500 posts later

Okay, maybe I'm regretting one or two posts that've ended up in the quoted out of context thread, but I've had a really great time on here. I've been enjoying it as much as the day I joined about 7 months ago, in fact maybe more. Ever since I've joined, NA has been one of my favorite places to spend my time. One of my favorite things have been the contests, while I only posted once in the weekly contests I've still managed to give each game a try and enjoyed them much more than I expected. The contests I've really enjoyed though are the games like Werewolf, Survivor, and currently Big Brother. All of these have had their fair share of fun and frustration, and in the end it always felt good just to be a part of it all. Another favorite of mine has been in the seller's forum, where I've been trading up from a homemade 'Nintendo Paperclip' to a number of things. At first it was meant to be partially a joke, but six trades later I've somehow made it up to a DS Lite with a $4 DS game. Something I decided to do early on with this is to not do a simple "Bump!" to bump the thread, and while it's more difficult to put thought into them I'm glad I can say that all 500 of these posts have been meaningful. It's amazing to see how far something like this can go on here, and I'm hoping it'll keep going on for a while. Finally, the part that's kept me coming back every day is all of you in the community. Everyone on here is always discussing one thing or another, helping people who need it, and always having a good time along the way. I've laughed during the good times and sympathised during the tough times, and I'm glad for every moment of it. I'm really appriciative for all of you just being yourselves, it's hard to come by a single good person let alone hundreds all in one place, and it's helped make me a better person because of it. From my time on here I've become much less socially anxious than I was before, and I'll always be greatful for that. I'm glad to say I've been here for as long as I have, and happier that I'll be here for longer than that. Thank you, everyone.



Alright enough of that reminiscing, I'm going to go play Gradius or something
