    Default Right, let's get this over with

    This is my 10,000th post. And I couldn't imagine getting to this point on any other forum.

    To steal from one of my favorite authors, I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. And please take that in the most positive context possible.

    I was considering a really long list of all the people to thank, but honestly, it'd be too long and at the same time too short. So I'd just like to thank you, each and every single one of you, even if we've never interacted, for making this experience so great. I couldn't imagine a better collection of people on the internet and here's to more years of good times.

    So here's to you all.

    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Congratulations!

    On a different note, since when do you have so many high scores in the org arcade? I racked up 14 scores when I had time to spare and was going for the top position eventually. Where am I going to find time to win 25+ new ones?

    Heh, this was a couple weeks ago when I saw a member had basically found 40-ish games that nobody had played, played them once, and thus self-proclaimed himself king of the arcade. Annoyed by this, I took it upon myself to defeat him in every single game. It shouldn't be hard to top most of my scores, I only care about/put real effort into 5-7 of them.

    Long ago when the Org was young for the 1,000th post those venerable posters got a Kensai icon as their user picture.

    JAG's had spam in red lettering on it. And another had a winking eye.
