And I will start with one of many I am likely to tell you all about during the course of this thread...

Alanna. (pinacolada)
This wonderful lady in Knights clothing came to my rescue today. She visited with me at home, brought us an awesome snow cone maker for the baby (and us ) to enjoy cold icey yummy treats while she heals. Took my older Daughter Aileen out for several hours of walk and play time so that I could get some much needed nap time in while baby took her nap. My knight in shining pin armor today was selflessly kind and generous with her time so that we as a family could get a much needed break.

Thank you Alanna! From the bottom of my heart!
 
5* rating for subject alone. I LOVE positive threads! I have not had much interaction with members however a certain Maiden(lady Knight?) offered to make signatures for anyone interested and that to me was definitely note worthy.

Dizpinfreak you are outed as an awesome member!

This is the BEST thing I've heard all day :)
 
I have a lot of people who I would like to put on this list, everyone here is so nice I want to nominate you all! but... here is my short list

Docfish2u - David is so nice, he always helps out others when they are in need.
TheOtherSteve - Steve helped me out when I could not buy a pin, by purchasing it and letting me pay him back later. I really appreciate it to this day. He has also been very generous to a lot of other members. He makes the forum a little bit brighter!
MickeyMousje - Rachel kindly helped me out, as well as tons of others getting DLP pins, and is an overall sweet gal. eyhahndisney - Casey helped me and another member out when a package was lost in the mail. So kind! They did not have to do this! CrushedBubbles - Erika is the nicest, in addition to sending out zaps, she also helped me and the other member out when the package was lost in the mail.
lovetbell - Usha, my fellow tinkerbell fan has helped me out with my pixie hollow collection greatly. I really appreciated it.
lost-sun-princess - J'aimie has been a great friend to me when I needed it the most... I cannot thank her enough...
Rasputin - Darris is the most outrageously generous person, EVER. He helped me get one of my ultimate grail's, and a lot of other member's grails! I cannot thank him enough!
Romancing_Train - Carissa was my first ever person I set up a trade with here on DPF. She is a great friend to me, and she truly made me feel welcome to the pin forum.
 
Well,
I will do one for the moment.
My Knight In Shining Armour is:
Thel91

When the Rapunzel PTDs came out, I asked Thel if she was getting any and if she wanted to trade with me for it. She laid one aside for me and we were working out a trade. Eventually, I PM her back and she said she was sending it to me. Who does that!? (Thel does ;) ) She definitely deserves some pin karma and hopefully this summer I can send the karma back to her. ;)
Another instance was when I traded Thel for a pin to zap someone. She was so kind to want to trade with me in the first place, and then when our trade was set, she said what PODM Lonesome Ghost scene out of these do you want? My goodness! I was in shock! She gave me a PODM which I cannot still believe.
Other times she has traded, she has been so fair and fun to talk to! She is such a wonderful member of the DPF community and I am so happy to have gotten to know her through the forum :)
Thank you Thel! <3
 
My next Knight In Shinning Armour is:
lost-sun-princess

What can I say? So much!
J'aimie,
I love talking to you and you are always someone who I can turn to! I love sharing stories with her. She is a shoulder to lie on when I need advice.
Oh, and I think when she first came on the forum, I had a feeling we were going to connect really well.
We had so much fun with the Valentine Exchange between us and I loved finding Tangled items for her. It is so amazing to hear the reasons why she loves Tangled so much which is truly magical.
I can absolutely call her a friend and hope to meet her some day soon :)

Both of team Pinacolada are terrific, and Alanna is truly a knightness how wonderful she is. I saw the same kindness in the chocolate box line, she played with the kids and when another member showed up yo the line late night she took his girls to the restroom and gave them lots of attention while thier dad set things up. She is a super wonderful person. Im adding a vote for this gem of a lady.
 
I was kind of hoping for a DPF version of the sailor moon soundtrack when I clicked on this.

I mean this is way better...

but it would have been cool.
 
Another Knight In shining Armour:
Disneygirl333
Maya is just so amazing, someone who I can ask for advice.
It is really funny that when I had my first sale, Maya PMed me about a Tangled PODM and wanting to buy it. That was the first time we really talked and I am so glad she bought my PODM too or else I might not have gotten to know her sooner! ;) She is such a lovely person on the forum and so funny with all of her GIFs she puts in her posts. I love it, she makes me laugh when I need some happiness in my life. I can't thank her enough for the support she gives!
She is such a great friend!
Love,
Erika

Awe... Shucks Erika. (kicks rocks). Thank you!!! I feel honored to be mentioned on here! <3
 
I nominate Garret for Knighthood. Story: When I first joined this forum, I wasn't very active. Recently I started hanging in chat, but I knew very few people. Garret kindly agreed to become my belonging, which helped me feel like I fit in with the forum better.
Okay, I'm also nominating him because owning a knight would be cool :)

And in regards to other nominations... As a Villain, I think Darris needs the title of Dark Knight instead.
 
In no particular order:

I'd like to recognize jadestarr as my first knight. I had the honor of meeting Jade in person a few weeks ago and she just exudes warmth, generosity, fun and joy, even despite the pain she's often in due to a neck injury. She's offered me incredible insight and advice to achieve one of my ultimate goals, she cares so much for me and my family, and she's one of the most generous and selfless people I've ever had the privilege of knowing. Jade, you're truly an amazing friend and I hope to be your neighbor soon.

My second knight is BugCatcherJenna, my twin down in Texas. This girl keeps me sane during long work days, keeps her eyes open for me to help build and complete my Tangled collection (not just pins!), and has become one of my chief confidantes. I adore this girl and I always know I can turn to her for a vent session or an often inappropriate laugh. <3

Third, Miss Erika, crushedbubbles, one of the first people I met at DPF. I've met no one sweeter than Erika. She is the embodiment of "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" - this girl wouldn't hurt a fly, and her generosity, genuine nature and love of her friends is what makes her a stand-out here at DPF. She's my Valentine 365 days a year.

Fourth, Matt, CaptainHookFan, for helping make the dream of a New England pin gathering a reality. He's worked tirelessly to help orchestrate our event on 3/10, and it's going to be a spectacular day for all of us pin traders here in frigid New England. Matt, thank you for becoming a great friend to me, and I'm so excited for you as you start your next adventure this fall!

Fifth (and last for now, because I have so many more I want to recognize but I want to give others a turn, too!), ElysionsPrincess, and co-captain of Team Happy. She's had so many obstacles thrown at her over the past few weeks and she always manages to come out on top. She's humble, talented and kind. She's a peacemaker, and always goes into a conversation assuming positive intent of everyone in it. Alex has been an absolute joy to get to know and to befriend, and I am lucky to have her on my team. <3

... Okay, more I want to knight, but I want to read everyone else's, too!! Great thread, Kristine!!
 
Hey, not for nothing, but I believe I am the only one who has truly been knighted here.

Sir David, Grail Slayer Knight of DPF

I was knighted by the Snow_queen.

But all seriousness aside, there are 2 kings of DPF in my humble opinion, Rasputin for his unbelievable amount of grail zaps and my role model TheOtherSteve who is the first person I saw zapping people with amazing zaps.

There are a lot of really great people who have been so nice here, Romancing_Train who's RAK attack got me started with zapping, Thel91 is one of the sweetest people, always getting things for people at cost, PinAColad is catching up quick with their wonderful zapping, Disneycrazee who stood in line for me twice to be sure to get me dsf pins I wanted so badly and then traded both sets to me for very little. I know I am forgetting a ton of people!!! This whole community is getting much nicer and more giving since the zapping got started. It is really nice to see new people jump right in and continue and improve the traditions.

Thank you to everybody who is so wonderful and even the ones that are not(makes it much easier to appreciate the good ones). There have been so many wonderful people who have helped us get our grail pins and even pins we just really want. We feel very blessed by being part of this great bunch of people.

Long live the zaps!!!
 
Snow Queen. She was so cute with that post on the thank you thread in zaps. It is actually part of what got my brain twisting and turning for "knights" Maybe we can have her start "knighting" folks who deserve it.

I have an excellent story of why you deserve knighthood coming David. i was saving it for a thread bump at a later time. :)
 
I have to knight Catz.
She did a pretty one sided trade in my favour for one of my holy grails, herc and meg on the motorbike. I then heard back from her that my package had been damage in transit and the pins had fallen out / been stolen. I offered to send her pin back or re-trade and we currently have an IOU going until she interested in something I have. I want to thank her once more for her kindness in the first place, then giving me the benefit of the doubt and letting me keep one of my dream pins. I cannot wait to repay her.
 
I could do so many of these:
My next one is Mickeymousje

Rachel has been such a darling friend to me and many other members of the DPF community. She is so generous and kind. What all members should strive to be like. She helped me with some DLP pins and I can't thank her enough for that. She deserves all of the best! She is such a great member of the pin trading community and she is most importantly, a great friend :)
:hug:

Although there are plenty more people I could mention, even if you weren't, you are still so important to me :) Don't ever forget that! I love you all and am so happy to have gotten to know you all!
 
ours is:

Merryweather

She is the one person I get cards from for every holiday, reaches out when she thinks something is wrong
and ALWAYS snipes for my grails (because she is a pro LOL)

She is kind and is constantly calling or emailing to see how we are doing. I appreciate this because there has been a lot going on
and she is always someone I look forward to hearing.

Knight #2 Fireheadfred

Skyping is not enough with this duo, we have to hear from them EVERYDAY!
they always have kind words and send us UK chocolate (BOMB)
Sent me a prince phiilip and aurora drawing that made my day!

LOVE THESE PEOPLE!!! (:
