big enough. Remember when I would've been serious about a thread like this? Apparently that was 4 years ago, so says my name color. I think I've changed a whole lot since coming here. Partially because of you guys, mostly not, but whatever. I rag on the forums a lot because face it, most of you guys are assholes. But that's ok. I'm kind of an asshole too. 
On the whole, I'm pretty glad that I decided to start posting here, even though I consider my own to be one of the harshest paths through being a new poster. A lot of the people that I seem to remember despising me pretty thoroughly have (as I see it) grown to either like me or at least tolerate me. And the same goes vice versa.
I don't usually like doing this because it just drags all the lurkers out to pretend they're someone important, but I might as well anyways. Post here and I'll tell you what I thought of you when I started posting here, and what I think of you now. Maybe how much you've improved or how much cooler you used to be than you are right now. If you're nice, you won't just say LOL ME NEXT, and you'll give me your opinion about myself as well. Believe it or not, I do think your guys' opinions are important. If I didn't like the forums, I wouldn't post here every time I get something new or need help or just want to discuss some random bullshit when I'm sitting around at 9:30 in the morning on a Tuesday.
To 4 years! Now start posting so I can make fun of you! 
As a birthday request, I request Drysart updates the WoW Character Data thing to included Blood Elves, Draenei and levels 61-70. Will provide Kim Possible porn if this request is met. 
But a neato kinda strange :3

Truly, it's a deep sense of respect moreso then a sense of creepiness.
Keep on truckin', Man. 
Regardless, it's been interesting seeing you evolve, as it were, on the boards and while I did my share of Aeris jokes in the beginning, I've never once been unhappy with you being a part of this hooj dysfunctional family.
I remember one time you posted a couple of Mega Man remixes here. That was pretty cool. The various amounts of porn you've posted here in the past has also been interesting to say the least! Either awesome, disgusting, or just plain humorous, it added an extra level of entertainment to the boards, even if you got labeled as "the weird porn guy".
When it comes to video games, you're one of a few people here that I listen to for a good idea if a game is good or not. Talonous is another one, though that shithead doesn't post here anymore. :(
I also think you've done some pretty retarded stuff here too, like the time you changed your avatar to a very loose and soggy vagina, or the time you started flaming people for little to no reason and said it was Waisz who had control over your account...
But then again you generally make up for stuff like that with the general coolness of your posts. You're one of a few people here that still makes interesting threads and posts rather than flame or lurk until "a thread for everyone" comes along, or make very interesting politics threads.
I remember when I first came here, that I was always afraid of posting because I always figured I'd get flamed, and I find it humorous that it's the other way around now!
Anyway, stay cool, you've become an awesome person over time, either here, or where ever else you post.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java the thoughts aquire speed, the teeth acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
But that's okay, you're alright in my book. 
Overall, I think you're a pretty cool guy and though you've posted some horrible things and other things that made me say 'ouch, my childhood', mostly I find that the things you post do what you intended them to... either entertained, disturbed, or were just cool.
I doubt you'll have much to say about me (nobody ever does), but that's cool.

I used to hate you. I honestly can't believe how much my opinion of you has changed over the years. When I saw that you would respond to a thread of mine, I'd be like "Goddamnit, D is just making another degrading post towards me and my interests again." Because my sense of humor has been shaped slowly through going here, I realize that's just your way of saying I love you. 
Hell, who would've thought that I would grow to trust you enough to send 200 dollars through the internet tubes at your sorry ass?

Your shtick is even more fake than mine, I swear. Other than that, you're actually one of the more knowledgeable people I talk to on the boards. I like your opinions on games and you're a funny person to talk to. And it is true that you're pretty much the other half of Alaan. I look forward to eventually meeting you under bizarre circumstances as we met Suddar.

Falaanla is one of the few people that I can't ever remember being mean to me at one point. You're always a nice person to talk to, and as a fellow game reviewer, you have great tastes in that aspect. A lot of the people I don't really have much different to say because we're all very alike in so many ways. I guess that's why this community hasn't fallen apart yet.

Karnaj, without you, not only would we have half the threads on the boards, but we would have ZERO intelligent conversation. I believe that is your purpose here. To find stuff no one cares enough to post on EC about and spur discussion about it. I like your tastes in some things, but honestly, it seems like you've gotten less tolerant of silliness and Tom Foolery since I first started here. In any event, you're an intelligent person and although I don't read politics threads, you should continue posting them. Even just the thread titles usually give me some insight to what's going on in this world.

Keep on truckin', Man.
Ya know, don't take it the wrong way, but a lot of the time when I read your posts I think you have some sort of mental condition. Other times, you're just a good spirited nerd like the rest of us. I have nothing against you though. Good person all around.

You barely ever post anymore! You're one of the older members, if I remember right, and unlike some of them, you actually have that weird bone in your body "humorous erectus" or whatever it's called. You're good at whatever it is you do here, so keep doing it, I guess. (I'm so bad at addressing large amounts of people )

Damnati painfully thought these words up:
I don't really know what to think of you and your posting here. On one hand, you have posted some of the very most entertaining things in my time here (specifically the jealous fridge doujin) and, on the other, you've posted the very most disturbing things I've ever seen on the internet (the pore insertion doujin). Yours is the first word that comes to mind in connection with weird porn but, for the most, there aren't too many negative associations tied to you.
You're kind of in the same boat as Delphi in that sometimes I read your posts and go WHY DO YOU LIVE. Other times, I say, well maybe he's not so bad of a guy. You have had just as hard of a time adjusting and trying to fit into this community as I have, and I respect that. I didn't like you for a long time for reasons I can't even remember, but you have improved drastically. Whatever you're doing, keep it up.

Talonus is one of the biggest assholes on the board, but he's also one of the most intelligent people I know. And intelligent in the ways I care about like with games and shit. Probably other ways, but whatever. You have a way with words that makes me not want to disagree with you and usually, you're right about stuff. You should play WoW again, so I can bug you with questions.
Also, no I do not like guro. At all. (not even a little bit)

I agree with this assessment wholeheartedly. As I am now a lot older(fancy that!), my tastes in humor have become more refined, and, dare I say, demanding. Thus, where silliness for its own sake amused me to no end three years ago, I now find it largely pointless, especially when those doing it have demonstrated the capability for witty, insightful, cutting humor that I do enjoy.
As for Tom Foolery, that fucker knows what he did. Asshole.
