For being the ONE,TRUE SOUNDING BOARD that people actually become friends on.
No matter what we've all gone through,and no matter how STUPID we may have acted at one point in time...We've kept each other in check. Because,we
actually care for one another. Whether or not we meet,or agree,or know what each other look like. In this internet world of crap,I've not only been
recipient of caring,but witness to and (hopefully) part of honestly giving a fuck about our fellow man/woman.
I may not be on here a whole lot,but I've no shame in saying -HELL,I'M PROUD! - to call you guys my friends.
I'm so fucking glad that I came aboard this thing...
And,so should all of you.
Your friend,

well said paulie, you´re more than right.
all members i got to meet or have other contact to are great and honest people.
i´m proud to be part of the thorp family!Jason the Magnificent - 12-22-2011 at 08:31 AM
yep...this place really is the corner tavern of message boards.
people disagree at times but it always remains civil...there's a reason so many people post here with high post counts, and it's not because they're
spamming nonsense.
once you're here, the stool is yours to keep.
I just wish I could turn off all those stupid ass anime avatars lol.Dave - 12-22-2011 at 08:50 AM
Whatcha talkin bout Willis....MattyA - 12-22-2011 at 08:57 AM
I agree with everything that has been said. I have met some good people on this board, and with any luck I will be able to meet everyone. I love that
you can speak your mind and not get crucified for it, I hope everyone has a safe Christmas and New Years.JawnDiablo - 12-22-2011 at 09:55 AM
well said Paul.
a truly great bunch of heads on this here board.
It's been a pleasure in meeting several of you in personBKT - 12-22-2011 at 11:04 AM
Could not agree more with this post. Had the pleasure of meeting a few of you and would like to meet more some day. Great place to be and I have never
been part of an online community in the way I am part of this one.
Wish all the best in the new year for every single one of you guys and girls.

true as always Paulie. Hope to see you sometime soon. ChadBeantown - 12-22-2011 at 11:56 AM
I have met some great people from this board and look forward to meeting more of you in 2012!!! Discipline - 12-22-2011 at 11:59 AM
Agreed. I looked the other day at when I signed up, and I can't believe I've been posting here for over 7 years. No matter what happens on this
board, I'm on here several times a day.lifeisabitch - 12-22-2011 at 12:08 PM
No lie, this board saved my life and the life of my son...
no words can be expressed that can explain my level of gratitude for the people I have met here.
Hardcore and thorp records literally saved my life. newbreedbrian - 12-22-2011 at 12:20 PM
Well said Paulie. One of the best things I've done was hanging around here. Totally fucking anomaly, this place.DAK - 12-22-2011 at 12:36 PM
Home sweet home. DaveMoral - 12-22-2011 at 01:58 PM
Man, now I really feel like a dick for not getting my ass out to the show on Sunday...
For real, I love this board. Now we need some form of mini-games we can play with each other on here.panzerkreuzer - 12-22-2011 at 02:28 PM
Yeah thorpvilleJason the Magnificent - 12-22-2011 at 02:35 PM
Can someone please shear my sheep?Spoiler - 12-22-2011 at 02:46 PM
I agree 100% with every word Paulie said. I don't post near as much as most of you do lately, but don't think I'm not checking in on you guys and gals
almost daily. There is not one person on this board that I wouldn't walk up to,shake hands with and feel like we've been friends in the real world for
years with. I dig the whole lot of yous. You're all top notch as far as I'm concerned.... and I'm proud to be a part of this little family.
Hope you all have a safe and fun filled Holiday.
Your Brother,

Yeah you guys are all right. This is the only message board i post on which is a compliment to you guys because it means there are no morons on here.
I'd be glad to buy any of you a beer as long as it not a Bud, Millers, or Coors.joey - 12-22-2011 at 03:29 PM
Glad I've been able to spend the past 6 years with y'all. I don't post a whole And haven't met any of you face to face but I consider all of you my
friends.clevohardcore - 12-22-2011 at 05:54 PM
Right on Paulie, It's cool as fuck that you and all the regulars are on here. I've been logging in since 2004 and there is a reason I never stopped.
Fuck, almost 10 years. Weird.
Merry Christmas and a safe New Year to every single one of you! Someday, I'll meet all of you in person. Discipline - 12-22-2011 at 07:00 PM

Hardcore and thorp records literally saved my life.
With the exception of the part about your son, this describes me completely. Most of the people on here know about all the problems I've have/had to
deal with. I got so much support from the people here, it left me speechless.random - 12-22-2011 at 07:10 PM
You fucking tough guy pansies... oh, wait, I think I now understand why I'm still here.
This place is great. The few of you I've met are nothing but awesome, and some of you have opened your hearts and/or homes to me, and I appreciate
that more than you'll ever know (and probably more than I've ever been able to say). Some that I've met and some I haven't have helped me deal with
crazy personal shit, sometimes just sharing things via u2u and not feeling so alone.
And I still can't believe that I helped clevo with some algebra via email, which resulted in him mailing a bunch of shit to BD to pack into luggage to
take to London and hand-deliver to me in a pub... seriously, you can't make this shit up.
This place is family. Not that genetic bullshit where you don't like the person but feel like you're supposed to. Genuine, 100%,
drop-whatever-you're-doing-to-help-another family. After deaths, deployments, divorces, suicide scares, and who the fuck knows what else, I honestly
feel like I've been through more with - and have been more concerned about - the people on this board than the people I know in "real life."

Paulie - It's been a wonderful year...
and we are ALL glad you are here!

soia and biohazard. AND
The coolest place on the web.

yep, not only is there always something good to read & discuss on this board, everyone seems to be super legit, honest, trustworthy people. I used to
read this board & a few others for a while before signing up here, & I guess this is one of the rare places people can post on the internet without
bickering & namecalling. Cheers, hope everyone had a great year & has an even better new year.
