I sat down tonight and had a long time of thinking. It struck me how much this place means to me in my everyday life.
I wake up in the morning - I log into IRC and jumps into the current discussion, being met with friendly comments and respect. I go to the forums, check for any new threads, I post in some interesting topics, hold some fun debates. When the evenings come, IRC get a bit more active, I discuss philosophical questions with a few people I know, over IRC - I make some threads on the forums and just thinks "It is so great to be in a place of such understanding and warmth." ToS is a part of my everyday life - and it has become more and more of my family. All of you in here are my friends - I can discuss anything with you, everything from trivial, minor things, to life-changing issues. And I know that whatever I say, you take it for what it is - not for what everyone else thinks. I can truly be myself, I can talk about anything here. The INCREDIBLE friendliness and warmth showed here recently has made me a much happier person. And I have you all to thank for that. ToS is not just a community - it is a sanctuary - a place to come to whoever you are, however you feel. So a million thanks to you all for making this the place it is. A true family.
