Three months and six days late

[Laguna Loire]

But what am I late for, you ask?

My horrible three year speech of course!

I was gonna make one...but I couldn't be bothered...now I can, hahaha

Haha, three years, three months and six days ago, I joined this forum as Solid Snake_13...so glad I did. I think I can safely say this place has changed my life...lame? Yeah...but who cares? It's true anyway.

Year One

This place looked cool to me. It was all green which is always nice, it had the greatest smilies ever (IE, :tup: ) and it just looked plain awesome...so I decided to register.

I figured this'd be one of those forums I join but then can't be bothered to post after a few days/forget about it...but I didn't. This place was so cool, such nice people and just so damn fun to post here. Since it didn't seem like I was leaving anytime soon, I decided to change my name to The Black Snake. Sounded a damn sight better than Solid Snake_13, heh.

I kept posting and I started making a few friends here. The first friend I can remember making here was Josh_C...great guy, was a good laugh to talk to. I've still got him on my MSN, but we don't talk anymore, haha

I got used to this place and really liked it. I started trying to help out wherever I could on forums and just generally having a good time on here. Eventually, I got kinda sick of The Black Snake and decided to dedicate my name to the infamous MGS1 villain Liquid Snake. Haven't changed it since (evidently ).

Year Two

By now, I'd lost my n00b status and was kind of a regular here. I'd made a fair few friends here and I still loved this place. Like in year one, I was just posting fairly regularly, having a good time and helping out the staff where I could.

Sometime in November I think, I got ****in' lucky and was given the privilege of being a Moderator here! I was so proud, hahaha Couldn't believe it though, I seriously didn't think I'd become one, but...yeah...lucky.

And so yeah, I started abusing my new found mod powers and reigned over Discussion, PS2 and PS3 with an iron fist Haha

Year Three

This must've been the year when the n00bs started taking over C/D, haha. This year...basically did the same as one and two XD Heheh, except in this year I could obviously help out more by slaying the evil advertisers' threads 'n such

I do believe this was also the year where me and Kelsi discovered the "Mass Prune" option in the mod tools...lmfao...

Made a few more friends this year as new members joined up and...yeah, was still having a pretty good time here and just posting random **** wherever I could Hahaa



...and now I'm here

Reading that, it sounds boring the way I've described it all But trust me, my three years here have been so ****ing awesome, I've made so many amazing friends at this place and had such a good time here.

C/D = Ownage

And now we come to the people that need thanking...so...HERE THEY ARE!! :o


Nitrous - Hahaa, alright mate!? Sorry I hardly seem to be on MSN anymore But I gotta thank you for all the gaming info, helpful advice, your seemingly endless supply of links to random sites, and for being a real good mate of mine

Ragdoll - Where the **** are you man? I haven't seen you on for a while :o But thank you for being a great laugh to talk to, for losing your status of n00b remarkably quickly so it wasn't a crime for me to talk to you () and for being just an awesome guy.

Inter - Geeeorrrge! Haven't talked for a while mate, hope all's cool with yeh. Thank you for all the random images you used to send me (hahaha), making me Lord of the Everloading Emoticons (I think that was it ) and for befriending me while I was still in my n00b status, haha!

The Genie - This one's easy! Thank you Genie, for making this incredible site! I owe you big time, haha!

Nanaki - 'Sup Micheal!? Haha, hopin' all's good with yeh man, I'm sure it is Thank you for being a good laugh, for, like Ant, losing your status of n00b fairly quickly so it was safe to talk to you haha, for talking to me non-stop on MSN about guitars (though I'm unsure I should be thanking you for that ) and for being a cool dude!

eldiablo - DUDE! If you're somehow reading this, I demand you get back on here. NOW! Thank you mainly for introducing me to the land of Warez (I'm actually into torrents now as well as forums, hahaha ), for being cool to talk to and for being a real nice guy.


Here's a list of people I also need to thank for random reasons (which I won't go into 'cause I really can't be bothered...though if you're desperate to know why you're on this list if you're on it, PM me if you want, haha ):

Thank you for being my best friend, for making me laugh so damned much over the three years I've been here, for putting up with all my **** all the time, for always being there for me, for being the one I can always talk to when everything's gone to **** and for being...you. You know what I think and you know how I feel, so I'll leave it here...haha

(oh btw, I know it's lame to post this so ridiculously late, but since ETC's died atm and I can't play anything online for about half an hour, this came to mind as a reasonable time killer )
