A fox for you!
[edit]Hi SoWhy,
The "WikiLove Fox" feature is comparatively new; it was introduced since we last met on-wiki, I think. Courtesy ping TheresNoTime.
I just thought about you when declining to add information about my adminship to my user page. Do you remember Special:Diff/925568723?
Time flies. I hope you're doing well!

- Aww. Sorry. Yeah, fine but busy sounds like my life too. I can't complain. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:25, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
