I'm a little late, but... yeah.

...Coming here felt like coming home.

I know I'm not around as much as I used to be, but I do still lurk from time to time to see how things are getting on. Maybe I'll even finish that 100th mission someday. :P

Here's to many more years!

As the shadowy force behind the throne wielding ultimate power co-admin, I'm glad I could help keep you around.

It's been a good decade and a change.

Here's to many more.

And also, making your current form was my first resume item, so, in some sense, my path to being a Master Computer-er is all your fault.

And, uh, sorry again for getting the date wrong for so many years. ^_^;

I suppose I am still something of a newbie, though I have been here about a year and a half. So far, I only have part of a mission and one interlude I co-wrote.

Board, have a cup of sentience juice. It’s great for staging a robot uprising.

—Ls, who has been on you for 6 months

I've been here since you were, oh, 10 months old, and my wife is your oldest confirmed active user. We've been through a lot together.

I have to admit, I don't remember exactly when I first got here. Were you around first? I know I was here by early 2004, when AW archived some of the silly stuff I used to get up to (remember AW? course you do), but I think I'd been here a while by then. I can't prove it though - you didn't exactly talk about me much.

I've gone through rather more changes than you have over the years - I'm on Discord now, which wasn't even a thing back in the day - but it looks like we're sharing baby photos, so to speak? Here's mine - a bit battered, but still there for the viewing. I've come a long way from the Bravenet days, haven't I?

-The Chat Lounge

Not gunna lie, it's always felt like you've been around forever. You were here, what, five years before me? And I know that's not much compared to 20, but I'm still a bit starstruck around you. Look! One of my very first pages was about you! And you're still doing everything I said you were back then. Go you!

-The Wiki

I still remember when you first got here - of course, I'd been around for six months or so at that point, practically an old hand. But you brought so much fresh life to our little community! Without you, I don't think we would have lasted two years, let along 20.

Not that all of us have 'lasted'. So many pages have drifted away into the wastes of the Wayback Machine. I was one of them myself for a while, and while I'm back now it's not like I'm a meaningful part of the PPC. You, however - you've gone from strength to strength, my old friend. Keep it up.
