Just a big Thanks, guys

I am the forum member formerly known as Voltage, that hung around here from 2008-2009, when I was a freshman in high school. Well, now I've graduated from High School, and am college bound, and since I've been spending a lot of time being introspective and thinking about what made me who I am, I came to realize that my time running around like an idiot chicken with his head cut off on this forum those years actually did have a huge impact on who I am. Just wanted to say thanks to the board as a whole for, among other things, showing me how to not be an idiot on the internet and how to conduct oneself maturely, how to handle anonymity, and also introducing me to the social sphere of the internet. I have to say, I was quite lucky to run in to a board of mostly educated and reasonable individuals such as yourself, even if I was not at the time. Thanks for putting up with me too, and in some cases, thanks for not doing so too.

I'd also like to thank Jake for pretty much flat out telling me I'm an idiot and basically making me realize that you can't please everyone. I'd like to thank NightLord, Hlavco, and Takeru for talking to me on AIM and either actually enjoying my company or putting up such a facade. It made me feel at least welcome and you guys were friendly.

So, yeah. Thanks, guys, and sorry if none of you care or this sounds dumb or overly mushy.

It sounds like just the right amount of mushy. Thanks for the nice post!

If it's any consolation if you were ever a bother to me I can't remember that being the case.

Many people have some growing up to do yet in high school though. Most of those get over it, or at least the worst of it by the time they get to college and that's maybe a big part of why college tends to be more awesome than high school.

Anyway good luck with the college thing.

Don't worry, I wince at my high school-era internet posts too.
