Five years ago today, I had officially became a member of the MoFo community. Five years! And I still have less posts than a hell of a lot of people who have been here for half of my time!
I came over from the The Sonic Foundation chatroom which was up at the time, and I was recommended to this forum by a close friend of mine who apparently was a member, but no one had no idea who she was.
When I first became a member here I was a regular part of the Role Player's Guild, and I had literally never left there until sometime around 600 posts on my post count. That's a lot of posts for just role playing. And I didn't even make an introductory post. =P
I've seen a lot of people come and go over the years: Newbies who've posted once then left; people that have been banned; and people who have perform the greatest disappearing acts of all time (Wes, I'm lookin' at you). I've made friends (Gyser, for one), lots of them. But I've also made enemies. Or just one enemy. I dunno, I didn't keep count. =P
I've witnessed various events which have taken place here, like the Sailorness virus, memoriable themes, the rise and fall of the EZchat, and the wrath of the Burger King! But the best one we've had in ages would've been the SonicPanther/Phoenix Wright chaos event in the SPA, whcih continued on to be taken over the by koopas, and then Zontar, King of the Pig People! I love this place. It's so insane. =3
But all in all there's no other place on the internets that I'd rather be then with all the people here. 
And finally, because I didn't make an introductory post, and because I care for you all:
Congratz. I've been here about two (on this account, anyway), but I mostly lurk. Hope you have five more great years here.
Congrats on the your fifth MoFo anniversary, Spiner!
Corgrats Spinner! Can i call you that? You DO need a new nick name after being here for FIVE years.
HIYA! *pounces excitedly and hugs!*
'Grats! *does the five year jig*
Ring any bells? :3
Here's to more years. (raises a jar of non-alcoholic stuff)
So you pip me by like, 10 days. You want a medal? =P
Whoo-hoo! I got a mention! I'M LOVED! I'M REALLY LOVED! Congrats you 30 year old M*Shot*
There's a lot of people I could've mentioned and thanked in that, but I wanted to keep it limited. XP I could just as easy list you all, but, 1) That'd take too long, and 2) I just can't be bothered. =P
Nel, SRD, Spirit: Thank ya'll.
SC: Sure, I don't see why not. XP
SX: XP
Ultra: To put it into words, it rings a huge frickin' cathedral bell. =P Of course I remember! The Dimensional Guardian series was the most fun I'd ever have role playing! And I can't just as easily forget all the people who participated in it. It was just waay too much fun.
Gyser: Could I get that medal in platinum? XP
Rock and roll. =D
Always good to have been around for....half a decade? Wow o_0 my 5 year is coming up in February, so keep postin'!
(and I should post more!)
~T2K
5 years is a really long time to be here on this board. Keep hanging around here!
*hands you a cake with a surpise inside* ^^
I have no idea what's in there. 
Yeah man, 5 years? Keep talking like that and we might have to call you old :O!
Hmm...wow, that is a while.
I think I've been around sort of that long...started coming here in late late 2001, but of course I did spend two years away from the MoFo while I was on my mission. Kinda weird thinking about it, though it feels like I've always been here.
But anyway, congrats to that. And hopefully there's gonna be a number of years more onto that. Cheers!
Wow. Get a new hobby.
I actually think I'm past five.
I've been on the Mofo since 98/99'...
Eeesh, has it really been that long now? 
Congrats, Spiner - keep the love going, ya feisty rapscallion. 
Five years? Hmmm.
Half a year ahead of me, then.
Keep it up.
5 years on 3 days ago for me.
