End of the year compliments time because YFWE has a few hours before going out and celebrating the new year!
Sooooo, it's been a weird year, eh? And I don't mean just on this forum... in general, it was pretty crazy. Not the best year for me in general, but I'm an optimistic person, so I'm sure next year will be great.
Anyway, constantly I'm so surprised that this forum is still around, not that I'm complaining in the slightest. This was the first major forum I joined back in 2005, and I've been seeing over this place for over four years now... weird to think that when I joined, I was barely starting out high school, and now here I am nearly halfway into college, LOL. But yeah, I want to thank y'all who have stuck around through the years for doing so. It's great to talk to everyone here from time to time like we once did... and for those who I don't talk to, add me on MSN sometime and just say hello!
Also, I apologize to anyone I've pissed off throughout 2009! I don't think I've upset anyone in a while, but I know there was a period early in the year where I was. Would like to start fresh in 2010 if the rest of you are willing. If you'd rather hold on to grudges, though, so be it. C:
ALRIGHT, SO: thought I'd give some individual compliments (once again, I have a few hours!) as well.
ATECOM: You mah dawg. I love our MSN conversations so, so much, even if I don't reply sometimes, LOL. You're a lovely person to run the place with and I hope you'll continue to mess with the censors and impersonate me in the Cbox next year as well!
RAFFI: You're pretty much my longest friend here and I love you so. You need to get on here more often, and for God's sake, UPDATE ATN OR SOMETHING. I miss your writing. :C
RWAN: We need to talk more like we used to. You are a lovely-ass person and I miss calling you Ewan McGregor. You ALSO need to write more. :3
ASH: BETCH, SAME AS ABOVE, WRITE MORE BECAUSE I MISS IT. Also, I need you to help me sort through all the vampire/werewolf literature and television shows and tell me what's good... I feel like you're the best one to ask, LOL. I'm in that kind of mood right now.
MAXPOWER: You're just too great for words. You'll always be member of the year in my heart.
ALAN: Mother of God, please keep coming here. You don't post often but when you do, you generally crack me up.
LEWIS: I'm glad you're still around here. It's always fun to see your new takes on music and such... also, I'm quite envious that you'll be heading to Big Day Out this coming year. :>
KOKUSHO: I love that you're still around here after all these years. Your posts are always entertaining to read, I mean it. Also appreciate your insight on some things I have no clue about.
CLONE: I'll be honest, I remember when you annoyed the heck outta me because of your spelling errors, LOL. But I've learned to live with them, and you're a pretty cool dude and definitely deserving of Member of the Year. Thanks for what you do with the ADJL episode website as well, I really appreciate it.
ITALIAN: Same as Kokusho, glad you're still around. I know I pissed you off earlier in the year and you don't like me all too much, but I realize that that's never going to change, so there isn't much I can do except be myself, which involves not hating anyone. So, whatever. I'm glad you're still here posting; the place would be incredibly quiet without you. You're a good dude.
DUP: Thank you so much for uploading all the ADJL episodes, you've done a great service to the community. I hope you'll continue to stick around; it's been fun posting with you.
OREIUS: You're a very friendly person and I'm sure all the new members you welcome and the members you wish happy birthdays to really appreciate it.
RANDOMNAME123: Don't know you as well since you haven't been here as long, but you seem pretty cool. Thanks a lot for joining the site!
RAFIKI: Same with you, I know you're relatively new, but I'm glad you joined. Your posts seem pretty intelligent for the most part, and I'm looking forward to continuing to post with you!
ALYSSA: Glad you decided to return, we're happy to have you back!! :>
PROTOSS: You've got a really awesome imagination. I hope that book you were working on is going well!
VERONIKA: Miss lady, you don't get on here OR TLKPF much anymore, and I think that's just unacceptable. You need to visit more often. :3
DREAMCATCHER: Same as Veronika, come back more often, I miss you. :>
VAKAMA: Really cool to see you coming here after all these years. Wish you'd post a little more!!
MISYOU2: Glad to see you joined! It's always nice to have someone else around who still enjoys talking about ADJL.
MADISEN: You only sign on once in a blue moon anymore... I enjoy our random MSN conversations, though.
CALIDRAG: Good to see you back again, had wondered where you'd run off to. Hope you're here to stay this time!
JUNO: You're a great artist, I really enjoy seeing your updates when they come.
INDIANDRAGON: I've enjoyed talking with you so far since you've joined! You seem like a pretty cool person.
DRAGONBOY: Can't say much about you since you only post in the Wrestling thread, but I'm glad you're here.
ULTRALOCO and 13THDRAGON: I see you guys sign on often but rarely post anymore... you should more often!
MANOFEVIL: See you over at RSnet from time to time too.. glad you've stuck around through the years. :>
KRUDD: Glad to see you're signing on more often. Looking forward to continuing to post with you in the Music section predominantly!
NEWZEALANDDRAGON: Good to see you still sign on from time to time. Been fun posting with you.
MANICSPIKE: Don't see you around too often... wish you'd stop by a little more often!
NICK: nggr, I see you on Facebook all the time, but get yo a
ss on here more often too, mmkay?
COMMANDERHAVOC: Hope you'll stop by a bit more, I'm sure the RP section misses you. :>
STINGRAY: You're a pretty gifted writer. I hope you'll keep going with it and not stop now.
DA REAL AMDRAG: I enjoy your posts, even if some don't. Good to see you here.
EVERYONE ELSE: I'm sorry I couldn't touch on everyone.. I tried to remember everyone I could, especially those who post and sign in often. I hate leaving people out, though, so I'm sorry if I did. Y'all make this place fun, though. So if I did miss you, I'd like to thank you too for being around here and keeping this forum alive.
Alright, that's all. Happy New Year, everyone. Here's to a great 2010!
