It's been a year since I came on staff, and I've noticed a lot, learned a lot, and hopefully taught a bit...

In that time, I've seen a revolution, the country, and a lot of you guys. I've told stories, spun tales, fabricated lies and stood up for the truth. I forgot how to talk and learned how to write in a way that causes others to listen.

I've gone from spineless engaged wuss to single confident pimp, n00b to tech, reserved to bold, and quiet to loud. My skills have improved, my demeanor has changed, but one thing is still the same.

I shared it all with you guys.

I remember the things you didn't all see-Duck and Chrome with me on IM, calming me down after my fiancee left me, Lokie and ZENNZZO's constant encouragement, BA's quiet way of letting you know you're appreciated. I got to share in your joys, both personal and public, to carry your pain, and encourage your projects. In return, you did the same, with IM, PM, e-mail and phone.

We've seen a lot together, and I hope it stays that way for a long time to come. I'm learning more every time I turn a screwdriver, and everything I learn I try and pass on.

As I start my second year, I want to thank you all for letting me be staff, for letting me be your friend, and for letting me share in the site that is PR.

I have very few close friends, and I am glad to call you one of them. I hope this year sees just as much improvement as the last.

Fantastic Post Kayin

All that time I spent insulting you & your mods, and I don't get a mention ?

Nothing like a Prong in your ear to keep your modding going swimmingly...

Man time sure does fly. I think PR has changed alot of us for the better. I know that it has defiently changed me. This is one of the few places I look forward to coming to everyday.

Thanks for all that you have shared with me personally as well as the rest of the site. I now have an AN35/N which will before too long become an O/C monster (just need new CPU, RAM, and PSU.....everything) It will most likely be the mobo in the finished Pimped Rig project I have in the works as well.
Glad to have you here, hope you stick around for a long time to come.

I remember Kayin on Digi's radio show, that shiat was off tha hook!! I heard him squeal 'boobies!!!' and I spit soda across the screen I was laughing so hard.

My 1 year is coming up in July sometime.

My year mark is waaaaay off in august... I'll say this, ever since I came here, I've seen that's it's full of great people, and exceptional staff. I've had the luck to get to know Kayin, and he's a really great guy.

Congrats on the year as staff d00d!

happy anniversary Kayin...you're an asset to the site...

That FF mod you've got goin' looks great...

Keep up the good work bud
