EXCUSE ME who single-handedly usurped the post throne from the then-reigning fimbulvarg themself?? and has created THE MOST fanart in the entire fandom? and partially caused the birth of the self-insert trend that grew into its own board? NONE OTHER THAN YOURS TRULYYYyYyy

I kid. i mean not about the accomplishments because obviously i'm just that great and amazing, and WHy THANK YOU ALLLL




in all seriousness I've never had so much fandom-related fun before, and I've made so many excellent friends that I can barely keep up with it (I'M SORRY), and if I hadn't been here during my summer in prague i would have been so incredibly lonely. so uh. thank you for being such a huge part of my life! I know I'm not very active right now, but keeping up my past activity was kind of all-consuming^^" I no longer spam every page of the art museum, but i read it every day and it always warms my heart to see how it keeps going and how people keep creating and aaahhhhhh!! THE SAP. I'M FEELING IT


edit: and let us not forget how i began my forum carreer with a "I don't think I'll be very active". it has been used as an example so many times................

Haiz, and with such aplomb and savoir faire. And as IKEA said "I've read every new haiz post with delight and anticipation. Good job!" Indeed.

I'm about a month away from 1 year and rapidly, ha! approaching 250 posts ;D

PS I think I know where you got your current avatar, but I won't tell   ;)

Congrats!  :))

My anniversary-of-joining is the same day as the forum's own anniversary, so I can just go full Emil and pretend the festive mood is all about me.

Your wallet only hates you because you look so good.!

Congratulations, SectoBoss! You're about three weeks ahead of me. I was reading long before, but didn't actually discover how Disqus worked until last April.

My windows 10 laptop gave me a message saying it needed to restart to install updates but I was using it so I clicked cancel, "I'll restart it when I'm done" I think. Then a few minutes later the computer apparently thinks eff you I'm restarting anyway and the screen goes black without warning and then "restarting" shows up. Thankfully I was just browsing reddit but if I had been working on something then I would have lost it for sure.
So uh, moral of the story is that windows thinks you're a massive inconvenience and doesn't care what you want or don't want to do it will do what IT wants to do whenever it wants.  >:(

Oh and as a bonus after restarting it shows me the notification "Windows could not install updates"
great

Yepp, I remember always checking the scheduled updates thing so it doesn't turn off on me. When Windows generously set back the photo viewer for like the fourth time to their shiny new app from the old one I liked... I had enough and finally installed Linux, after procrastinating for like half a year. (huge thanks to Troposphère for walking me through it!)

I swear, Linux could/should use the catchphrase "Do you want to actually own your computer? Install Linux!" :D
