I've been a member of 667 for probably too long now, I haven't reread the books in a long time, I bought a couple from the new series but haven't really read them yet, I rarely venture into the more Snickety discussion zones, but I keep coming back here.
The real reason for that? I love you guys. I don't know all of you, but those of you that I have got to know, I know are good people.
From just getting to know each other over various forum threads, then taking it to PMs when things get too off topic, to the AIM chatroom we'd hang out in every day.
From Skype group calls playing bass guitar with Hermedy, to Google Hangouts playing board and card games with Pandora and Bandit.
From catching up with Trish at a US music festival and escaping before I accidentally heard some of Amanda Palmer's music, to catching up with more local 667ers in my own country, playing N64 with PJ the day before my father's wedding, having Shelly over to watch Buffy and Cabin in the Woods for the nth time, A buying me a hot chocolate in Perth because I'd run out of holiday funds, eating subway with Charlie and Lemona last Christmas, etc, etc.
From multi page stream of consciousness letters and greeting cards which I deliberatly chose the wrong occasion for, to the international phones calls made when I was feeling particularly low at certain times in my life, when it didn't feel like there was anyone close to me in the real world, and the best part was that you people enjoyed talking to me, some even loved me, as opposed to the expected response of "ickle off and stop being so weird".
I'm not naming names because I'll never finish, but I am using this moment to thank and apologise to everyone who has tolerated me in any way over the last 12 years, I love you all, you've helped me get through some bad times, and some of you are even now helping me through my current bad times, I thank you once again.
It's been so long I don't recall my first post, I believe I've made a few 'greetings' threads but not as myself. However my earliest memory of this place is PennyRoyal complimenting me on my avatar at the time, possibly my first avatar, it was the picture on the album cover of Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós, so now you know that even back then I had amazing taste in music.
Also I said I wasn't going to name names, but a special mention has to be made for a small number of people, MambaduMal, Trish, Rellim & Pandora. Plus Hermedy, I've called him 'the worst' on many occasions, mostly warrented, but he made this place and that's gotta count for something.
