What a day... In fact, what a crazy 6 months, A lot of joy, a lot of pride, a lot of heartbreak... But through it all, a lot of us have stuck together. And this post is for all of you.
First of all...
HAPPY MOTHERFUCKIN 10,000 TO ME!!!!!!
HOOORAY TBH.
I'm going to try to keep this one cheery. I hit my 10,000 today, and in the midst of a lot of craziness... to those of you that saw it. But I guess that's appropriate, as Ninja has always been a bit of an insane website. I love you guys (cry)... I really do. All my mods, my fellow admins, my heart & soul, and all the way down the line. I'm not quite sure how I got 10,000 posts on this thing, but I do know that I try my damn hardest to keep this site and our forums on the very top of this game. To see what this has grown into from what it once was just a few short months ago is astounding.
I guess this will be my Feedback post if nothing else. I love Ninja. With all of my heart. My entire being swells with pride when I think about it, and it is only through all of you that I can feel that way. Especially my mods and the platinum. I'm truly honored to call you my friends. To everyone else... thank you for visiting. Truly... even the haters. In 6 months time we've broken the top 7000 websites in the world and regularly break the top 4000 on a daily.
I know I'm controversial... to put it lightly (o_O) ... but it's because I'm so passionate about what I do. It is through the trillions of pixels that make up this virtual home of ours that I have felt emotions I didn't think I was capable of come to the surface. And though slightly disconcerting, that in and of itself is an amazing thing. And again... it is the result of the thousands of people that come to visit every day.
I have a slight urge to say thank you to a few people... but tbh, I just can't right now. I'm a little too sapped currently.
/smiles wryly...
However... I will say this.
My dearest dead1ne... my Matthew... my baby. I love you.
Thank you for my forums and thank you for being who you are. You're the ying to my yang... the black to my white... and the ego to my id... with the rest of Ninja being our super-ego. I'll be your bitch till the end... and I thank you for letting me in to your cranky little heart.
And that's it. :) ... Love me or hate me, I'm here to stay, and 5 digits in... I think I might have proven that. o_O... Thank you for everything Ninja. May you all enjoy your next 10,000s as I've enjoyed my first.
(bow)
