Time on NG: 2 year(s), 8 month(s) and 25 day(s) (=1,000 days).
____________________
Indeed, I have now had a Newgrounds account for 1,000 days. I felt this was a little bit more special than most of the achievements I post in here (mostly B/P and EXP ones), so I thought I'd make my post a bit different, and talk about some of my time at NG.
For my first 6 months at NG, I didn't even post on the BBS. Some of you may know that I used to make audio (to varying degrees of success), so the Audio Forum was where I began my posting days. I moved on to the Wi/Ht? after I stopped making Audio, and at first expected it to be much more hostile than the humble little Audio Forums, but was pleasantly surprised after lurking a bit, and discovering that the Wi/Ht? regulars were (and still are) some of the best people on the BBS.
I'd like to take this moment to mention a few of the people who have made my time on the BBS all the more memorable, and contributed greatly to me returning on a daily basis:
In no particular order:
Bahamut - you're an awesome guy, and have a great sense of humour. You've always seemed modest to me, despite your many great achievements on NG. I've enjoyed watching some of your many flash submissions, too.
Coop83 - The stallion of the LUL. You've been here for such a long time, and so consistently. You're always fun to talk to, especially about Rugby and other such English topics. Also, the English Gentleman's Club is one of the finer clubs in the C&C, IMO, and has been a lot of fun to be a part of.
Haggard - You came here about the same time as I did, and we've now effectively entrenched ourselves into the daily Wi/Ht? workings! You've made me laugh numerous times with your funny stories - like the time you got off the train at the wrong station, and didn't even realise due to a hangover. :)
Shanus - Our 'token' Irishman - you're a great laugh and it's a shame that you haven't been around as much lately. Still, college comes first, but I'm hoping you'll be here for a while, behind the scenes, watching us closely!
NintendoMadness - You're more of a recent addition to the listmaking ranks, but a good one. Even though I don't reply to a lot of your posts atm, I do read them all, and it's nice to see someone newer fitting in so well here. You're a credit to '07 users everywhere!
Joshiwa - I've gotten to know you quite well recently through our B/P rivalry, and despite the fact that you kick my ass week after week, you're great to chat to and it's always cool to see you around the BBS, especially since you joined the EGB.
gfoxcook - What can I say about gfox that everybody doesn't already know? I'm glad that I've been around to see you making a comeback to the BBS, and what a comeback it has been. Your presence on the BBS is indispensable, and I hope you do stick around for a long time to come.
Also, a mention to some of the other guys who have contributed greatly to the LUL in particular - Odyssic, Auz, iscrulz, thegreatmorph, PureLionHeart, ReconRebel, absent (now retired), yoshi77777, and everyone else who has made lists or posted good achievements.
Without all you guys, and many more who I haven't remembered to mention, I'd probably have given up coming to NG a long time ago, so thanks for being cool enough to make me stick around! :)
