Hey, lol.
I wanted to celebrate my 1000th post, which was coming for the last few years as I was always on the 9-hundreds. I felt General discussion forum wasn't really the place where I wanted to celebrate this oh-so-big event  ;), and also it says before entering Adventure-related talk and chat, that:
"If it's AGS or adventure-related, and it's not technical, it goes here."
And I wish to think of it as AGS related, and AGS as a community.  :-* Usually when I'm really bored and forget about facebook and those other nasty habits that make up my life, I come back here where I feel really warm, I must tell you. I came here when I was 14, with big teen-like plans on making the next best thing. At least for my taste. I'm almost 23 now, still young tho', but much more capable and experienced than before. I see that I couldn't have picked a better moment as Back 2 the future is out (!!) and that will probably be the first real adventure game (not counting a few AGS ones I catch up with now and then - props to Journey down, of course) that I will play, I'll try even every episode. I wasn't this excited for ToMI, tho' I tried to play it but long story short, I've had technical problems (old hardware/even software)... I plan on catching up tho. Even with the final chapter of MI4, I never got to finish that old thing, didn't hold on to me really. Prolly getting a fairly new comp. in Jan so I'll do some catching up as I've put my college time on hiatus :D It is just something I felt I had to do, hmm.

Lastly, I also noticed the responses on the forums aren't very prompt anymore, am I right? Some thread titles also implicate the decay of AGS?

But aside with the grim, what have you been reaping lately? :D

With this post I just wanted to pay homage to this community that I believe is one of it's kind in many ways. The humor, the intelligence and the creativity is what kept me coming back here, and I'll always remember this place as a putting your dreams into reality type of place.

Now I'm talking too much and saying nothing at all :)

There was this great topic by stupot. Called Landmark posts.

But I revived that twice on my 3000 and 4000 posts or on my 2000 and 3000 cause 4000 was on h2g2 and 5000 was somewhere.
Worked on Strangeland, Primordia, Hob's Barrow, The Cat Lady, Mage's Initiation, Until I Have You, Downfall, Hunie Pop, and every game in the Wadjet Eye Games catalogue (porting)

Ah, the elite 1000 post club -Congratulations!  According to the membership stats there are only 121 members who have ever achieved such status.  There should be a name for you old timers who stuck it out for the long haul.  Something like the Circle of Wisdom, or the Seasoned Squad, or.... something.  I'll get back to you on that.  Anyway, thanks for thinking of your community for such a landmark post, unlike somebody....

Talk about your special moments.  That's like the real world equivalent of farting at the altar or losing your virginity to a sheep.  I demand something classy and memorable for your 6000th!

I'm getting close. This post will be 904, over the course of 7 years. Considering how little I post these days it'll take another decade to hit the 1000 mark.
