Welcome to 2025 
I'm sorry for being late to the party.
My workload suddenly peaked to the roof, exactly at the time when i most loved spending time with my friends here.
OK I'm back at the keyboard and can post more than pictures now.
It's a nice little place we've got here in this corner of the Internet. Positive interactions all around with quite a few folks.
Special mention goes to our resident eyeball,
@JustLooking123. I believe he's the first person I bonded with here and it was over trying to help people find their forgotten childhood games of all things (I'm still thinking about that Megadrive platformer of yours, bro).
Thank you,
@Clippy! Honestly, your kind help that day was one of the main reasons i decided to stay here... It was my first comment ever in any forums, and you even went as far as cutting sleep to help me!
The happiness was beyond words, so i wanted to share it with everyone here and help them whenever i can.
Later, in my intro post,
@Yousef complimented my eye!
I was so happy that i decided to welcome every new user, so they would become happy too!
But being naive in social interactions, i made a lot of embarrassing mistakes...
I once even asked
@Clippy to help me with my mistakes, but was poor in explaining, and his reply astonished me!
I meant to ask for 1 help, but he was going to do 10 for me!
Thank you again
@Clippy! your kind and encouraging response that day gave me a lot of confidence!
During this short period of time on this site, i made lots of different kinds of mistakes... i quoted wrong comments, said out-of-place things, sometimes was too loud with my opinions, some of my comments looked like preaching, some looked insensitive, some just plain crazy!... i even broke the site's rules a few times by linking to external sites when i shouldn't have...
And probably many more, which either i forgot, or am not aware of them at all...
I have had some very bitter moments too... which i can't forgive myself for...
My answer to
@VampireLord1024 in my intro post was rude... i'm truly sorry... i felt so much regret that i was at verge of crying...
And also in the same thread, i reacted to
@Yousef complimenting with a (Haha
) reaction, a cheerful face, to show him my happiness, but a few hours later, it suddenly upgraded to (Joy
) reaction! now with its crying face, it looked as if i wasn't really happy at all!
I was so worried that i quickly checked suggestion about this upgrade, and due to my poor english, misunderstood its reason and thought it's done to make it less offensive!
so commented there all sort of nonsense, misunderstanding Spike's answers too! and later found out my answers was unrelated and actually impolite too! especially when Spike was answering my questions so kindly... i deserve 1000 deaths just for this mistake.
Another very bitter memory is when i joked about the name of
@fake... i feel eternal regret for it... i'm very sorry!
And not to mention my mistakes made
@Yousef rightfully upset too! and we are talking about
@Yousef who is always kind with everyone... I tried to make up for my mistakes many times, only to make them worse with even more mistakes... I don't think there's anyone worse than me in this whole site...
And during these dark moments, it was
@RageBurner who always helped me like a true hero he is.
I talked with him many times about my mistakes, and he was always patient and kind with me, and answered me with wisdom and passion.
Also, I talked with
@Waffles many times, and was impressed to see what a great person he is in every way! one of my most respected people of all times.
And a very special thanks to
@Gorse who gifted us with the
RGT Paint Masterpiece event, one of my happiest memories on this site.
During these times, i got to know many impressive people and got inspired by them, each for different reasons.
Here's a list of some of them in no particular order.
@Laura Zonih for her cheerful and very lovable attitude, and her ability to make everything, even things that might sound mundane into absolutely beautiful moments, and also the fact that she's always herself!
@Xdqwerty for his honesty and his kind nature, and the fact that he has never harmed anyone in this forum, not even by mistake.
@DunkeyKong for his very kind heart, always paying attention to other people's feelings.
@CRTRebel for being faithful, and for his soulful welcoming comments, as if i found another version of myself... a better one, and without my mistakes.
@The Almighty Hamster, such a caring and kind person, with the ability to wrap up any chaos with ease... really inspiring.
@Leon for being an unstoppable force, while being very respectable too.
@AnonymousCookieMonster for being very knowledgeable in technical subjects, with lots of helpful comments.
and many more people...
I can speak for hours about any of the people on my list, and there would still be lots of unsaid things worth saying, i didn't give a full description of their character at all, i just told about the effects they had on me.
The year 2024 has come to an end, and that was my story in this site so far... quite an adventure! and far from being done.
I won't forget my mistakes, but will never give up hope either... and will try to improve as much as i can.
I wish you all best, and pray for better days... better days made by ourselves.
