This isn't really a memory per se but it always made me feel important when @JonT starred my posts. I felt like I had made it to the big time hahaha
Cheers @JonT! You'll be missed!
What can we say about @JonT ? He was a man, a moderator, a man who moderated. He has moved on, but we will always have his live streams with @hollboll. Sadly, there weren't nearly enough of them.
And now, tip your bottles, it's time to pour one out for our homie.

I know it's beer @marklog, but git off the ground, boy!
@mfladd Hepburn wins hands down. Much classier.
@Teripie Classy is not my style. I prefer childish and trashy. That's how I roll. (but then again everyone already knows that)
@mfladd
@jaremelz Get off my trash - this was not consensual!
@mfladd You know your eyes are more like.....
@jaremelz I was thinking more like this..
@mfladd More like
@jaremelz completely acceptable.
My favorite @JonT memories were when he would always say that prizes were coming. The guy was a straight shooter and never lied. They are certainly coming...eventually. He was always full of fun ideas and engagement but when it came down to finishing an event with the distribution of prizes, the man knew that if prizes were sent, the fun would end. @JonT was the real prize all along.
@studerc That is my favorite @JonT memory too. Good old JonT, he was nice enough to wait until everyone's "but I might not be at that address if you ship it now!" crises had passed, and then waited some more just to be sure. And then waited some more.
i favorite story about @JonT is a recent one. in fact, probably as recent as this past saturday or sunday. it was really funny that after he left, @JonT turned off his email notifications for @ mentions and had the last laugh on all of us.
@JonT in a series of flashbacks:
@JonT expressing himself with gifs gifs gifs.
@JonT wearing a red clown nose while opening ridiculous wedding gifts.
@JonT looking so ecstatic in a selfie with @lau, his fiancée.
@JonT Sharing games that were maddeningly hard.
@JonT Waxing philosophical about having his ashes launched into space.
@JonT Challenging our complacency with literature and thought-provoking ideas.
So many moments that are always here in my memory, @JonT
Oh, yeah, and beer. I forgot to mention beer. He loved it.
And the very first video where @JonT was interviewed. He was endearingly nervous.
And the sad sad day (today) when @JonT's flask dissolved into a K. He is truly one with this community.
@Starblind's awesome speech about future @JonT.
@JonT's hilarious gift giving spree in the Built NY thread
@dashcloud He did have fun with that!
@dashcloud that was pretty great.
I, along with 5 of my most trusty friends, were probably some of the very few people who actually received a "prize" from @JonT. It took 7 months, but, hey, late is better than never.
Good times
