This post marks my 5 THOUSANDTH POST! on the Linkin Park Association Forums. I know others have passed this mark and posted their enormously huge post counts in celebration but I would just like to say I never thought I would be at this point in my life, or would have posted this many times on a website pertaining to one band. I joined this website when the hype for Fort Minor first popped up, through Google I searched FM and found LPA all over it. They were the first with news and special information pertaining to the band and all things related. Back then, I was immature, I was shy, I was stupid and I was a completely different person than I am now. I remember I had an avatar with the word "Gay" in it, I hate how I always thought it was so cool to use that word as a replacement for stupid or lame. Derek, I would like to thank YOU for snapping me out of that habit way back when (I can't even remember the year and i'm too lazy to backtrack.) I joined when I was (I think) 12 going on 13. I am now turning 16 in a few days and I have to say it has been an amazing few years. No other community has kept me coming back like the LPA has. I admit i'm not even a big fan of LP anymore but I have never found such a community with as mature members as the LPA has got. They really helped ME mature as well. I realized in these past 2 years that the LPA doesn't just catch your attention for LINKIN PARK, but other great music as well, with members that share their tastes and information. I would just like to say thank you to all the admins, mods, and all the great members of the LPA for making these forums fucking awesome. Here's to another 5,000.
congrats dude, it's been a good 5000. I passed that mark a while ago but never made a thread. *shrugs*
Different people make them for different amounts. I just felt like it was a keystone to me. And thanks everybody, Let the conversing continue in Random Thoughts!
Yeay that's awesome. It took me a while myself, but it sort of makes you happy right? =) It's been fun having you around.
