It seems like it was just yesterday.... LOL.
I had considered doing a 10,000th post thread, considering it's a major milestone. Then I reconsidered..... and now I've re-reconsidered. Like my buddy, grandpa Beanz would say: "You're being wishy-washy." So be it. Beanz is alright, especially since he started contributing quality material to the Tits Thread.
Seriously tho, besides marriages, jobs, and houses..... it's rare to find anything that lasts 9, almost 10 years nowadays. Forgot friendships. Real ones last a lifetime. Oh.... and my fantasy football league, which I've been a part of for the last 12 years.
So I figure it must be because I enjoy my time here. It gets to the point you pretty much get to know the people around you. Matter of fact, you even begin picturing them in your mind. Well.... except for Missy, who posted impressive pictures of herself awhile back..... and brock, who pretty much showed himself in video.
Like all families and groups of friends, you have the good, the bad, and the ugly. You read shit that makes you laugh.... stuff that makes you reflect.... and basically you get to engage interesting (for the most part) and witty people. You have smart people here, some obviously well-educated. You have well-traveled people...... and you have people of all ages. I'm glad we have our share of old-timers. I doubt some of these overly aggressive and primitive boxing sites have too many of those. Yeah, there's always going to be some ignorant bad apples..... but I do my best to forgive him for being a moron.
I'm no saint.... and probably got a week's ban once for being a bit overzealous in my cyber insults. But I think we all change over a 10-year period.... and I'd venture to say there's been some that have matured over that time. I can think of one prime example of someone who's grown up before our very eyes.
So yes.... I'm rambling.... quite spontaneously, frankly.... because it was meant to be a one or two-sentence post. The forum is what..... about 12 years old? That's pretty good. I wonder where we'll all be in another 12 years, and whether some of us will still be posting. Maybe I'll meet a fellow saddo'er in person in the future, like I know some of you have especially in the UK.
Who am I? (Just getting ahead of myself).
I'm TitoFan.
