Thanks Lithium, that means a lot coming from you. I'm just happy that people can enjoy their time here. And I'm also happy that I've been able to do so with Juke and some of the old members of the community.
I've been working on my DojoDemon entry. It's not very long yet, but I've gotten progress done and that's what counts. I don't animate that much anymore, so I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed and intimidated by some of the dojo members screenshots, and even most of our members screenshots, which might be contributing to my procrastination. I'll still do my best to get something done though.
The community has been alright lately. We occasionally get people who stray off topic or cause pointless debates, but things wouldn't be fun if everything was serious all the time. Obviously as staff we try not to let things fly, but sometimes it's pointless trying to defend the rules when everyone is breaking them. The main reason for people trolling on this site is to get some type of reaction out of the staff or other members, and I've come to realize the best way to deal with these people is to ignore them. Eventually they get bored and either leave or learn to be mature and take the time to fit in with the community. I enjoy posting here and I've met a lot of great people on this site and if it wasn't for you guys this site wouldn't even be a thing.
My life has been pretty good. I actually just got a $1 raise at my job and a promotion to Buisness Services. I don't make that much money as a Technical Support Representative, but it's a pretty laid back job and I've been there for quite awhile now and gotten used to my co-workers. I'm currently done with school, but I plan to go back, possibly for a Business Degree. I've always wanted to open my own electronics store, but it's a bit ambitious for me. I guess all things come with hard work and time, so if I want it enough, I'll strive for it. I'm pretty open with everyone here, so some of you might know some of this already, but it's cool getting a chance to share my thoughts.
Anyways man, enough about me, how are you? I'm happy that you still check in with us every so often, even if you are not as active as you used to be. It's nice seeing an old face around here. :)
