I think without the forums I wouldn't have realized what I wanted to do with my career. I've been here for almost 2 years, and since my joining I've learned so much, and made so many great friends. Without this sitr, and all of you people, I would've never had the confidence to start my own website, to create a series, to start my novel, or anything. Hell, I wouldn't have even made some awesome connections with all of you.

I've probably been in 100+ RP's. All beautiful ideas. Some have died, and some have finished, some are even going today.

I just know, that this is the best writing community I've been in, and I owe alot of my knowledge to all of you guys. :D

It's my only social outlet! I'm so lonely....

But seriously. It got me through those first few months when I was totally confused and it offers me the opportunity to share what I've learned and learn new things all the time!

Thanks everybody! I wouldn't be as good at this without you. Y'all even convinced me to to try Oblivion! Now I just need to get over my SR obsession and actually play it. :)

If not for the forum, I would have had a build of suppressed emotions within myself. My family doesn’t understand me sometimes, and I feel that we are growing more and more apart as time moves on. I personally blame myself, but I’ve changed. I just act out on my feelings and if they dislike that, so be it. Not everyone sees eye-to-eye all the time.

Before the forum, I was super unsocial and a little depressed. I wanted to write creatively in a way that was unavailable in my college career. So I joined in, and I learned to let others know how I feel. However, a personal failure a few semesters ago drove off the deep end. If not for the forum…

Let’s just say I may have done something I would regret. Thanks to the forum I am the individual I am today, and I personally like the new me a lot. For that, the forum and the members on it have my eternal gratitude.

So that’s my story, cut down of all the sappy stuff for the most part.

Wow! Now you just need to keep up with my post total and you'll feel TOTALLY! popular. Or maybe just that you have WAAAAYYYY too much time on your hands.

Because of this forum (and that void touched Joe Reese) I now feel that wearing nothing but a loincloth and an evil masque, whilst dual weilding wood axes is a reasonable response to life's complexities.

For me it has, and still is, developing my writing ability. Which for me, someone who wants to make movies when I grow up, is a cool thing.

I dunno, been awesome to meet lots of people here who share my love of skyrim. That, and it helped motivate me to build my first PC indirectly. I'm even going to start a LP on Skyrim after my two current ones. So there's that.

This forum validates us all, whether we're looking for it or not. :) It's proof that it's not inherently lame to join a forum dedicated to a video game (or it is and I'm in very good company); and people who do so are not geeks bereft of social charms, or pasty-faced adolescents living in their parent's basement, but well rounded individuals from all walks of life.

Internet anonymity often seems to bring out the worst in people. It's so nice to come here and interact with people who are literate, irreverent, funny, generally respectful, and all that good stuff.

And I love decapitation screenshots. That never gets old.

I guess I meant we're not all like that. ;) I mean - I certainly am geeky, pasty and bereft of social charms. That's why I appreciate the wide range of personalities in these forums. Broaden my horizons and sh!t.

Well, I'm an International Bon Vivant that frequents these quaint forums as my Skyrim obsession has taken over my life! :)

Hmm well I guess I can put in my two cents in here. This site has taught me to be more accepting of who I am: a jack of all trades type of guy, but mostly a nerdy one that is obsessed with anything that makes me think (history, game lore, strategy based games). My creativity has also been increased from seeing all of these RPs and screenshots of characters. Also it's a good feeling to meet other people who have similar interests. I'm not very talkative in real so it helps to practice in a way. I'm not alone :D.

Valuable lesson indeed but I learned that even before being on the forum.

I'm tempted to say "Pics or it didn't happen", but this forum has also taught me that things like that cannot be unseen. In truth, I knew that long ago, but there have been new flavours of it found here in these forums. Things I've not seen since...well...*trails off and stares absently into the distance*
