[#21]

Where to begin...where to begin......................Ah yes!

I remember that day....May 27th, 2007 when #21, sadok, and deltatsunami got together. We were messing around doing this and that. We then moved to discussing plans for making a forum. "SMF!!" "No PHP!" "PHP sucks get vbulletin!". I remember distinctly sketching out some plans, and one part being: "_Owner, _Admin, _Smod, _Mod, _VIP". I had my head full of ideas and was influenced greatly by Talkgeek. We debated many things. At the time, deltatsunami was the "computer master". He would oversee technical changes, while sadok and I ran the place. I would also be the financial backer. We decided on using SMF and on the domain "IJFG.com" (Internet Junction for Gamers). I remember someone wanted to call us "Internet Jeraffes Frolicing Gracefully". <- Haha. I recall that we had many banner competitions, and I also remember that the banned was horrible XD. I made it in Microsoft Word...what can I say =P.
I remember the moment when we reached 20 Members I was so happy and proud....at 50 I was celebrating....same when I reached 100 members.
Then we grew like a beast.....we got many posts, threads, members, activity etc. Our Runescape Black Market was quite large as well as the runescape section itself. We were still an SMF forum.....without a quick reply =S.
Then I looked into vBulletin. At this same time was about when Sadok changed his name to "Halo". Deltatsunami had also come back as admin but had changed his name to "W1shed". I upgraded to vBulletin and started exploring it. We endured many staff promotions at that time, while at the same time had to endure many, MANY scam reports, scamming accusations, etc. You name it. We dealt with so many scam issues at this time that it wasn't even funny.
Time passed, before you know it both w1shed and Halo are gone. I'm alone. So I get the first admin besides us three. Dan. He had done much for the site...he deserved admin. He got it, did well, etc. Started impressing everyone with his pure runescape account. Then I got scammed by him, and the next second you know it, I'm out of an admin again. Again, I'm alone. But then I get a little more relaxed and let admins flow in and out more easily.
Then our site peaked. We were doing fine and dandy. Then the RuneScape Real World Trading Update came through. Like all others, we fell like a bird. Immediately, I called for change. Immediately. We moved to MMO RPGs, and moved domains. Not only that I added a homepage and topsite. Trik.com was the new domain. A domain that many would pay thousands for. It is a force to be seen.
Ladeda. But I bet you're bored with my little pep-talk, so let me get on with the most important part of this post.....

I would like to recognize a lot of people that have made my life here on this internet world.

Sadok/Halo/Verify My Existance -- Man....you will always have a spot here if you choose to come back. I'll be seeing you around for sure. You're cool, you don't lose your temper, you have skills and you'll always be remembered here. You're awesome.
deltatsunami/w1shed/MT -- You have learned young padawon. You went from cussing out people, to being an honest man. You are an excellent coder, h4ck3r, and bud. Keep up the owning.
SuperNova/Coca-Cola/Foxhound -- #1. Young but cool. You were there the day it started. Even if your loyalty has wavered, you'll always have a spot in my heart. I won't ever forget you even though you're still here. I hope you come back full time. I'm sure you'll learn admin cp skills and computer smarts soon.
Jake/Notanautoer -- Good luck in life. You helped me and I won't forget. I hope you understand why you had to go...all evidence pointed against you. I'm sorry.
Zuloco -- Eh. You scammed, sorry. You contributed so much, I can't believe it. You're still a cool guy, just keep your head up.
DeathHawk/DeathGamer -- I remember you were in the podcast with sadok and delta. Nice one man. You've been here a long time. I don't forget that. Anytime you want to return...you will get a warm welcome.
Line -- You found us through god knows what. I have no idea where you are, or what your name is now. Come to me!
Peepsters -- Holy cow dude. We were like *THIS* and then you went to the army. You returned and expected to be king of the world. I wish we could just go back to being cool. I want you back.....just don't know what happened.
Svpernaut -- I gave you the chance and you took it. Nice job. Sad to see you have too much in real life to work here.
Chaos -- Is WoW that tempting? Come back and beat my ToD score again! Get your MM butt over here!
Dan -- As much as I hate what happened, you're still the same old arrogant cool guy. You might piss everyone off from time to time, but you've got some skills no doubt of that.
Darkspirith/DS -- Amazing kid. He has been here from mid-way point, and contributed a lot. What would I do without you? First guy to 2k posts, and will hold top poster for a while I bet.
Simple Splatter/ChipMunk Man/Simple -- Whoa. You have changed a lot. You went from being a great guy to a complete dick to me.
w1nterw0lves/Link -- You are the best. Nothing else to say. You own.
King Koopa -- Ahhh. Why'd you leave man GunBound is nothing compared to Trik XD. Well. Hope you get some sense into your brain and come back. I need you man.
God Calysto/God Caly -- Mod -> Smod -> Admin -> Legend. I hope you finish your school and then do your duty. You're a sweet guy.
Sean -- Good luck with the girl. You're welcome back anytime.
halosniper -- You were young, you were full of energy. You have family problems and I respect that. I hope you return when you're older. You'll be remembered.
Ruin -- Cool guy, been friends forever.
Wise -- Where'd you go. Come back now you amazing man.
1-Dub -- Get your life back together, and then we'll see who's #1 smod.
pie pl0x/Strike Freedom -- You're losing the arcade dude, get the top seat back!
SonicLink -- You are a great Super Mod. I don't know what I'd do without you. Keep it up.
Kingumar -- A good friend, and has a high potential. I wish he would show that.
Trikster/Ian -- Code it up.
Enemy -- You have potential, let me see it. Don't get depressed and you're cool.
Supah Fly -- OMG AMAZING.
Steve -- I'm here for you.
SantaClause -- Too much to handle =p?

Happy Anniversary guys! FEEL FREE TO WRITE YOUR OWN member evaluation like I've just done. *nudge* feel free to write it up *hint*.

[g0t RicE?]

I love SantaClaus. That's all I have to say about that.

Gratz on one year. To be honest, I didn't think this site was going to make it. When it was IJFG, I began to question the future of this forum. But you proved me wrong. Good job.

Woot woot! One year. This site went down hill a bit with the RuneScape real world trading update, but we still made it. I got some friends coming in and hopefully we get back to that peak point soon.
Honored to be here and to be staff.

Huge vouch out to 1-Dub, Delta, Dan, Chaos, King Koopa, all of you guys were some of the first people I met on here and you guys helped me to where I am now, I remember when quite a few people thought I was a big scammer that had been here before then I cleared my name and made my way to fame it has been a great run so far and I hope it will continue on even though we are going through some hard times right now.

I plan to make it to admin and with all of you here I think it wont be all that hard but still, I will earn it.

Dan - You are a sick guy, very knowledgable about things and what not.
1-Dub - You are one of my greatest friends on here, though I havent heard much from you lately.
Chaos - I always looked up to you, I remember how wise I thought you were and I still think you are.
W1shed - Sorry for the old name but I think it was your best one, I really looked up to you to, I always wanted to be as respected as you.
halosniper - Not sure what happned to you but we had a great run as buds.
King Koopa - While I'm not sure if you will read this or not, you are a freaking pimp.
Link- You've been here just as long as I have been and I know you are a great person.
#21 - None of this would have been posible with out you and I hope that I can continue to be a part of your great staff.
Everyone else - Thanks for being a great community and for all you help

Happy aniversary trik... =D
I remembered when we were discussing about this and it went from that to this.

BTW, just FYI, the reason I was banned was because 21 and I were having a fight and I made an account called No.21_ASSHOLE. gg 21
