I joined this forum about a year and a half ago and I've already have over 4000 posts. At the beginning of my tenure I was probably one of the most annoying posters on here (I probably still am). I was just a guy who ran thread to thread making idiotic comments and really not contributing to anything. I was probably called a lot of things behind my back that I probably don't want to know about (once again, I probably still do).
Now, I've been focusing a lot of my posts on political and other general topic posts. Really, practically every single post I make is in a debate or some kind of agrument. I know I'm one of the most hated posters on here simply because of my beliefs and what I say and do. I've learned to take that and try to ignore that keep going with the main points of the debate, discussion, whatever. I've tried to cut back on my insults and my "racist" comments. But all of that really doesn't matter, at all.
Anyways, I've made a lot of progress in the quality of my posts. Even though the pure hatred towards me and my country and my beliefs, ect is still there I think the tolerance level is a little bit bigger by you guys. I'm sorry for those who don't like the political debates and what not that seem to be dragged into every thread. I don't mean to hijack threads and turn them into political and other silly stuff.
Anywho...here is the tough part: the shout-outs.
Andrew: The leader of the whole operation. I don't really know you that much but everyone seems to put you #1 on their list. You put a lot of work into the site, we all appreciate it.
Jackal: Me and you have had some weird conversations and debates in the past. We haven't always gotten along but for the most part we've stayed neutral. You're posts are always fun to read, unless they're making fun of me.

Jae: Funny poster and a pretty smart guy. Kind of like Jackal, we really have just stayed neutral and out of each others way. You're alright though.
Fender: He is probably one of my best "e-buddies" on the forum. Which isn't really saying much considering we hardly talk. He is the only person who has ever really backed me up in a political debate, so I give him props for that.
Mafia: You brought me to this site. I've called you a lot of things over the years on AIM, here and ASSL. Keep up your great dynasties.
Cyanide: We really don't agree on anything but I respect your opinion and whenever we can get in a debate it's always fun and entertaining. You're one of my favorite posters.

Indy: I hope you can get yourself a computer when you move out. The forums won't be the same without you and your Pacer-loving self. I hope you get a computer by the time the Twins knock the White Sox out of the playoffs...whenver that is.
Legend: We don't really see eye-to-eye but you make some funny posts.
Wormy10: Wormy, wormy, wormy. You're a good poster and a good guy. I hope you stick around for quite some time.
Doobie: I've called you a lot of things, including doogie, but you are a good poster and I hope you stick around, too.
Bang: We get in some great political debates, I thank you for that. You make some of the best posts I read, no doubt. I hope you enjoy the debates as much as I do.
Sit: A pretty cool guy who has some interesting things to say.
Wisdom_Kid: You certainly aren't the brightest bulb on the Muslim tree. I don't agree with you but I think you're alright. You need to get your head screwed on straight, though.
Drex: Funny guy and a great poster. I enjoy reading your posts.

The GOAT: Smart man for such a small age. Keep up the great posting.
The Other Kevin: Interesting poster and guy. I don't understand you and I'm sure I never really want to. GET THE DAMN FAMILY TREE STUFF IN TO LEGEND.

Cable Guy: You are a pretty good poster and graphics guy. Keep on improving both and you'll be one of the best in no time.
Lpasso.sol: We don't get along, at all. But...hey, that's our opinions. Hopefully we can let the past be the past and move on.
Jowe: One my favorite posters

Matthew: Another one of my favorite posters. You tell it how it is and I like it. Whether it's helping me or hurting me or others it doesn't matter. You keep it real.

If I forgot you, I'm sorry. I certainly didn't do it on purpose or because I don't like you. I'm just really lazy.
So that's it...Riot's 4,000 post milestone thread. It sucks.
