RGT Users appreciation thread: recall all the friends you made and your favorite interactions!

[Waffles]

@JustLooking123 right back at ya, buddy

I love the great insight @Cu-Neo leaves on every comment they make, particularly on my articles.

Also a personal fan of the way @ATenderLad breaks down what he likes the most about long pieces to comment in a more organized and straight-to-the-point manner.

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.


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.

Wow, that's a lot to take in
You're paying so much attention to everyone you talked to. Also me kind? I don't know about that but thanks!

You're not just kind, you're…how do I say this? Maybe one of a kind, maybe all of us are one of the kind! And again, thank you for that really noteworthy message! You're awesome

????

I don't really understand what you meant by that, as when you said "The award goes to this comment!
I was too much worry about being out of place! " and "The award of "Make yourself at home!"
I don't feel stranger in this site anymore! and it's all thanks to your comment! " that's not being rude though..

Thank god if you think so.
Actually i couldn't understand your comment at that time, again due to my poor english, so i mistook it for a comment posted on a wrong thread!
But after a while, i suddenly noticed it's meaning, and felt very embarrassed for saying such a thing, so i tried my best to make up for it in my next comment.
I'm really ashamed... even if my wrong assumption was true, my comment wasn't good...

HII!!!
I was trying to reply to you but my roaming internet in Saudi was really unstable so all I could do was to keep… just looking ; )
Really sorry for not getting back at you sooner. If it’s any consolation, your message made me super super suuuuper happy, truth be told, I’m way more self conscious than I let on. When no one mentioned me in this thread I thought maybe everyone secretly disliked me and I started panicking hahahahahahaha, it was obviously the sleep deprivation paranoia getting to me. I’m ok now <3
Kind words from @Gorse and @Waffles and and LITERALLY everyone else (I could literally ping soooo many people but im afraid to spam) like reassured me otherwise haha. I was probably… too obvious to mention? Which flatters me in its own way

Pls pls pls don’t misunderstand the relationship we have here ;((( I speak from the heart when I say I SINCERELY have zero clue what you mean by “upsetting” me. Like I was literally about to ping you in this thread saying you are a BALL of sunshine and have a great EYE for decent people but my internet was so bad hahahaha. I’m super humbled you decided to ping me I really don’t kmow what to say hhhhhhhh

I’m glad I inspired you that way!!! And also glad my godawful puns somehow had a good effect xDDDD, truth be told, it pleases me to know I’ve left this specific kind of impact. I’m not nice just to be nice, I really truly wish to encourage others to be nice too!! Im actually really shy haha so I want others to be less shy and realize we have a great community here!!

Thanks again I don’t know what to say. Really happy you see me that way x), but I don’t wanna sound self centered because I totally share the same sentiment!!

(Also glad my internet let me send this. I’m on way from Saudi and back to Kuwait. So far it’s been a great trip!!)

I was unsure about joining the website after I saw Spikes message asking for writers in a comment on the Windows version of Blade 2 on CDRomance of all things, but I'm very glad I did because this place is great. I've never really been one for forum posting or even social media (no regrets on that one), but it's been genuinely refreshing to see this place grow into what it is now. I don't post that much on the forums (I think I'm still only a 'Young Hero') but I lurk a lot and read interesting threads when they pop up and it's just honestly really cool to see how friendly and 'non-internet like' the site's become. So yeah, I love the site and I love all of you guys too.

Yeah man, it's a wonderful place
I'm glad you're still doing well too

Shoutout to my buddy @Teone, who was excellent in teaching me how to moderate the forums at a time when I had zero experience with the inner workings of XenForo.

Also, isn't it great that half the team is from South America? ;D

 

[VampireLord1024]

I was just adding my humor to what I typed, as there's been a few people on here that've said "welcome to the site, we have cookies/pizza".

I didn't view your replies that you said to me as rude, so it's alright, as you didn't say anything wrong to me. It's fine if you're not good at English, I'm sure there's a lot of similar people in the world that isn't very good with English or other languages. Happy New Years though.

 

[LUNARMYTH]

I haven't had any direct one-on-ones with many here but I have enjoyed every conversation I've had with the lot of you since my arrival. Sometimes I'm just here to clown around, sometimes I like to reminisce, and sometimes I just like to give you some good music. But all in all, the family here made me break some shells that I've been wearing for decades, wild how that works just from a gaming community.

Big thanks to @Yousef and @Waffles for clowning around with me. @ScroogeWantsYeMunny @Boo Man @SkunkyBeaumont and @Gorse for interacting with my content, among many others.

Been a bit more busy lately so I have less to say, but I hope we all stick around.

That's good to know man, don't force yourself if you're busy. What matters is that you're having a great time here, I hope you're doing great in life too

We're all a one big family, so reach out if you needed to

@Laura Zonih: you don't talk much, but reading you is a delight every time you do talk.

Y'know, I was about to ask if you were replying in the right thread, maybe that mosquito earlier got to you or something but after giving it some thought you're right. She's a little gem, isn't she? She just needs to break out of her shell a little more.

I'll have you know that I can be perfectly incompetent on my own ;D

 

[Skeetos]

I haven't been active in a hot minute. But it's pretty cozy talking to everyone here. This is the first forum I've participated in and I think I picked a good one. I don't really engage in social media except to talk to close family and friends, seems too detrimental with how people act and treat each other these days. So it's cool to see a place that reminds me of how the internet used to be before Google and Facebook bought up everything. @Yousef you're a pretty cool guy too man. Like reading your perspectives on stuff.

 

[Jusaiki]

I thought about starting out this post by mentioning which users I’ve made as friends, but then I realized… too many to mention!! It would be insincere if I try and then accidentally forget to leave someone out!! I don’t wanna do that so I’m going for a cop-out answer: nearly everyone I’ve had lots of friendly interactions with is my friend and I’m glad I’ve met you all!!! <3
POWER OF FRIENDSHIP IS SUPREME!!

You're right, this site has been the best decision for me. Not only it is comfortable to be here, but I feel safe or basically no hostile kind of vibe from almost everyone

It's just chill, cool and calm

@Laura Zonih: you don't talk much, but reading you is a delight every time you do talk.

I definitely talk too little...
(I'm still wondering if that's a good thing or a bad thing...!)
However,I really appreciate you mentioning me in your post

I would say that you are one of the users from whom one can learn a lot of things.

I am actually happy to know that I am surrounded by very interesting and nice people...(I never get tired of saying that!!!)

I appreciate your presence regardless. We have a phrase in Arabic to describe pleasant people. “You’ve let up the place with your presence”, I feel that describes you perfect : D, you’re a giant source of positivity. Which is awesome for me cuz I’m a bit too receptive of positive feedback haha. It’s really easy to get on my good side xD. And I also treat people who I wanna treat them, Sabes Que?

Eres un gran amigo y estoy encantado de haberte conocido. Todas nuestras conversaciones han sido agradables. Eres bienvenido a conversar cuando quieras. No tienes que sentirte presionado para pensar en algo que decir. A veces basta con saludar para hacer feliz a la gente : )

 

[elehayyme]

As others have mentioned earlier (and it feels like I'm a broken record at this point), this place has a cozy vibe and it is wonderful that folks are very nice and welcoming of each other.

I still consider myself very green here but thank you for making this place such a welcoming community.

Thank YOU for joining us.

A forum would be nothing without its users
