What the hell

[drenrin2120]

It's 2009... I've been here for 5 ****ing years. **** you guys!

...But seriously, I <3 you guys.

...But seriously, what the hell... Five years is a long time. I can't believe I haven't finished any kind of game within that time. We've all changed so much since we first joined here and yeah yeah, there's probably a topic like this somewhere. But five years is a long time and a celebratory number. For me, atleast. I can remember I lived in a different place five years ago, had completely different friends, and was very quiet, too myself and respectful. All that has changed. Now I've got a job as well. XP Ooooohhhhh, life.

What have you all been up to lately? What kinds of things were you up to when you joined x years ago.

I'm really not too sure what this is all about. Just a personal revelation I have once a month I thought I'd share with you all and see where it goes.

Ha, yeah, you know, five years ago I was like "I'll stay in this place for at least one year, by then I bet everyone else will have left though."

[Archem]

Wait, five years?


That's, like, longer than I was in high school!

[Drace]

Been here too for five years. Haven't worked on RPGs since two months after I came here.

[Moosetroop11]

Whoo... I'm getting old too. I know my life was totally different when I joined. So was charas...

[Drace]

The good ol' times and members, the trolls. Shame they all left.

[Red Fox]

Damn... 5 years for me too. Time flies.

Been here for 2 years and a few months. Back there when I joined, I was a total loser. I had no real life friends, on the internet I behaved like a noob, I couldn't do anything useful. Now, I got a bunch of friends, rl and internet. I also improved quite a lot on drawing, spriting and the like.

If it wasn't for charas, I wouldn't be able to speak english at all. Some of you still remember how shitty my english was when I joined. And since I never took classes or anything, everything I know, its because of you guys.

Charas helped me a lot. It was the first forum I joined and I hope its the last one I leave.

That...was beautiful.

When I joined back in 2007, I was only in the 4th Grade. Now I'm in the 6th, I've met new people and expanded my hopes
and shitty dreams.

Blarg Precalc.

Now I finally have someone that I can actually call a true friend, even though we've only known each other for such
a short time. Life, it changes in the most unexpected ways.

Her name is Charas.

My ideals haven't changed since I joined here. I'm still Mr. Anti-popularity, and if anything from Charas, that ideal has only strengthened.

I can easily say I formed a real sense of humor here, possibly a mix of all of the comedy styles you guys have. You guys brought up some games that I never would have tried, but now can't stop playing (curse you JeT and Prpl for IAWW/TWEWY!) I've learned what is and isn't accepted from the homies of the Internetgroundplaceplaza of Funk, and now I shutter every time I read an old post of mine.

Thanks for keeping me a virgin since March 2005.

...or at least giving me an excuse to be one.... <.<

Here's to five years.

[WarxePB]

Here's to five more years.

[Grandy]

Here's to our old pal Xen, if he's still alive.

[Drace]

Here's to our old pal Xen, if he's still alive.

He just dissappeared from the face of the planet. One day he was posting, the next, BAM.

[Red Giant]

I just realised that my seniority pwns all of you.

[Grandy]

That would be true if you hadn't disappeared for over one year.
You are on the same boat as us, buddy.
