Default One Year

Today's my one year anniversary of being here. So, I wanted to look back on things and reflect, as well as put some suggestions out there and thank a few people.

Well, I personally think I've come a long way. When I first joined I was an idiot. I'd flame people in TGB just because I thought it was cool. Whored the game threads, and did stupid ****. As things went on I played some TWG, spent time in Critical Thinking, and started working on graphics. I learned one thing from everyone who flames a lot: Think before you speak. It's a lot easier to type out an entire flamed-up post, and then hit ctrl+a+backspace and feel just as satisfied. So, thanks, to everyone who's flamed me.

I definitly have some great people to thank for being with me. By far I gotta say Emerald000 and Devonin. Emerald's been a great friends of mine, definitly the best, since I joined. I love working with him, and thanks a lot. And Devonin. We used to argue a lot, but he helped me see how retarded I was, and start doing more quality, contributive deeds for the site.
Along with them is a long list of others. Foilman, FrozenAngel, and dandandamdandan for helping me with my tournament. Tupacmdaman for getting me through some tough ****. Travman301 for being a good friend since the start. Soulstone because he makes me laugh. Colt45 for staying up late with me, chattin. Freakysnots for all his help, and that fun project we did for your class, lol. Xception for being a great guy and fun to talk to. Jellygod for making me laugh, no homo. Thunderstrike for being a really great friend, and talking me through some tough times (good luck!). Whocares because we had some fun times staying up at night, talking about MP. u84 for making fun of Shannon with me (what). Iluswirl because you're awesome Robertsona because you always make me laugh. Jumpthebullet because he cheers me up. Infinity. for having my back. Babyvpr for being a fun kid to talk to. MalDON and LD for being the greatest admins. xharumoni for joining TWG when I needed it. And yeah, even Hoochan. You helped me realize that there's plenty of people in the world who are going to try and get you down. Don't let them get to you. It's their loss, just wish them the best and move on. Championanwar an Cloud0005 for being completely awesome. Chidori! and Sarahxjane for helping me with my graphics. Gun92 for helping with my tournament.

Finally, some suggestions. Well, I think we need more quality. We have lots of functions, but some we hardly ever use. If we need the server space, get rid of some old stuff. And I've been meaning to say that we need new forum moderators. It really seems that Devonin is trying hard to make the site great again, but he can't do it alone. I'll edit this part in a minute, but off the top of my head I'd like to suggest Foilman8805. Or Silvuh.

Happy 1 year anniversary rzr!
Not to rain on your parade, but I think there's an official anniversary thread or something.
And yeah, I think foil would make an interesting forum moderator.

Edit: I feel your pain rzr with the whole phone posting thing. Just about every single one of my posts were done from my phone (this one included). I hate it.

Thanks And yeah there's a thread but like what Adam did, I tried to make mine epic. I've edited more. Hoochan's there, lol. And I'm working on it, still. That's probably one of the only drawbacks of using my phone for internet is I can't make long posts without really slowing down my browser.

Foilman would NOT make a good forum moderator. No offense to the guy, we're bros, but really? Foil? C'mon.
Silvuh? Maybe
Should start out as profile mod tho.

Foil and Silvuh are both very smart people who know the site as it was who it was awesome. I can't think of a whole bunch of people ATM, but what's important is that we get more moderators who can filter out the trash from the great things. And IMO those two deserve it.

EDIT: I left you out on purpose, lol.

Congratulations on your first full year here, EJ. I hope to see you around for many more.

Continue being a positive contributor as you have been for the last year. We need more people like you who think about the future of the site, rather than what it is now.

It's also good to hear that you've developed a higher sense of maturity through use of the forums. As you said, don't let anyone get to you.

Cheers, and make the best of the next year.

Although I think some of your suggestions are done without a whole lot of thought put into them I feel your heart (or whatever) is in the right place at times. Keep trying to contribute to the site, I feel that given more time you could definitely be a good poster around here.

Regarding the moderator issue, I've brought it up before. I think it was in the thread talking about all the ad-bots, I mentioned how a lot of them can build up as every single forum moderator is on American (or similar) time. Not to mention some of the mods are inactive (Drugstore, Cenright).

Though I disagree with you saying Devonin alone is trying to make the site better. All the active mods do their job well. Mainly Squeek / Jewp / Guido / Stretchy / Fish. Also I'm sure given time Sprite- will show why he was made mod too.

EJ, let me just say that there are people who are way more qualified than I am for a moderator position, though I do appreciate your nomination very much. As you can tell, there's a slight bit of skepticism regarding my ability to mod (which is funny since they've never seen it), but that's okay, because like I said, there are other people with more credentials than myself.

I agree fully with TRD though. We do need a global mod who isn't on American time zones, that way the forum can be successfully moderated at all times. Even something like 6 or 7 hours time zone difference makes a big impact, because at least one moderator will be awake when other mods are asleep.

Obligatory try 4+ years...

That being said, I'm happy to see that you've improved to where you are today. I like that you understand some of the "stupid ****" you did and how you worked/are working to improve it.

ps - in before 5+ years

Thanks for all the support, guys. The other thing I wanted to do was apologize. See, there's people on the site that I've been really mean to, and it's unjustified. I just thought I was being cool, fitting in with everyone else. But, I made myself look like an ass. People like NFD and MooMoo_CowFreak. I shouldn't be a jerk to you guys.

What I'm trying to work on is, instead of being rude and sarcastic I'm going to try and be helpful. Hopefully, monkey see monkey do.

But, thanks again, guys. I had more suggestions, but I forgot most, lol. I'm working on something for everyone to get a good laugh from. Oh, and about the mods, we need to get new ones. I mean, 3-5 mods I hardly see anymore. 2 I just don't see at all. I gotta get going so, peace out lol.

ha ha yes.

Apology accepted. I have to say though, I find it questionable that you where flaming me so inconsiderately (I was flaming you, yes, but you were just a total dick back to me, no offence) after having 5000 posts. Just don't do it again.

Also +1 for silvuh mod.

I'm not sure how to reply to this. I mean, you pretty much just said that you started an argument with me, and when I retorted you got angry. It's contradictory. But, I suppose it's not worth getting into. Thanks for accepting my apology.
