I love you, BoM.

We tend to take the most important things in life for granted. We forget to tell those nearest and dearest to us that we love them.

Tal is working hard to give us the best forum there is and of course Loki can't keep his grubby paws away and does things like wreck a hard drive giving Tal another sleepless night.

Cleaning out my PM box has me nostalgic. BoM came into my life when I was having a drastic and difficult time. SP is family, friends and sanity in a crazy world.

I have come to care about people here. I've fought with a few and ended up considering them friends. I've even learned to spell a little better.

What would my life be like without BoM? The horror is too great to contemplate.

So: I love you, BoM. Keep the home fires burning and a light in the window, Grandma will always come home.

 

Getting some sun isn't *that* bad.

The BoM also feels like home to me. I've seen members and moderators come and go, but the look and feel of the BoM has always stayed the same...along with a few members and admins. They are the reasons I keep coming back.

 

Aye. I may not post much anymore, but this place got me through a very tough time as well. I hope it's around forever.

 

Hear hear.

I haven't posted in a while, but it is still good to come 'home' every now and then. The BoM was my first experience with internet communities and I think it is still one of the most pleasant places on the web. I like to think that a few of the people here (most who sadly don't visit that often anymore) have made a real impact on my life.

So, I hope the BoM sticks around for a long time and I can drop by whenever I feel the need to hang around a familiar place.

 

We love you too Nakia

Seriously, I couldn't resist feeling nostalgic as well when I went through my inbox re-reading messages. I don't think I've ever used the BoM to talk about personal problems, but just being able to log in and babble about everything and anything was a tremendous release during difficult times. It's strange, the feeling of solidarity and friendship you can get for people you've actually never met, and whose real names you don't even know! Every time I get into heated arguments in the Alleys I decide not to go there again, and a month later find myself reading and posting again...

BoM was the first internet forum I registered to, after years of reading posts here and browsing through all the goodies on SP. Even though I've joined a couple of forums since then, BoM is the only I read and post in almost daily. And it's all thanks to a wonderful community and excellent moderation and administration by the people involved.

And, of course, thanks to the Big Man (well, dragon) himself. Tal, you're the best

 

Here here.

 

Eee, yeah, SP is very comforting. I get on every day after school and is it relaxing. I love the BoM too!

 

I believe, in a situation like this, the proper word is "wub", not love.

 

The best is yet to come? I can't wait!

 

Me too. This was my first attempt at joining an online community of any kind, and I believe it couldn't have been a better community.

 

You are still my favorite rouge...er I mean rogue Nakia! I don't post much any more, but BoM wiil always be a part of my life too. I have a friend that gives me grief about having online friends that I don't even know thier real names. I always say "Why do I have to know thier 'real' name, they still are friends"

Oh yeah, BoM is my first online community too!

 

Brallrock. I miss you. It's good to hear from old friends.

 

...shaking, I fell on my knees, eyes full of tears and a big, dumb smile on my face. "I love you BoM" I said and kissed the screen.

BoM is my first and only forum I use, altough I do have an account on Bioware and several other places, but don't use them. It's members are nice (there aren't any other idiots like me), it's free of "halo be teh l33t!1!!!!!111" and... it's just so familiar looking with the blue colouring and gems. It's even my homepage, for Bhaal's sake!
So, thank you everyone, Red Leader and others, for making Sorcerers an online home.

 

Amen to that.

 

I think that about sums up most gaming forums out there

 

depends on the game, but generally speaking, yes that seems to be the case, so glad it doesnt happen here.

first forum i signed up to was BOM, least its the earliest one i can remeber.

 

Yeah...BoM was the first forum I signed up for too...to ask a question about the first RPG I ever played...Baldurs Gate 2 - SoA...

I can't believe its been 4 years already!! You guys are the coolest! Here's to many more years with the BoM crew! Cheers!

 

I am a senior member now, I must get a life.

 

BoM rules. First 'net forum I joined, and the only one worth the bother of posting in. There's actually intelligent replies, not randomly-cased drivel.
