Two years ago, I joined this forum called RaGEZONE, for the resources in games it had to offer. Soon enough I noticed that there is more than just a handful of game resources here, and that there is also an amazing community. I slowly drifted away from my attraction to the games and merged into the community. In the end, I decided I was going to stick around for the people, but still not fully become part of it.
:newbie:
I became a moderator a few months later, after having abandoned my noobhood from MU and joined the real community, deciding I want to remain dedicated and helpful to the community for as long as I can. I believe it was at that point which I had truly felt as part of the community.
:groupwave
During my time here there have been many changes in my life. Some of which changed everything, but though it all, RaGEZONE stayed with me throughout the whole time, by my side. I moved continents, and was torn away from everything, everyone, and every place that I grew up with for 3 years and learned to love, yet RaGEZONE stayed with me. A few months later, after having arrived at Toronto, Canada from Israel, I became mature enough to be promoted to Super Moderator (Lately, I have been caught up with school projects and exams, so I may not have been as active, but I will make up for it this summer ;)).
:spacecraf
Along the way I have met some great people who helped me in many ways. Even though there was no "real life" connection, in a way they are still just as good friends as anyone else I know in real life. I met some truly amazing people here. Unfortunately, some potentially great people have decided to leave in these two years, such as Zorobz, for instance, who'se presence has slowly vanished into nothing. On the other hand, though, some equally great people have been here since the start! Some of which have become a true piece in the puzzle of RaGEZONE. Just to name a few of the great people here (that I can recall at this moment): Exclamatio, NoPeace, Becky, evilkitten, Sipher, MentaL, Kaoii, Josh, Hybr!d, NeoSparky, TriumpH, Smo, Negata, Solares, Akaruz, and many many more. I really hope that some day I will be lucky enough to meet even just one of you in real life.
:cupidarro
No matter what happens, RaGEZONE is always going to be a huge part of my life, just by the fact that I have been here for two years ;). In a sense, this place is what kept me going through some really rough times, especially when we moved continents.
:console:
I would like to end my post by saying that I hope to enjoy being part of this community for many years to come. I would also like to personally thank each and every one of you for making RaGEZONE what it is today, and for accepting me as a member.
Sincerely,
John
