I guess there seems to be some drama going on here and there, so I wanted to take the time to maybe lift some spirits by saying how thankful I am to have found this place. I don't think I've ever really fit into a internet forum like I have here with you guys.

Take this from someone who's been a member in some of the most unfortunate holes on the Internet and been on the wrong end internet drama, ran off, and called things I can't even repeat here just for being in fandoms people didn't like(I bet most of you had no idea that I've been through both the Furry and Sonic fandoms, I'm practically a veteran of internet bullshit at this point. That probably also explains to the curious why I'm so resilient to things going wrong)

Back on topic because I rambled a little bit, I just wanted to say for better or for worse, we have it good here. We have a good community, good staff, and good discussion. I can't praise that last one enough, this is one of the few places I can have a civil debate without hard feelings and venom.

The first is a point of discussion as well, I've been on sites with abusive staff. I can safely say this isn't one of them. I've been on sites with mods so petty they will hand out warning points just because you remove their abusive comments from your page. I'm not lying, I recall a gaming website where a mod left a really abusive comment on my blog, and answered me hiding it with a warning point(it was a 10 point scale) with the reason for it listed as "this will teach you to remove my comments"

I'd also like to add that I was almost ran off from being a brony until I found you guys, because the last brony chat group before here I was in became to venomous to be in. I thank you for pulling me back in to all this.

So in the end, I just want to think everyone for the year and a half I've been here, and I hope for many more to come. I've been on Deviant Art for five years, let's see if we can all top that.

Despite my snarky nature sometimes, I love all you guys and I'm glad to have y'all.
