Here's the part where VH sounds like a sappy, sad and lonely man. But hear me out.
I've been here for a long 6 years now. I've been here through the bad times (TBM) and through the good times (RTB).
I've seen the trolls, I've seen the forum crashes, I've seen the generally horrible people. I've seen the great people, the incredibly talented people.
These people were my family when my dad died, when I lost my house, when I basically lost contact with my family due to my step-dad. Every time I've been depressed, every time I've been suicidal, every time I've been so incredibly lonely and had no friends, everything. This forum has watched me grow up, this forum has been my home when I've had no home.
The people on these forums have personalities, personalities you don't see anywhere else. I've tried getting into other forums but they all feel like nothing but avatars and usernames. They're all robots that say the same things over and over. But here, I see people, not just usernames.
I see people and I know their personalities and I can laugh with them and argue with them and get mad at them and truly call them friends.
These forums have been, and always will be, a significant part of me and my life. I will always look back on my times here and smile because I know without a doubt that this is where I belong.
As much as I say I hate you forgeters, when you call me an emo cigarette (Bisjac) and call me a disgusting freak for cross dressing (90% of you), I can't help but come back. I let it slide cause in reality I really do love you guys (in a completely homoloveual way ;)).
It's truly an incredible feeling to be a part of this community; to watch Blockland grow and progress, to watch the wars and the breakthroughs, to be a part of the mod development teams and beta projects. I wouldn't trade you guys for anything in the world.
TL;DR: Read the god damn thing, it's not that loving long.
