories, wishes for a brighter future, and of course happy holidays. We want to remember all of the users who have put even one edit into this wiki, be they channel operators/moderators or not. We can only hope that more stunning, awesome users like these two will come again to help our wiki become an even more comprehensive database.

And now, a word from maggosh, the man who assisted me in putting this together:}}

{{Maggosh|nathan=When I first joined the Wiki, Xion and Saph both made me feel welcome. They were - and are - two of the few people of this wiki who make it feel more...human; made it feel lively and a place to feel at home. Xion was the one who welcomed me to the wiki. Saph was that "oddball" you could always laugh with. They are, to this day, two of my best friends. And I know I'm not alone when I say it's sad to see they're not here like they were before. We all miss them. All I can say now is...I hope for the best for them. Xion4ever, Sapharus...goodbye, and good luck.}}
{{KrytenKoro|Can't wait for you guys to come back.}}
Wait a minute, if they left against their will, were they blocked? [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] 16:03, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

== Messages for Sapharus ==
{{SilverCrono|time=18:08, December 22, 2010 (UTC)|text=Ah, Sapharus. I have so many good memories of her.

When I first started going to #wikia-kingdomhearts, she was always there. Seriously, ''always''. She rarely jumped in the conversation(s), but when she did, everyone listened. We all respected her, and loved her. She was the epitome - no, the ''poster girl'' - of moderators and channel operators. When she talked, we listened. If she told us to jump, we didn't ask how high. We f*cking ''jumped''.

What I'm trying to say is that Sapheh is unrivaled. No other user will ever be like Saphiroth. We will always love you, Sapharus. Happy holidays, and I hope you can one day come back.}}
{{LapisScarab|time=02:42, December 23, 2010 (UTC)|text=As someone who does not going on the IRC often, I do not know Sapharus personally, but everything I've sen her do and say have inspired nothing but confidence in her. The coding she handles already makes me look up to her a bit, and she's got to be good to police a place as hectic (by which I mean it confuses me, not that it's bad) as the IRC. Best of luck to you Sapharus!}}
{{HexedTalk|text= I'm personally not fond of making long-ass sappy things... So I'll try and keep this short. Saphy, I miss you, we all do. Good ol' #lolkick isn't really the same without you. Best of luck with where life will take you. Hopefully back to us. (: }}
{{Dan da Man36|time=13:36, December 23, 2010 (UTC)|xmas=So many random times we've shared... I still enjoy receiving the occasional MemoServ message from you, hope you return to our midst soon! =)}}
{{Keyblade0|time=21:54, December 23, 2010 (UTC)|text=I don't really know Sapharus, but as we all say, see you soon, have a good life, Merry christmas, and a happy new year! Oh, yeah, MERRY FESTIVUS!!}}
{{AROS|time=14:53|text=I don't know much about Sapharus, but judeging by all of the things that people have said about her, I can't help but feel like I've known her forever, too. So Saphs (if I can call you that), I wish you the best of luck, the best of chances (such as comeing back to us), and a very Merry Christmas (Oh, and Merry Festivus, whatever that is)!}}

{{ANX219|time=18:00, December 22, 2010 (UTC)|aquasad=She was the one helping me out with my talk bubbles. She taught me how to make the codings shorter. Now, I have passed that on to some people and they pass it on. We will miss you dearly. --ANX219}}
{{SilverCrono|time=18:08, December 22, 2010 (UTC)|text=I don't know much about Xion, but I've seen her around a few times. On the IRC, she's as respected as Sapheh. Even though she calms us down (and doesn't let me kill goats when I'm around her... >.>), we are always excited around her. I don't know her as well as Sapheh, so... come back soon, Xion.}}
{{ErryTalk|time=18:51, December 22, 2010 (UTC)|eziotext=I always loved Xion when she came onto the IRC, albeit she rarely showed whenever I was on. But we had some great times here and there. I wish her well.}}
{{LapisScarab|time=02:46, December 23, 2010 (UTC)|happytext=Xion4ever is an extremely kind user and probably responsible for at leats a third of my edits. I might not have bothered with any of the weapon design sections if not for her asking me to, and that project branched off into several other things. When I was still relatively new, she let me know when I was going overboard with talk page conversations and told me about the IRC. While I don't go on the IRC much, thanks to her I know what to tell other users that may be going a bit too far. Xion4ever made me a better editor.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year to you, Xion, and I wish you all the luck iin the world!}}
{{HexedTalk|text=Xion, I don't particularly know why, but I've always felt now that I never really talked to you much while you were still around. I really regret that. Hopefully we'll speak in the future moreso than we did in the past. }}
{{Dan da Man36|time=13:38, December 23, 2010 (UTC)|xmas=Xion, you've always been the mother-figure to the IRC, and like Saph, we've shared so many random times, really hope to see you back soon! =)}}
{{Chitalian8|time=17:01, December 23, 2010 (UTC)|beat= Adding on to Dan, not just the mother figure to the IRC, one of the mother figures of the whole wiki. You were (are?) an excellent staff member, as well as a member of the community.}}
{{Keyblade0|time=21:54, December 23, 2010 (UTC)|text=Xioin4ever is an excellant user, and we hope to see her soon. May she have a good life, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! Oh yeah, MERRY FESTIVUS!!!}}

{{AROS|time=14:58|text=Xion4ever, I didn't know you much, but I probably recognized you a lot more than I did Saphs (sorry Saphs), so I still miss you as much as everyone else. And I might not be able to remember much, but I'm  very sure that I would agree to everyone else's coments about you being the Mother-Figure of the wiki, and only now do I realize how appropriate your user name really is, because like Xion, you may be gone, but your memories are still here (except this is an archive, so we can find them easier lol), and we anticipate your hopeful return. So, good luck, come back soon, and Merry Christmas (Would somebody PLEASE tell me what Festivus is!?)!}}

{{Chitalian8|time=16:07, December 24, 2010 (UTC)|text= Festivus is a holiday that George's father made up in the popular sitcom ''Seinfeld'', to make a long story short. It is basically Christmas without all the religious and commercial aspects. Key points of Festivus are the Airing of Grievances and the Feats of Strength.}}

-{{Xion4ever|time=22:20, December 29, 2010 (UTC)|happytext=Where to begin, Saph. We've had a lot of fun and laughs, such as lolcannon-ing on #lolkick (still haven't orgainized that last log on your userpage. >>;). You are an amazing channel operator/user, but an even better best friend. Honestly, Saph, you've done a lot, both for myself and for the Wiki/IRC. I truly cannot put to words how awesome you are. You are greatly missed during your inactivity, but I know you'll make up for the lost time in the future. Special noteworthy thanks to you for getting me hooked on Brutal Mario (I wouldn't be spamming "All hail Chameleon Dragon!" if you hadn't shown me the video), IWBTG, and the books of Ayn Rand (Anthem was the suggestion, which lead to a collection), and scaring the crap out of me with your random computer game links. This message is short and cannot fully explain how epic you are, but I pray this suffices for the present time. Until we run across each other on the IRC: See you later, and thanks for everything! ^_^}}

-==Message from Xion4ever to the Wiki Community==
-{{Xion4ever|time=22:05, December 29, 2010 (UTC)|happytext=Geez, you guys make it sound like I'll never return. ^_^; You guys certainly know how to make a user's day-no, year. ^_^ But honesly, guys...I'm speechless. I am honored and forever in apprecation of what you guys did just here. Not sure if Saph has seen this, but I'm sure she's just as pleased. Although my activity is very low, I will try harder to check in here during the week. Not making any promises that it will happen, but I do promise you that I will make more attempts. Also, allow me to make this without all the extra drama moments: I am <big>NEVER</big> leaving this Wiki. Never. You will literally have to kill me before I leave this place. Regardless of where you guys go, I will follow (stalker much? >>). That is a promise! Even if I do get discovered and am "computer-less" until I'm 18, I will never leave this place. So, until that day comes, please continue to be patient. I'm sorry for my inactivity and failure to carry out my part here (both Wiki, Staff, IRC, and Channel OP wise).
-Before I go, I also want to tell you guys something: First, there's no way in words I can fully describe this, Secondly,
-<big><big>YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!</big></big>
-Never in my "Wiki-Career" have I seen such a great, caring, considerate, closely-knit community. Honestly, guys. Yes, we've had our rough times, but we've passed them and have gotten stronger. I look back on the days when I first joined the Wiki and compare it to today's and...wow. Simply, wow. We [all] have make so much improvement! So thanks, to you guys for making this the best, and only place I'd like to be!
-Finally, to conclude this joyful rant, I want to remember all our editors who are currently inactive such as [[User:BebopKate|Kate]], [[User:Yer mom|Mommy]], [[User:Xiggie|Xiggie]], and to anyone else I may have missed. Let's face it, guys- without them, our present state could not have been obtained as smoothly. Again, I thank you all. Long live the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki!
-P.S. '''All hail Chameleon Dragon!'''
