Well, it seems that it was a year ago today that I joined up here.

What a long strange trip it's been.

I've gone from "it's nearly impossible" to "it's relatively easy" in regards to Complex String. The roadster enduro is now a cake walk. In one year, I gained an entire lap on the Ai in the Midfield race of the Formula one championship. I wrote an entire description of the Game, from 0% to 100%. I've lost every single OLR competition that I've entered, but now I only lose by about a second.

GTPlanet has seen a few hundred people come and go. A few have stuck around and contirbuted to an ever improving forum. A few of the long standing members have stuck around and enjoyed the new members. I'm still figuring out who the names changes are... The only ladies that I know that were here, are still here.

The dialog and discussions have improved, as well as I've learned more things about the people that poke around here. We've talked about Chili cook-offs, and children. Good movies, bad movies, and movies that should have been forgotten. Random music trivia, and what impact religion has on your life.

All things considered, I'm quite happy to make this my 1260th post.

Thanks guys and gals. It's been a great year, and I'm looking forward to another great year. New and improved things are on the horizon.

Congates Der Alta! Seems like you've been here for longer than a year. Guess I'm just getting old. ;)

Congratulations, AO! Many kudos for the year in review, and for the great contributions that you've made to the community (especially those fantastic write-ups and your Compendium). :)

Hmmm... One more month, and I'll be getting there...
 
Sounds like a big group hug to me. :lol: :lol:
Nice to have had you for this long and how much more have we got to put up with you?? Just kidding Der Alta. ;)
Its been a long ride for me too, but I bet youve gotten so much better at the game than me.
Please stay for many more years to come, your never to old to enjoy video games. I should know. :p

Oh, congrats.
 
Somehow I missed this on Thursday! Congratulations on your GTP anniversary, AO. I know that your budding Compendium was what prompted me to start my writeups, and us discussing brake bias and suspension tuning is what started us down this long and interesting road.

Remember this post?

Thanks for all the great discussion and companionship! Here's to another year.
 
Cheers for all the top conversations AO. You're definitely on my Buddy List.

And to think I only really started talking to you AFTER I was in Boston! D'Oh!
 
Thanks Guys,

I do recall that long time ago conversation. And to think how much I've learned since then.

Giles: It would have been nice to meet up with you and tip a beer or two. Next time your back this way, I'll be certain to meet up with you.
