Don't be so dramatic, lots of people said thank yous and that they liked the patch, myself included. The only difference is we said our thank yous and said what we liked within posts with titles such as "1.21 thoughts?" rather than in posts such as "ZOMG THANK YOU MR. SQUARE EEEENIX!".

You can be thankful and say positive things without creating an entirely new thread purely based on everyone typing a generic "thank you" etc. I prefer to say positive things in threads that have a little more meat to them x.x. It gives me the chance to comment on specific things I like that they've done.
