I could write a really long ass post about everything you brought up here, but this is your commemorative thread and I don't want to steal your thunder. I wouldn't want any drama around here.
I guess I can say thank you for the maturity comment. I don't know if we all exactly realized how much we've changed around each other, considering that, other than periodic absences, we haven't spent that much time away from each other on the internet in the past three or four years... I guess the only proof we all really need is the fact that we used to be a forum infamous for its drama content, and there's been almost no drama here in quite a while now. We've finally learned how to coexist and appreciate each other. Being who we were two years ago, that never would have been possible without a change.
Orbital is something I've taken for granted quite a bit over the years. It's always been there in my bookmarks bar (yes, even when I left, it remained in my bookmarks menu on most of my browsers, and it was still a bookmark on my phone) and it's been a place I've expected to always be available for me. However, until quite recently, I don't think I grew to fully appreciate its importance to me. There have been things lately, from our Skype conversations to our forum games and definitely including the thread that UNF mentioned, that have made me realize how close as a community we all really are. It's cheesy, and I wouldn't admit this to anyone in real life. Despite the fact that I only know all of you through the internet, I can easily say that you guys, even the people who have not always been on my best side over the years, are some of the people I trust the most. As Rosti's walk down memory lane proved, we have all seen the worst of each other, and yet we've remained as a group.
Dammit, I made a long post. I'll stop now.
