My third anniversary on the MLP Forums

Good evening, fellow Bronies! My name is Dark Qiviut, one of the "newer" fans of the series, having only watched since last summer (July, I think). I've since followed the fandom, its updates, and the series itself. If some of you read the comments section of Equestria Daily, you might've seen some of my longer posts dealing with the Derpy Hooves controversy from earlier this week and before and my distaste against the censorship (which I won't discuss at all here out of respect for the staff and forum).
I tend to lurk in many forums, but there are two that I really spend a lot of my time in.
1. The Sonic Stadium Message Board under this same name (although for there, I altered it to Derpitude Adjustment for today's occasion
). I'm a very vocal Sonic fan, particularly of the games from Sonic Adventure to today. In the Chit-Chat section is a huge thread talking about "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic." You can take a look at the board here. Be advised that some of the language can be off-color.
2. The New York City Transit Forums under the handle RTS CNG Command. That place is more about transportation discussion within the Tri-State area of the U.S., where I live. But most of my posts come from the Off-Topic Lounge and the Art section. I do talk about My Little Pony there at times, sometimes out of fun and other times because I love watching other members react. Here is the forum.
How I go around is that I like to discuss. But I particularly like to debate if I have the evidence by my side, and I'm especially not afraid to make my posts rather long if I feel I need to in order to make a logical point.
That's all right now! I think I'll enjoy this place, and I'll see you around!
That was my introduction to the MLP Forums on March 1, 2012. Three years ago today. Ironically, the first ever Derpy Day.
Needless to say, it's shocking how much time flies when you're having fun here. Back when I registered, I was still considered a newbie in both the fandom and the forums themselves. Prior, I wasn't that immerse in the fandom, but the Derpy controversy changed that. March 1, 2012 can all but be considered my permanent arrival in the core brony fandom. Rather than talking about and confining myself to just a couple of places, I decided to expand my horizons.
Today, I think it's safe to say I'm one of the more prominent members on this site. I know, I don't post as much as many other members; to this day, I don't even have 1,000. But quantity of posts I couldn't care less. It's the quality. It's the ability to go into a thread and present an argument. To be meticulous and really get into the nitty-gritty. Of my place on the Forums, the feature that helped me locate my now strong voice is the blog. In the Garage, I often act silly, carefree, casual, and relaxed. But in my Columns, I display my ability to argue the best I can be. If you've followed my history, my voice and craft in my ability to analyze, critique, and review have become more refined over the years, and the multiple analyses and reviews on and off the forums helped guide me grow into that meticulous way of thinking. Yeah, I'm very opinionated, and I'm damn proud of it! 
But it's also not the forums without you. I've made plenty of friends with the members, donors, and staff; but I've also pissed off plenty of others. >) It's also the community here that helped me find my path after my aunt's cancer became terminal. I needed the shoulder to cry on after she died late last year, and the forums here did that.
With that, thank you, and hope for another three years!
Happy Derpy Day, bronies!
