Note to begin with: Yes, I know that most of these sort of topics are posted in the Chatting Zone... But I figured it was special enough for GD.

Also, don't hesitate to read this whole thing. Your name just might be mentioned.

Wow. What an experience it's been. Two years and 219 days... That's 950 days, on the pinpoint, if I'm correct. (Yes, 2004 was a leap year.

) It's been a long time since I first joined SeeD...

Many things have happened since then. Many, many things. SeeD has sustained incredible amounts of changes, and so have its members... me being no exception. Some of you knew me back when I first joined on December 2nd, 2002, but most of you don't. I can assure you, I was quite different back then.

It's hard to describe with words how much change I've sustained in these 2.5 or so years. As an example, my first post, this forum's 851st, in the Recruit/Request Forum...

Hi. My rs name is Hyperfried, and i reeeeeeeeeeeeely wanna join the seed clan. Plz add me!

Doesn't really sound like me, does it?

Back then, well, it sure was. Back then, SeeD was basically, if not completely, a Runescape clan. Sure, we still had our forums, in which not all discussion was based on Runescape, but the majority of it was. That's basically why I joined SeeD. I had some friends on Runescape who were in clans, and I thought it would be cool to be in one too. To be honest, SeeD was either the second or third clan I tried to get into. The other ones seemed oddly... dead. And so, after coming here... I found it to be very active. And so, I became a SeeD.

Since then, as I've said before, countless things have happened... I've gained about 29 combat levels on Runescape... And completed many quests there. I've seen Runescape updated many times, including the large Runescape 2 update. I've gone to countless events, and organized a few, including my favorite: Superchao's Surprise Party.

But that's barely any of it. I've been on these forums all that time, and done a lot. I'm sure a lot of you know that I used to be a big presence in the Insanity Board way back when. Back when posts in there actually counted.

I especially remember Spamfest '03 (Or was it '04?), when X Zolon and I went insane in the Insanity Board. I still say it was me that broke the record for most posts in a day, though Zolobon claims otherwise.

321, I think.

At any rate, since I first came here, I've matured. My spelling and grammer has gotten much better, clearly. I've learned many things... What it's like to talk to some ordinary people out there, whether they're from Australia or other parts of the USA. I've learned responsibility, as a moderator, and later, a Super Moderator. I've learned humility, patience, courtesy... And so many more things.

I could go on and on forever, but I won't. Instead, before wrapping up, I'd like to say a few things to some members.

To Superchao (Even though he won't be reading this...): You were one of, if not the best friend I ever had while being at SeeD. Your generosity was matched by no one, and that's synonymous with your kindness. I was always proud to say that I was your friend, and I'm still proud to say that I consider you my friend.

To Star Jedi: You've also been a great friend to me throughout my SeeD experience. You were always so nice to me... I remember when I first started out, and when I had AIM... You were always inviting me to a chat with Argentine or Glam, talking to me... And also, thanks for bringing the knowledge of the Saturn into me.

To Gotenksjr3 (Hah! Used your full name!): I'm glad that you came to SeeD. You've always been full of vigor and fun, but with great input on everything. I don't think that I've ever seen a post less than two paragraphs from you when on a meaningful topic. And man, do you know how to put words to use. You're also a great friend to me.

To Dragonman565: I've known you since I first joined up, and never during that time have I seen you say anything negative. You've been such a positive influence on myself and the rest of this clan (and the clan itself). Thank you for being my friend.

To Darkness: Even though you didn't get all that active up until a little while ago, you've always maintained a friendship me, even through... roughages... (Man, am I good at making up them weird words.) You is be still a great friendmanpersonthing to me, and, in fact, I'm talking to you on MSN as I write this!

Hooray for the Darkness!

To Spikeout: I expect that you won't have read this until a little while later, that is, if you get the chance to read it at all. But if you do... I'm really, really, truly sorry for the way I've treated you in the past. I'll admit, even though I haven't really noticed it all that much, I have sometimes acted much too seriously when you were just trying to have fun. I'd really like to talk to you on MSN sometime soon... So we can truly resolve this now and forever. I'm still glad to say, however, that I consider you my friend.

And, finally, to Cspace: You're the one who originally made all of this possible. With a little help from Rylkan and Mossy, you created this clan. You continue to spend gargantuan amounts of your own time and money to maintain this incredible clan, these forums, this atmosphere. In times good and bad, you've come through, not just with your trademark Über Posts, (© Cspacezone Productions, 2005. No, we are not worthy.) but with your incredible innovative mind and actions. Thank you so much for making this all possible.

There are so many others that I've befriended over this long time that I've been in SeeD... However, I think I'd end up boring you all to death if I mentioned everyone. At any rate, mostly everyone here has been a friend of mine, or at least pretty good to me. And so I thank you, all of you, for improving my experience here in SeeD... and everyone else's as well.

And so, finally, with relevance to the title of this topic...
