Wow, what can I say. It's been a hell of a ride. From november to now, that's 2000 posts. I've been on this site a long time, and I've seen in grow, flourish, and thrive. Like we all say here, this is the friendliest little corner of the internet. I couldn't agree more. All members here, new and old, contribute to this forum in a positive way to keep it getting stronger, and bringing it together as a community even more. This means everyone. From our hardworking administrator, Twam, who brought us all here and keeps this site perfect, to our current moderators, One, Fire, and Vitamin PWN, and also, GermanShepardD, who keep the forums safe and kind, aren't too strict, but enforce the rules nonetheless. Then there is our other staff, the Art department, Communications, Promotions and events, and our news team. Each of the people in these groups are the absolute best in their field, and we could not ask for a better team of staff. Then there are our senior members, who have no real power on their own, but are highly respected and looked up to. They all do their part in keeping this forum intact, and are part of the glue that holds this community together. Then there are our new members, eager to talk to everyone on the site, eager to talk about halo, and eager to find halo 4 news and learn what the game will be like. Without our new members, without any of our members, this site would fall apart. Our member here are outstanding. This site will be here for 20 years, maybe more, and I will be there with you all the entire way. Thank you, for making such an amazing site!
Now, the part many of you have wanted to hear. The shoutouts! Now, I only did 5 shoutouts with a member description, for if I offered a description with each member I want to recognize, this would go on for far to long. So, without further ado....
ZB-85: ZB, you are perhaps my best friend on these here forums. You are the kindest person on this forum, and you are always one to act responsibly during arguments to stop them after others, including me, loose their cool. You are a great member ZB, and deserve so much.

Archangel Tyrael: Oh archy. You are the member that has molded me into the one I am today. You have offered me support and constructive criticism, and when taken to heart by me, made me a much better member that I am today. We used to have a rocky atmosphere around us, and we argued a bit, but we always came out with a smile. Also, keep up the great work on the news team!
