Quote:hey guys,
with all the fighting, arguing, namecalling, disrespecting, and general drama going on lately, i wanted to post this for all of you to see. I have been a member of this forum since around January of this year. I always read the forum, but stayed away as a result of bad blood from friends\' earlier experiences here. I eventually succumbed and registered anyway. From the jump, no one spoke to me, every topic i posted was ignored etc....but slowly, my only real friend before this board, Ryan Bean, began posting in my threads. He also began talking up my name, telling the regulars to give me a chance, i was a great guy etc...After time, this began to work. More people began talking to me, i began posting more and things continued. Regardless of whether you love him or hate him, Ryan has always been there for me, regardless of whether i was right or wrong. There have been times when the two of us have butted heads and exchanged heated words....but that never changed our friendship, when it could easily have done so. As a result of this, I have made many friends on this board...Puckface, who i talk to almost daily, Goaliehack and VF_31, Fang, Slasherhouse, Spade, KrazyKen and Krazedkillah, Mike, Chainsaw, Dougie, Drew(banned but lurking), Jay IBDatOneGuy,etc.......if i did not post your name, please do not think i forgot about you, i am just trying to make a point. You all, for lack of a better phrase, have become my extremely large, multicultural, international dysfunctional family. Whenever i have had a problem, you all were there for me. My current situation, which most of you know about, is rough...but it never fails that whenever i log on, i get a pm from someone telling me to keep my head up, or offering to give me money, or just giving a kind word... i can never tell you all how much all of this means to me and to my family as well. If anyone of you ever need anything whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask. Those that know me well enough, know that i will do whatever i can in my power to help anyone that is in need. It is just strange to be on the other side for once, and to actually see what a difference you all make in my life. I know some of you are going to read this and think i am a sissy or a punk....for those....fuck off...this post wasn\'t for you anyway...to my family...thank you....that is all, the emotions have now been turned off and i am not back to my regular self...ya lousy bastards...
Thanks,
Tommy
