Ima be honest: Man, I think my life would be [i]completely[/i] flipped if I never found this place and its populace. I would have never tried to write an SCP, never tried to write short stories, never tried to be a bit more positive, never got to play D&D (Ronin, Rex, and Lord Dublin are an awesome bunch), never got to meet The Nexus, never got to get pieces of actual advice (OLDBOY, lookin at you!). I mean, there’s tons more things I could list, and my list of users I could appreciate could go on and on... and on.... So, instead of listing people, I’ll compliment ya to the bestest best of my ability if you reply to this thread. I did the same last year, and honestly it was pretty fun on my part. The user that took the spotlight for me last year was First Aifos (seriously man, you are pure amazing. Stay the way you are, you are a type of person that will definitely go places! I hope your writing gets published too!), so I can’t exactly repeat him for this year. It’s gonna be hard to make this decision, but this year, it was mainly XombieXronad and his accomplices CoolHandLuke, Nil, and Backseatdriver, as well as my Nexus gang friends (yes, you all know who you are). I couldn’t exactly pick a single person this year. I hope you enjoy the festivities, but before I conclude this post and let the appreciations fly, I wanted to cover the topic of lurkers and the less recognized on here. I want you two groups to know that without you, Offtopic would not be the Offtopic that it is today. You give life to Offtopic in unique ways, and if you contribute in a good way to this subforum, you are as good as any other user in this place in my book. That’s all for this July 14th. Here’s to appreciations!
