Ah, the thread returns! I can't believe the last one was so long ago...
First off, I have to say that this little corner of the internet is probably filled with the most lovely people I've ever come across on the internet, and that extends to all the members who post here. I feel special just to be looking in. Sure, we don't always agree on everything, but we're ace all the same. So really that's my opinion on the forums members! All of them. Some personal highlights of the last four years (Wow! So long...) have to be based around the real political debates we had going in the run to the 2004 US presidential election, and the sense of hope I experienced from this site at a really bad time in my life. That's probably one of the experiences I'll cherish the most from my life. Sure, things didn't work out how some of us wanted, but here for a while, things seemed to be so positive. I don't know, that's just how I interpreted it.
I know I'm definitely not as close to the members here as some of you are, but I've got to thank everyone for allowing me to form a small part of this community.
Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, I'll comment on the two members I feel I know the best. Happy & Panuru. These two people are incredibly amazing and words can't describe how honoured I feel to have met them. I know our contact is erratic if at all, but I'll always consider them two of the greatest friends I've ever known. I've known Panuru throughout most of the most formative periods of my life I guess, going back many many years and she's just been the greatest influence on my musical taste and how I look at the world. I'm perhaps slightly scared of her today, knowing how I've run to ruin somewhat and left my ideals behind and become something of a wreck, but that's my problem and my mistakes; running scared from good friends. Anyway, my thanks to her for saving me in the past so often. I owe her more than words can convey.
Harry is a deeply amazing person too, he's again inspired me in my viewpoints and how I see the world and it's media. His very drive behind this site and a quest to maintain independance and a dream is something that is so important in this world right now, and we should all support him as far as we can (and I know we all do, but it needed to be said). He's definitely not the monster he makes himself out to be, except for a dead scary mickey mouse impression. I'm wrapped up in a little guilt that compared to what these two people have given, I've been able to return so little. But yes, I had to say how much these two people mean to me!
Anyway, I think everyone here is brilliant.
Stay beautiful xx
