Before we get caught up in cities offered and acceptances, we need to take a moment to say, "Thank you, ALJDiscussion, for the herculean effort you have lavished on this board for more than a year and a half. That we are the most well-informed ALJ candidates ever is, in no small measure, due to your efforts and those of the ever-lovely Pixie.
Thank you for everything.
Morgullord

Okeydokey and Lawandorder, incredible as it may seem, as I write this, 50 people have viewed this thread but you two are the only ones to post.

That's because you said it so eloquently. I know we all (mostly all?) join in with your blog.

OK, I was going to wait til later but I will post now: Good move, Morgullord, to create this thread. We all have a lot to be grateful to ALJD and Pixie for (I know--there's something wrong with that syntax/grammar, but it's been a long day!). During this bedeviling process, the board has been something to hang on to. ALJD and Pixie have provided solace when needed, as well as created a forum for a constant interchange of ideas and info and a place to make lasting friendships. (Ihave only myself to blame for my addiction to this board!). So thanks again you two, as well as Morgullord for creating this thread.

Let me echo the sentiments of all those who have posted. I, too, believe this board is like a God-send. Even though I do not know any of you, I feel like you all are part of my family. We've shared our ups and downs on this board, and I have learned a wealth of information on this crazy, convulted process. ALJD, Pixie, Morgullord, Patriotsfan and others have given us a place to exchange ideas, debate (sometimes argue) but mostly commiserate about all things ALJ. Thanks for creating this board and allowing all of us to be able to 'keep it real...'

I totally agree with the previous postings. This process has been a real roller coaster ride. My hope is that we all attain our professional goals. Good luck to all.

I must say that I agree with all the previous sentiments. While this board has always interested me, it has been a link to any news about the ALJ process. It has been those timely tidbits and the comraderie of the members that promted me to join. For you members who are always posting- thanks. Thanks Morgullord for this thread.

Thanks to all for the support and friendship provided in this board. Special thanks to ALJD and Pixie for bringing order to the chaos and keeping the board clean and as troll free as possible. And thank you for all the trouble you will go to the next week or so, sorting out and posting the acceptances, class dates and cities. I appreciate the effort that goes into this endeavor.

I also want to chime in and thank you for giving us equal measures of information and kindness while we travel through this strange (and hopefully fruitful) journey. I think, for many of us, this process gives us flashbacks to school acceptances and waiting for Bar results, even though those events are far behind us. I can't tell you how nice its been to be able to hear from people in the same circumstances and receive helpful advice from those who have already been through it. I know the next few days will be crazy, but I'm glad we got a chance to say thanks to the folks who have helped us keep our sanity.
Van.

Thanks for everyone's kind words. ;D I think Pix would also agree that it's very gratifying to see our community's collaborative efforts had a positive impact on our members' journeys through the ALJ application process. When Pix and I started this forum almost two years ago, our goal was to create an informative and supportive environment on ALJ hiring free of trolls. Thanks to everyone's collective efforts, it appears we have largely succeeded. Thank you all. Our community would not be the way it is today without everyone's contributions. Now that we're in the final stretch of the first part of 2009 ALJ hiring cycle (assuming September will be the second part), hang in there and stay tough. Try not to get too stressed out, vent if you need to, but don't lash out at others. We're all in this together, and you're not alone. Once offers start flying, if you're one of the lucky ones, feel free to pm me with whatever information you like to share and I'll honor it. Let's keep the information flowing and the attitude positive. Good luck to all and hang in there!

Thanks, all, for your contributions - especially ALJDiscussion, Mogullord, Pixie, and Legal Beagle. At the risk of sounding maudlin, I echo the sentiments expressed here. I don't know what I would have done without the forum (i.e, you) during this process. You're the kind of people I want to work with if I ever get an offer out of this.

Thanks for this thread, morg.
This Board has provided a unique community that has been informative and comforting.
A simple word of appreciation seems paltry in the wake of Pix and ALJDisc. But I'm afraid it will have to do. Thanks, guys (oops & gals).

Yes. Thank you for this board, and for the help and information which it has provided.
This is one of those unusual situations when those of you who are responsible for starting the board may know exactly what you have created, but have no idea whom or how many you have helped. From the quiet edges of your community, thank you.
