It feels kinda weird writing about this, as I remember when I first came here and people were there going on about how much the forums mean't to them, and to be honest, you can't help but laugh. This place only exists, if you connect to the internet. It exists in cyber world, yet, it can have such a big impact.
I read posts, I read all the posts in here, a few in DVD forum, some in Chat, most of them in Internet forum and now and then go over to Prime and Customer Support.
I dunno how long I've been here. Probably around 200 days or something and during that time, I've met some of the best people I think I've not only met, but some of the best people that are ever worth meeting. There's plenty of intelligence around here, (excluding Shaneo) and people who maturity to understand when and what to say.
No matter where you go, you'll always find the ignorant gits, who only seem to care about themselves and don't take any thought as to the consequence that their actions might have. Perhaps, sometimes, it's best to live like that. Not look into the future, live one day at a time, as after all, all the problems exist now, and by carrying them on, then they'll exist in the future. But, if you like your friends, it's not reccomendable.
Like probably everyone does, I look for names when looking at posts. I look for the notables, I look for the people who come online during the day, the people who actually have something to say. You've got the posts, were someone is just taking the p@£&, you've got some posts about why XBox is going to prevail and rule all, you've got the posts about which film is better and who is the best director, then you've got the personal approach and find people confessing their life stories.
After being hear long enough, you start to feel like a family. You know who everyone is, and chances are, you know about 80% of peoples first name. You can tell when someone is telling a joke, and someone is trying to be witty, and therefore know when their being serious.
It truly would be interesting to see how many people would come to this place, if GAD wasn't present. Just part of human nature to want more then we already have, I suppose, so you can't blaim them.
Anyways, this post was supposed to be about inspiration. I kinda went off track, and I apologise.
Right.
Of course there's plenty of inspiration around, as I was saying, some of the posts were/are inspiring. Some of them make you think, and I don't mean thinking whether PS2 really does display 653,432 pixels every 5.432 seconds.
Obviously, there's more to life then just the internet, it's just, I don't think I'm yet to discover it. Another completley pointless post to add to the cabinet.

Damn, missed this first time round.
I can totally agree with everything, except that I don't want to meet any of you. No offense, listen to my reason. To me, people on this site are their nicks. I'm not particularly interested in what you are in real life, I like you fine on here. The forums take up part of my life, and I like that, because I get more intelligent conversation from you guys. Other stuff I do related to here, like write stories or play/beat Grix at Chess, are part of that.
I'm not Gaz on here,I'm not 17. I'm Stryke.
I like that. It's my identity.

As well as asking myself if other people on here exist, I often have to ask myself if Grix Thraves really exists... who the hell is he?
I just think and type, and that's Grix. He's not made up, he's just as bare as I can be, and for some reason, I find it difficult to believe I'm him. I can't believe I come out with the stuff I do, stuff I can read and think "wow" myself... I'm not being big headed, at least I'm trying not to, but it's such an amazing experience to come on here, have so many friends, and be able to write whatever I like, I find it quite hard to be true. I'm really expecting one day to wake up and discover I'm really just a newbie that everyone hates, people all saying I've got no talent for writing, and deciding to leave because I'm crap.
Mr Happy, Meka, and quite a few others say I've got a talent for writing, but I still refuse to believe it. I've lived my life so long being so crap at everything I touch, it's difficult to kinda... acknowledge what's going on. I've started making huge decisions about my life, it's even going quite well... it's like I'm really living in a dream world, with all these people I've never met who talk to me and encourage me more than anyone outside this little village of ours.
One of the main problems I have, is that I cannot talk properly. I can't form words with my tongue the way I intend to, or at least that's my excuse... and even though I can write fluently and almost perfectly on here, with words suddenly jumping out at me, I can't talk anywhere close to as good as this. It's a happy medium for me, because for every hour of the day that I'm silenced by my inadequecy of voice, I can come on here and type to my hearts desire to people that are very much like me, all with stories, hearts, tastes, and views. And then perhaps, go out to watch tv. Listen to how computers are ruining our lives, turning us into braindead morons when this is the only real way for me to communicate properly.
We really are going to have to organise an actual meeting one day, so we can all get together and go paintballing or something. And then laugh at how unfit we all are.
Just don't expect me to talk like this to you. :0)

Took the words right out of my keyboard.
Do people like actually exist in real life? I don't think so, because I've never met any of them.
'I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again...I know you all'

Do people like

Like you, Tom, I feel that I have met some of the best people that I will ever meet on here. I aint gonna name them, because it's not hard to guess, but there are people on here that I truthfully am in awe of... which is really odd considering I have never actually physically met any of them.
Dude. :) Hmm, I have been reading posts for the last hour, I have been interested by lots of them, but I can never think of a good reply. It's kind of, I know what to say in my mind, but I can't get it down on paper/screen... Easter has made my mind turn into jelly methinks. Or maybe its just because my brain is small and doesn't take kindly to thinking.
Anyway, touching post Mr. Nice Guy. I am a newbie and -not- proud of it, but at least I am not "red" anymore. Sigh. Ok, I am rambling, I need something else to read, maybe I shall wander over to another forum...
Good bye..
Glorious day by the way :)
