I'm a little bit late, but I oughta share a few words for the purple lad himself.

I barely knew Dragoneer past his profile and as the admin for Furaffinity, but what he has done for the community is nothing short of incredible.
Times have changed and things have too, but Neer has fostered something beautiful for almost 20 years, creating a place online which has stuck to its roots and kept the community at large together, with other sites falling short of the mark.

If it wasn't for Furaffinity and Neer's dedication, I, or likely many others would not have joined this fandom and been a part of something truly beautiful.
I always looked up to Dragoneer and with everyone speaking up about this, it only reinforces that. Everyone tells positive stories and how wonderful their interactions with Neer were.

I wish I knew you better, Neer.

Rest well.
