6 years.

6 years ago I was a 16 year old Junior in highschool, who didn't really do anything except for play video games all day. Quickly this site became a somewhat escape for me. Logging in, chatting with the people I used to talk to back in the day and browsing the forums, and grinding some badges on here.

I don't get on nearly as much as I used to, lifes busy and kinda ****, and if I'm here then I'm in the Shoutbox. Whether it's just talking shit on someone, spamming away with others or sitting AFK while I'm playing a game in the background. But I do still like to hang around and I probably will be for awhile still. Even after some long hiatuses, I make my way back to you nerds.

---

The following users are people that I know still use the site regularly that I would like to thank and acknowledge for being people I can somewhat call an "internet friend";

---

The next list of people are users that I got to know over the years, but I don't think are active here anymore, because I'd still like to acknowledge those few who I can remember off the top of my head;

I unfortunately don't have the old screenshots that I had saved on my laptop. Had years worth on there, and I haven't been as active since I've gotten my new PC. But here's a few of the keepers I got saved from you nerds;

Thanks everyone for everything over the last 6 years. Would not have thought I'd still be coming on this site 6 years later just to sit and chat with some people.It's an awesome community, and I'm glad to have been a part of it for as long as I have. I don't really make milestones topics anymore except for the date joined anniversary, so I guess I'll see you all in another year if I'm still poking around.

Also, don't forget to make fun of the weebs.

Toodles.
