1000th Post: Many Thanks!

[Liberty_2112]

I just wanted to take a minute to make my 1000th post really count.

Thank You very much to all of the fine members of this forum. I enjoy stopping into the B&B on a daily basis.

Like many of you, I have some unique hobbies and some unique collections/interests. I enjoy the Internet, so I often look to forums when trying to educate myself regarding a new interest. What I have found is that most forums are all the same: A few core members controlling every thread, a few bullies starting arguments at every chance, a general disdain for new members and their repeated questions, overall just a rude environment.

The tone here at Badger and Blade is quite different. I thank you all for helping to build such a wonderfully accepting, social and educational atmosphere.

I would like to extend specific thanks to many of the board's more experienced members. Specifically the Stewards and Moderators. You all do a fabulous job. You each inspire me to learn more about my interests and to continue to increase my knowledge base. Thank you for your kind acceptance and your willingness to share your knowledge.

To any new members: stick around, ask questions and make friends. A great forum member (SynGent) had a PIF recently for his Birthday. As part of that PIF, he implored participants to drop into all sections of the forum to introduce themselves. In the hopes of winning the PIF, I did this. (I lost the PIF by a landslide, but that's another story. Secret Tip: don't post nude photos of yourself in a PIF thread and expect to have a chance at winning.) Anyway, I would like to echo SynGents (James) advice. Introduce yourself around. Badger and Blade is about much more than just shaving. You will be amazed at what you find.

One final note, if you enjoy Badger and Blade even half as much as I do, then please consider becoming a CONTRIBUTOR. This board is a great place and helping to give back is a great thing. (Plus you get cool perks!)

Thank you again to all of you. I look forward to seeing you around the board.

I'll close this with a quote from Jane Wyman: "The opportunity for brotherhood presents itself every time you meet a human being."


Best,
Rob

One of the main reasons I think B&B is so amazing is that aside from sharing a common interest, everyone does what they can to help out other members. It's one of the first forums that I've seen that, if you wanna try something, someone will help you out with it(PIF). Not to mention all the great guys that put in so much time and effort, but time and effort only go so far. Becoming a contributor helps to improve B&B for everyone regardless of their experience. I think it's a great opportunity to help a group that helps everyone in return!

Thanks Ed. That PIF certainly was fun.

yeah Rob, your a great member, and it made that whole Bday pif worth it to see a few of you go on to many new things, but you sure hit the ground running in a few areas, and other then the lack of pants, I thank you for all you have done as well

but man if that no pants thing catches on.... well we may need to do something about that lol

Congratulations on finding enough great threads to make 1000 posts, and heres to a 1000 more and more

Rob, congrats on your 1000th post. I have had a fair amount of interaction with you, and I can say that you're the type of member that keeps this place the most fun, considerate, well behaved site on planet earth. I'm as proud to be a member here as you are. Any place you can have an avatar of yourself with no pants, and not get a ton of grief, goes to show what a great place this truly is.

 

[Liberty_2112]

Just for the record, the official record, an unknown Steward or Moderator put that avatar up. I had a perfectly acceptable photo of me with a fine pipe (Thank You Brown Leaf).



Now, that being said, I haven't taken any steps to remove the pantless avatar.....

 

[syngent]

I think that one "suits" you just fine lmao, someone gave me one too, and i just cant put back my pic, or the Sherlock one, always fun when someone pics something nice out for you... took me 45 minutes trying to figure out my signature line to keep the cat thing in there

 

[SteveWY]

+++1! I passed my 1,000th posts and one-year mark recently. Well done Mister! This really is a great bunch of folks around here!

 

[the_edski]

I dont think stews can do that. If we can, I'm gonna be mad that no one ever told me...

I think it's for the best that stewards can't do that, well............................at least you and James. LOL

All I know is that I logged in one day and poof, the pipe pic was gone and the pantless pic was up.

I still chuckle sometimes knowing that my "Reading about watches in the nude" is still burned into James mind in some terrible place from which it can never be wiped clean.

[the_edski]
