Hello everyone!

Well, on January 28th, 2007 at 6:16PM, I made my first thread on Mac-Forums. Then, at 6:21PM, I got my first warning LOL.
Well, i'm on a few forums here and there, but really Mac-Forums is the only forum I actually go to every day. Most other forums i'm part of I only go to if I have a problem, but here at M-F it's a lot closer than other places. M-F is like the loving grandma who spoils you and is WAY overindulgent!. Other places I go the memers seem rude, and it feels like you are getting responses from robots, not to mention there are naked girls everywhere. It was awkward when my 8 year old cousin went on my computer while I was on another forum and he saw all the naughty avatars. Anyway, it's really not heard of for me to be commited to one thing for a WHOLE YEAR, being the ADHD person I am, I see a bird outside a window and I abandon everything!
As I grow and mature, as I gain knowledge and wisdom (don't laugh, it's actually true ), and as the flower of my life begins to bloom, I know I owe some of it to all of you. (sniffle)lol.

Looking back at how much I have learned, how far i've come, the posts, the threads, the polls, surveys, and all that. If they be happy, sad, in between, or one of those that just makes you say WTF?! I know that I will have no trouble being here for years to come.

So with that, with a tear in my eye, and an Apple of my other (sorry, that lame joke was hard to put into words), i'm going to thank everyone who has helped me. Although i'm not able to mention EVERYONE, as many of you have helped me in ways other than technical, i'm going to do my best to list you all, from that first response of my first thread (D3v1L80Y), to my most recent, here it goes:

Many more have helped me in the past year, and many more will help me in the years to come. It's been great, i'm so happy to be a part of this place, the last 525,600 minutes have been great.

I've done so many things in the past year;
I went mac
I painted my room
I sprained my foot
I got a new iPod.
I got another Mac
And another
And another
I started another school year
And ended another.
I met new people.
I fell in love.
I lost a friend
I lost a relative
I lost a pet.
I had fun.
I cried.
I laughed so much I could have died.
I've found some hope, some dreams, some long lost treasures, and many memories.

I've also found myself,
but who could forget,
I also found you.

This has been fun, and in the end, that's all that matters. To me anyway.

Lets make it another good year!
Thanks, so much.

Tanner.

You sure this thread isn't going to get you a warning?? Not sure if one of the words in the second sentence of the paragraph is legal.
Otherwise, congrats. I think my year here is coming up soon.

I would hope not, it was the FIRST warning! A milestone! And i was fresh off of FST, so you can't blame me.
But i was happy that I said that, it was a pretty cool thing to get warned for IMO. I look back at it fondly.

Anyway, yes your one year is on GROUNDHOGS DAY! cool.

01-28-2008, 07:38 PM

w00t, mentioned! (Although I don't know why.)

My first year is coming up in May, so it'll be a while for me. :p

01-28-2008, 07:49 PM

I think it was because you took a poll i made. Don't remember for sure though.

01-28-2008, 07:51 PM

Screw you...I didn't want to be on your list anyway! Pftt....

LOL. J/K

01-28-2008, 08:17 PM

I can't believe you kept track of all the people that helped you

01-28-2008, 08:22 PM

Thanks Tanner.... Just made the one year mark myself.....it went unnoticed by me somehow until I read your thread. It is a fun place to kick back and have a chat.

Congrats Tanner! I know you try hard, and it shows. Maybe this next year will be free of warnings and infractions. ^_^ As a friend used to tell me, "Keep up the good work!"
