I noticed earlier today that I was close to 3,000 posts on this site. It really isn't a big deal, but then I thought back to the day I signed up for the site and thought "Man, it'll be fun to play with people I played all those years ago with." It was a nice change of pace since I had pretty much stopped played games for a year+ prior to that. Mostly because I had such a hard time finding a job in my field, I felt maybe gaming was holding me back (due to spending too much time on them and maybe not working harder on finding a real job). The week I signed up on TAB, I was offered a job position in my field with a lobster company. Even though I am no longer currently with them, I was glad to have a place to relax after my stressful experiences of starting that job. I've had pretty damn good luck in all venues in my life since then, and I think it was partially because my outlook on life had changed a bit.
I had something constructive to focus on. I wanted to help build something out of (almost) nothing. But I'm terrible at doing that on my own. Tristan gave me an opportunity to help him build TAB, and I just wanted to say the past 15 months has been pretty awesome. Tried out a fuck ton of games with many awesome people. Made a ton of friends who, quite frankly, I treasure more than many of the other people in my life.
I just wanted to do a small thank you on a (kinda) monumental number. Thanks to all of those that want to see [TAB] grow and help it do so. You guys gave me another reason to be happy about who I am and what I do, and I couldn't imagine life without you guys.
