Hi everyone,
At the risk of sounding cornball, I wanted to say thank you to everyone responsible for managing this place and to all the members that make up this forum. That pretty much should cover everyone here if I am to accurately express my thoughts about this place.
I have been here a little over 5 years, I guess you could say I'm a "Senior" member, (not that I'm old but because how long I've been here..lol) And I want to say this place has become more to me than just a support forum, its a place that is familiar to me and that I feel comfortable at. I never thought this would happen at a support forum but it did, its as much an online home to me as my own forum is, probably more. I've certainly been here as long as I've had my forum, as I joined here shortly after its creation.
Some people come here to ask a few questions, to get some answers, have a look around and leave, some come back others do not. When I joined I joined because I had just created my forum and I had a few questions to ask, little did I know I would be coming back for 5 years, not only because I had more questions because often times I did, but also to see what my friends and this group has been up to. It slowly devolved into a family-type environment for me, a place I cared about and wanted to be. This forum is one of my daily stops I make several times a day, sometimes I just hangout here and read or try to find a question I can answer or help with.
I feel a sense of loyalty to this forum because its my home, I never allowed myself to be taken away from here by another forum and spend more time at that one than I do here, because the simple fact is I like it here better, always have. And its here I'm going to stay because it means that much to me.
So I wanted to express and show that this forum can be more than just a support forum to some people, it can actually become as meaningful to them as there own forum is, or more. So I just felt it was way overdo for me to post my "heartfelt thanks" to everyone for making that happen.
