Trunten 1,000

[Trunten]

I have reached my first milestone (again).

I think I came back to Neowin just in time when I did. So many good things happened after my return. A lot of changes and additions; I've lost track of them all. But all for the better. We're still growing and very active.

I have some people to thank. I don't expect them to find this or read this. But I owe some people some thanks because I am lucky to still be here and they might not be aware of how grateful and appreciative I am. I'm sorry if I forget anyone, there's just too many of you. I'm mentioning anyone I've ever talked to and used to know and had friendships with around here. If I forget you and you want to mentioned, if I know you, let me know and I'll add you if I can think of anything to say.

Yes, I had been a member once before, left, and came back. I was "taken care of" and than reincarnated, resurrected. Some of you remember me. I've been here for a while and lasted a long time. But than I needed a break to work out problems and talk things over with administration. They're really great people. Don't be afraid to confront them with your problems if you need help with anything. Stay on there good side and you'll be fine.

Neobond and Redmak. You two get first thanks, for letting me come back and being on my side and understanding of me. I never expected the two of you to be willing to give me a second chance here. But you both surprised me and forgave me and let me stay here. Thank you.

Toxikk and Sietse. Two people here on the staff that I can consider friends. You guys have kept me going and helped me so much in the past. Don't ever change. I really owe you guys, and would pay you back if I could.

Keldyn. One of the few people I've kept in touch with here and have maintained a friendship with since the beginnings. And helped me get and stay into Fear Factory. You've always been so willing and helpful to me, even when I know I probably don't deserve it. You're a good guy, moderator, and friend. Don't ever change.

bangbang023, Blaise, BOOGSoftball?, Chad, Joel, Radish? and shockz - We've had some differences in the past. But that's all it is, in the past. No hard feelings. I don't hold any grudges. I forgive and forget. We used to be friends and talk a lot in the past. I'm sorry for the mistakes that might?ve been made and any wrongdoings I might've done. I don't know you seven very well, but from the little I do you're all good people.

Chouzan - I think I remember meeting you a long time ago when I had made an old topic asking who else is from Ohio. We're still working on getting to know each other. You seem like a person of many interests and talents and a smart individual with good tastes in games and music and a lot of other stuff.

Chris123NT - Thanks for letting me be a part of your staff back during the old Next Level days, and also for letting me be a member on the short lived O.S. Reports. I enjoyed working for you and it also taught me a lot of what I know now. And thanks again for the few wallpapers you gave me, especially the rare ones.

DedPixel - I finally had a chance to become your friend a while back. You're the guy of many Photoshop talents. You've helped me a lot in the past, taking up a lot of requests of mine. I really appreciate your time and effort and patience. I'm sorry if I was ever annoying with my many requests. We lost touch recently, but I hope you're doing well. I was starting to get to know you, and you seem like a good person and we have some things in common and the same interests. Take care of yourself and good luck with whatever you do in the future.

Double Agent 678 - One of the first people I met and became friends with here. We've lost touch and don't talk as much any more. I hope you're doing well. You're a good person and friend.

Evil Dragon - Just like with StevoFC, you helped me to learn some Photoshop basics back during the old Classix Girls wallpapers days. Thanks for the help in teaching me to learn something new.

FearMeAll - We don't keep in touch any more, and I don't know what happened with you and where you went. But you were also one of the first people I ever met here, also having interests in Dragonball Z. You've made me some good avatars and signatures in the past. You've got some good talents. I hope you're doing well.

freeza - A good friend I met here that has also had an interest in Dragonball Z. From him, I've learned a lot more. You've been a big help to me for so much. Thank you. It is a pleasure working for you.

jagedEdge - I forgot how we met. But you're a good guy and friend, and you know a lot about Macs and computers and hardware. You're a smart guy.

Jennifer - A very cool girl and awesome picture taker! Everyone should know someone like her. Fun to talk to and good sense of humor and personality.

Jstphish - I don't remember how we met. But I am glad that we did. Just like SOOPAH256, you've kept me going in life and for that I am truly grateful and appreciative. Thanks for also being a friend.

MvT Cracker - I might be the first and only person to thank you so far. Some might think you're too active and post too much and don't ever use the edit button. While it might be true, I don't judge people by their faults. No one's perfect and we all make mistakes in life. Yes, even on forums. You've actually helped me a few times in the past and I appreciate that. I for one don't mind the wallpaper spamming, because some of them are very nice. I can't say I care too much for the women ones though because I'm all ready taken, but the nature and other computer ones (MS & OEM for example) are quite nice. Thanks for that registry scanner and reparing program. It's a great system tool.

neotool - A great Winamp skinner. Thanks for the many skins you've made for me. I hope I've been of some help being your tester before public releases.

[NFC]Wave - I think we met a very long time ago back when you had a wallpaper idea similar to "Classix Girls". Your idea was "Longhorn Girls". All though its fate was short lived, we tried keeping it going and it still lives on through me to this day.

nwBen - I remember I met you looking for someone to make me custom boot screens and login screens, and we've been friends ever since. You've been through a lot too and are a good person. Keep up the good work. I've enjoyed working for you.

OldeCrow - I thank you for helping me each and every time I need help modding visual styles and helping me to learn some basic things in StyleBuilder. You're also good at porting WindowBlinds themes for me. Thank you for all the help in the past.

Quick Reply - I remember meeting you a long time ago when Neowin first got this feature, and we'd always joke about you actually being the real thing. We've been friends for a long time. You've also been by my side and helped me to keep on going with life. We haven't been keeping in touch or talking as much as we used to, but you're my friend and I hope you're doing well and wish you the best in life. I had fun working for you.

SOOPAH256 - I remember when we met. Linkin Park's Meteora was the next big thing at the time. You helped me learn a lot more too. You've always been by my side and a great person. Another one of the few I can call a friend.

spiegel - I have known you for a while, but I'm still working on getting to know you. You're a very funny person with a good personality and sense of humor. It was fun being a fellow shirt ninja and participating in our balancing acts.

Spyder - I don't see you around these parts as much any more. But I remember I think we used to talk a lot back in the good old days. I have to thank you anyway just for simply being a fellow Transformers fan. I also want to thank you for all the help over at your Apocalyptic Dreams forum. You've always been a good guy in my book. I hope to continue seeing you around Neowin in the future.

StevoFC - We met back during the old "Classix Girls" days, and been friends ever since. You've helped me with a lot. Thank you for everything you've done. You've been through a lot and you're doing well. You're a great person and a good friend. Keep up the good work.

wstaylor - When you first came here, you got things going again for the customization and icons and wallpapers sections. You're a good themer. I was glad to have helped you with your wallpaper collection. Good luck in your constantly growing and continuing searches.

EnIgMa-PenGuIn & Homer? - I am still working on getting to know you two, but you've always been my friends. We seem to misunderstand each other a lot, but we're all good people. I hope I've done some good work for you both helping you out with everything I've invested my time and effort into. You guys are a few of the only friends I have left. You both really mean a lot to me. Sometimes you're the only ones I ever talk to any more. Even if I don't always say it or show it, I am really glad we've been friends and I appreciate all the help you've given me in the past. I would return the favors if I could. Don't ever change and good luck in life and whatever the future may hold for you both.

AgEnTsMiTh - Here you go. You can have a mention anyway even though I don't really know you or talk to you. Cheers dude. The Matrix trilogy was one of my favorite series of movies, so you can have a spot up here.

I think this is everyone I know and remember throughout my entire membership(s) span here over the years. Anyone else, I'm still working on getting to know and be friends with.

I also want to thank the rest of the staff and members for all they do here in keeping this community what it is. We've all been though so much here and have had our ups and downs and good times and bad times. But we always seem to pull though and keep on going and being strong. It's going to take a lot to keep a place like us down for good.

I hope we'll be around for as long as possible and have many more good things to come for us!
