I was going to do this tomorrow since that's the day it says I actually signed up. But since I got the trophy now it seems appropriate to me. Would you look at this trophy - Watcher of Time:
You've been registered for nine years now! Think you can make it to a decade?
I mean c'mon. I've made it this far. I'm sure another year won't kill me (I hope!).
So to officially kick this thing off...
Hiya, gang. Batm...LoD, reporting in. Here to celebrate and appreciate nine years spent amongst the forums. 9 flippin' years! That's longer than I've been with my fiancée (don't tell her though, she thinks she's my first love). I'm kidding...kind of.
Where do I begin?
Well, it's great to still be here. I guess that's a good start. This place has always been special to me, and it's the only online community that I genuinely care about. I am over on REN, but I never had the same connection for the RE games as I did for the DMC ones. And over these past nine years I've got to be a part of this community, and I'm extremely glad that I joined up all of those years ago. There's been a lot of good memories that I've had here. A few bad ones too, but that's to be expected (it can't all be happy days), and I always focus on the positives anyway.
This place has changed a lot since I first started out here (still upset about the arcade...jk) what with redesigns and members coming and going. I almost feel like part of the decor now. But honestly, I've grown up with this site. When I first joined I was this immature 16 year old that was posting silly things, and just much more of an idiot than I am now (believe it or not). But over the years I've enjoyed maturing along with this forum just as I've grown up in real life and dealt with more responsibilities. I don't think I could've been a moderator the first few years I was here because I didn't have the experience, maturity and the capability of handling responsibilities like I do now. It's been an enjoyable experience sharing my thoughts and feelings with the amazing people here, and making friends and helping others out. I've got a lot to be thankful for;
I'm glad that we have such a great and generally well-behaved community here, with a lot of incredibly friendly and helpful members. You really help to make it a pleasant atmosphere, and we can't thank you guys enough for it. We honestly can't.
And before I wrap things up, I'd also just like to personally say thanks to the rest of the staff here. You guys do a wonderful job with moderating this forum (I should know), and you put a lot of hard work into what you do to keep this place running smoothly. It doesn't go unappreciated, so thank you immensely!
Cheers for all the good times dmc.org. You're all a great bunch of people, and it's a wonderful community. And I'm glad that I'm a part of it. As I hopefully will be for many more years to come. What else can I possibly say?...
...Nothing =) <3
