A Year Spent Defining "Cynical"

Postby baloki » Mon Dec 31, 2007 10:15 pm

It's almost the New Year all over the world, and a new year is dawning. This forum has gone through alot (and yet so little has changed too :p) over these last twelve months, why not tell us what your high and low lights of the year have been and what you're looking forward to (or would like to happen) in 2008.

Also Happy New Year!

I'd have to say the highlights are definitely the large amount of great new members that we've had join this year...they're too numerous to count. The lowlights for me would obviously have to be the drama we have encountered, as recently as a couple weeks ago.

I look forward to many cool new members next year...that's what I like about this forum...much of us are like one big family, and I hope to see some awesome new editions tot his family. I also look forward to cracking the 5000 post mark.

Intraweb is serious business, and whatnot.
Anami and Anami are sitting around Anami says "GRR I AM ANGSTY LET'S EXPRESS ANGST" and so Anami says "ONE OF THE MODS ON DC IS A DICK I POSTED A PICTURE THAT WASN'T REALLY THAT INAPPROPRIATE AND THREE MODS SAW IT AND DID NOTHING THEN A FOURTH ONE SAW IT AND DELETED IT" and Anami says "OMG I HATE MODS >:("

No, he's obviously talking about ME! :-P

Cameron is awesome because:
-Because he has an artistic style that is both complex and minimalist. This is profound!
-He once drew me as a roadrunner. It was an actual honest to god feral roadrunner, but a roadrunner nonetheless!
-He lives in Idaho among the wilderness and stuff and I envy him for that. 3:
-He is probably one of the most personable artists on here.
-I think he's the only one of us on here who drew a fanart that made it as a guest strip on O&M. This is an accomplishment!

Highlight: Joining DC!!

Lowlight: Probably the little spats of drama here and there.


First post of 2008! May it be the best year yet! :)
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

Congratulations Arlo! that's awesome =D (and if that wasn't new news, then I didn't know it =P)

High point: Being with my girlfriend for 6 months now (a few days over actually).

Low point: people whom I knew either by association or did know at least a little dying within the past month or two (I think it was in November.) in a car crash. that was the worst when I realized I knew them, because I couldn't remember them for the life of me when I only heard about it, but seeing pictures jogged my memory of course.

My low point: working way too much.
My high points: Getting paid for it. Getting a sweet car. Joining several forums and having a great time.
I'm still kind of stoked about drawing this.
