For anyone who says to post this in the milestone thread, GFY, read the first post of that thread.
So 5,000 posts in, from a court recolor and my first "street" animation/gameplay mod, to Street 07, to SUM 07, and finally to the potential of the NBA Live PC mod, it has surely been a trip bitches. I feel that the following people need to be addressed on this occasion.
pdub: From when we were trying to figure out how to make the dunk contest lighter to editing the player models + cameras, my advanced patching can pretty much be all attributted to you. Yea sometimes I come up with the ideas or the outside the box thinking on a problem, you figured all the shit out needed for 512 jerseys in 07/08, cameras, player models, and basically anything that wasn't a court that I released. Nevermind how we play well on OTP, you did a lot to help me out and give me the abilities to make this game exactly what I want it to be. Now if I would only sit down and fucking put my ideas to work there could be some good stuff coming up on the horizon. So yea, thanks dude. Oh and will you download and play just one of my fucking street mods already? ....bastard...I worked hard on those
conrad: Amazing with the jerseys and only surpassed by his graphic art skills. The wallpapers you've made me are still being used today either on my 3 computers or at work. Sticking out the SUM07 mod and helping out with pretty much all the graphical parts of it helped make the mod what it became. Too bad you gotta look like a hippy.
dahl: You're the freaking man, enough said. Best patcher period in my eyes just because of the amazing quality of all your work. You gave me the inspiration to start patching and you only pushed me further with your NG practice court which I still regard as the best EBO edited environment created. Rucker Park, Phoenix Suns Court, and the Dallas stadiums will blow all of us away....if they are ever released that is
andrew: If it weren't for your allowance to let me use your roster for the Street mods none of that would have happened. Nevermind making me a team member and shortly after a moderator, your help progressed me up this community. Your roster patch is really second to none. When I first got 06, 07, or 08 it was the same case with all 3, I couldn't play it until you released your 1.0 because you surpass EA's roster on pretty much all fronts. And also I'd like to say thank you for really getting behind this NBA Live PC mod, without you egging us (ok me) on it would have died a while ago.
jing: You are a stealing, woman beating, frisbee playing, injured azn puta. Not much else to say other than that except to get a damn attention span and follow through with a dynasty.
bighort: He'd not here, probably will never read this, and if he does, he probably won't respond if Jaesus himself told him too. But thank you for the help in SUM and keeping me motivated to stick though it and my other projects. Its too bad you've given up gaming in general but you are on to bigger and better things now, hopefully we can all get there too.
(not)
donatelo/melwing: I would like to thank you one more time for leading the crusade against EA for the 07 patch. We need to play some more Golf: TIU soon though.
lean: Sucks to put you in a shadow, but I like to think of you as conrad-lite. You make just about the same quality, but a lot quicker and more accessible to new ideas. You rule the Philippians, so get them under control.
jae: You've inspired me to be a dick, well not really, but you do/did (come back dammit) rule by your own will and always stick with your word. I still dont think you were just by banning storm74 because of 3 bad posts but whatever, we all fail, just in different levels of suckage.
shadowgrin: You've inspired me to punch babies that I walk by on the way to and from work. But then I realize that if I did that, we've have more people like you when they got older so I restrain myself. One of the funniest, but most bastardized posters here. Aren't I supposed ban you for coming back?
thomas: You aren't around, or maybe you are, I don't know, but you're cool cause of all the retro crap we did with 04. Well, we didn't do much I think, more planned it, but it was fun. So yea, you're cool too.
Qballer: Your myspace has the 2001 parquet wood texture for a background. Yea, I know this series too well....maybe someday I'll make good use of that knowledge.
lilvc: Gone now, but damn dude, first good aiact edits, pioneered it for me and others.
benji: I've just barely realized how much stat shit you do. Holy fuck dude, get a job doing something with stats. And hopefully dot orgy will get some more traffic on it in the near future, heh, heh, heeeeh.
Other people that I think deserve to have stuff written up on them here, but I have the attention span of a toddler on speed {/random} so let's wrap this up.

Shoutouts to storm74 and jerry, the fallen members who I wanted to keep around but have disappeared because of that dreaded ban button.
Finally, cause I know she'll probably read this sooner or later since she has seen me typing it for the past half hour. I want to make one last shoutout to ItscatwithaK. I Love You, MUAH.
I forgot people, I suck, I know, but hopefully coming soon I'll have some new shit to release for the game series this forum is based on, even if none of the people that read this ever go into the patching sections.
